The Ethics of Gambling
In its issue of January 20th The Spectator offered a prize of £10 10s. for the best article of 1,200 words on the ethical aspect of gambling. To select from some sixty articles received the half-dozen best, and then to choose the final winner from the writers of the half- -dozen has been by no means easy, but the prize has ultimately been awarded to Mr. Raymond C. Rowse, Mary Ward House, 86 Tavistoek Place, W.C. 1, who has confined himself strictly to the ethical side of the question and studiously avoided platitudes and common- places. Mr. Rowse's article will be printed, under the title "The Ethical Case Against Gambling," in The Spectator of March 3rd, as the second of a Pro and Con pair, the first article of the pair, " In Defence of Betting," appearing next week, February 24th,
