It appears to me very much of a face-saving
device, and if advice on birth control is to
be given at the Centre, then I do not see why
it should not be advertised. The activities
of the League generally raise larger questions
which are to some extent a matter of personal
sympathy, and if I may venture to say so, my
own opinion is in agreement with Sir G.
Northcote, that the League's efforts can do
little but good in the present conditions.
The issue of an advertisement by the
League from the Centre appears to me to differ
essentially from the use of the Secretariat
Office as an address for receiving communications
on behalf of the League, and I suggest that we
should reply accordingly and say that we see
no objection to the issue of the entire
advertisement.
