ARCHBISHOP ON BIRTH CONTROL.

NOT SINFUL IN ALL CASES.

DR. MARIE STOPES DENOUNCED..

A cautious attitude on the question of birth control was advised by the Arch- bishop of Canterbury, in a letter made public recently. Although he regards the activities of the group led by Dr. Marie Stopes as "a dangerous and harmful element in our social life," he refuses to denounce all and every method of birth control.

Hia letter is addressed to Miss Newill," central organiser of the Archbishop Advisory Board for Preventive and Rescue Work. It is as follows:-

I have before me the statement which the Mothers' Union is, as I understand, about to issue, not as a definite regula-H tion' binding on its members, but as a Hongkows corporate expression of its view as to the New Engineerings. principles which ought to be followed. 8. Hotels

Shanghai Docks One paragraph of the statement runs as follows:-

Mothers' Union.

✓

The Mothers' Union holds that as for all normal married "persoas it is a duty and an honour to accept God's gift of a family, so a selfish refusal of children is wrong. The Mothers' Union desires to lead its members to à careful and rever- ent study of the Christian principles governing the relation of the sexes, and to warn them that it is in the light of these principles only that the subject of birth control, with all" its implications, can rightly he regarded. The Mothers

Union affirms that the ideal for Christian men and women in this matter is self- control, and urges the vital need of the training of the rising generation in self- discipline of the body, mind, and spirit.

"This statement seems to me to be ex: cellent, both in form and matter, and I am glad to emphasise the need of our taking a stand against mischievous modes of propaganda of birth control in State aided clinics."
