LORD DAWSON ON BIRTH CONTROL.

For the first time, the rather unusual subject of birth control was debated before a conspicuously crowded house at Cam- bridge Union. The motion before the un- dergraduates was: La the opinion af this house the wider application of birth control would constitute a major remedy of the social evil of today." Lord Daw- eam of Penn and the Bishop of "Exeter (Lord William Gascorns Cecil) were the visiting speakers, respectively supporting But opposing the prapoent

Lord Dawson said he did not regard birth control as the whole of social reform. but simply an ingredient in it. Because birth control happens to be more rife amongst the better classes to-day," he con- tinued, "that does not mean that it will not pentrate to all classes to-morrow, There is ample evidence that birth control is rapidly spreading among the more educ ated artisans Birth control does not "unproductive marriages, but

regu- lation of the size of families and their distribution. The latter consideration i of great importance in its bearing on the whee being of married people, Women who have children at suitable intervals proeve better health than thow who will not or cannot, but birth should be a matter of choice and not chance." Birth control was widely practied to lay, and was accepted amongst their better citizens, so people must not talk too glibly of birth control as

as degrading or damaging to thos who used it. Is it not better to limit

population by limiting birth than weeding

it out by death." asked Lord Dawson. He admitted that selfish people with unworthy ambition of people so short-sighted as not to want children might use birth control for unworthy purposes. But the abuse of thing was never an argument against its proper use..

CHURCH SERVICE AND MARRIAGE. In its relation to early marriages, Lord Dawson declared that there existed strong argument for birth control. An impuls as strong as that of sex, un there was a natural outlet, would en river overflow its bank, and track out a course for itself less desirably and les beneficial to the community. How could straightforward and conscientious young married people face marriage in the

of coabomic pressure without any. security that they could control the output of their family? That birth con trol was contrary to nature was the inst ditch of argument. The whole of civilis ation demanded the chaining of
