U.S. WOMEN INFURIATED ALHAMBRA

By A Special Reporter

London, June 28.

AMERICAN travel agent Clara Elizabeth Laughlin

So indignant is she that she left her breakfast at Grosvenor] House yesterday to lecture me on the iniquities of "vergers who think Americans are hardly civilised."

On the whole Mr. Herbert had cause to be pleased. The Archbishop of Canterbury agreed that there were many "meritorious clauses" in the Dill, the Bishop of Durham "heartily commended" the measure, and only the Bishop of St. Albans was frankly against it.

-Among the laymen the sole whole- hearted

opponent was Viscount FitzAlan, who is a Roman Catholic.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, after Lord Eillsley had moved the second reading, was very cautious: "This BI)1 proposes timely and valuable remedies against abuses," The stated, "and for that reason I con« nat honestly vote against the second reading."

On the other hand-and here he tapped the Despatch Box solemnly- In his Judgment divorce, and certainly remarriage after divorce, were in- consistent with the principles fald down by Christ and accepted In Its own laws and formularies by the Church.

"In view, therefore, of the position I hold in the Church I cannot take the responsibility of seeming promote legislation which in some of its principal proposals is inconsistent with those principles and with that standard which the Church lays down," he said. For that reason he declined to vote on the second read- ing.

"REALITIES "

He gave "from the point of view of a lawyer'three actual instances which had come before him person. ally. They were

Speaking of Clause 1 of the Bill, which proposes that there shall be no divorce within the first five years of marriage, he said that, to film, the clause was reactionary in the extreme, as many of the worst cases meriting divorce occurred in there years.

Looking across at the Bishops he added: "It is Intolerable that a low should be passed preventing such people getting relief."

"SENTIMENTALITY "

The Bishop of St. Albans believed By A Special Reporter
