It is uncomfortable to be constantly faced with the challenge of absolute moral standards, if you are determined not to live them. It is even more uncomfortable to be brought face to face with the realisation that moral standards are no longer a question of private conduct but of national con- sequence.

I also saw Peter Howard's play The Ladder. Mr. Gascoigne considers it naIreh. to present the Devil in the recognisable forms in which he assails us humans! It is a most thought-provoking play and thank God for its fearless challenge.
