[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] Sia,—I should like to
ask Lord Buckmaster one question. If his so-called remedies for hard cases become law, what guarantee can he give us that England will not follow the example of America, where the same experiment has been tried resulting in one. divorce in *vow eight marriages, The fact is that the state of America shows that the pro- posals in question contain no definite principles and therefore have no end. Marriage is not a mere temporary contract, in which only the parties are concerned, but it is the unit on which the fabric of our social order has been built and its corner stone is Christ. Divorce on any ground logically results in a state of free love. America proves this assertion to be fact and not a mere surmise.—I am, Sir, &c., H. E. Tenon. Connaught House, 8 and 9 Montague Street, Russell Square, W.C. 1.
