BIRTH CONTROL
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—In answer to my question : Who would "deprive lawfully married citizens from having a child to succeed them ? " Bishop Welldon unhesitatingly answers—" the State.". Birth Control i y the State! Birth Control as a National Policy ! That is a tremendous proposal. I respectfully suggest to Bishop Welldon that the State control of conception would mean a revolution. State interference has already long passed tolerable limits in religion and social life. The insolent might of the State has already crushed individuality and self-reliance out of half our race. It were better to have a nation half imbeciles, left alone to swim or sink, than a nation conceived to order, bred and fed, protected and provided for from cradle to grave by the soul-destroying omnipotence of the State.—I
Hasernemouth.
