The address on " Love, Marriage, and Birth Control "

by Lord Dawson, the well-known physician, to the Church Con- gress at Birmingham on Tuesday last was printed in full in the Evening Standard of Wednesday. It was wise, bold, and humane in the highest sense of that word. The speech was also timely, the place well chosen, and the manner plain and authori- tative, without being either crude or unduly pathological. The address should be read as a whole. An attempt at a detailed summary might destroy the careful balance which is essential to Lord Dawson's purpose.
