The State's Example. The Archbishop said he con sidered that capital punishment was not specially effective-tas a deterrent. Whatever value thero was in the death penalty was | counter-balanced by the example of the Stats itself taking life. It tended to lower the general concep tion of the sanctity of life:
The Chairmản: You think if the State were to abolish the death penalty on account of the sanctity of life that would immediately begin to have a far-reaching in- fluence?
The Archbishop: I think it would begin. I suppose some marders would then be committed which otherwise would not have been committed, but I think the general effect would be in the other direction,
It would be in the interests of the community, if not of justice, the Archbishop declared, that reports of murder cases should be restricted in the same way aa re- ports of divorce cases.
