THE JOHN GORDON SOCIETY

SIR,—In recognition of the struggle he has maintained for so many years against the insidious menace of pornography, in defence of our hearths and homes and the purity of public life, the signatories propose to form the

John Gordon Society if sufficient support is forthcoming. The main object of the Society will be to represent the ideals of Mr. Gordon in active form, in the presentation of family films, the publication of family books, and in lectures which will fearlessly attack the social evils of our time, and to form a body of competent censors, unaffected by commercial considera- tions, to examine and if necessary to condemn all offensive books, plays, films, strip cartoons, musical compositions, paintings, sculptures and ceramics.—Yours faithfully, [We will gladly forward applications.— Editor, Spectator.]
