I think the attitude of the Brit Ish parliament in taking up the question of pardoning the unwed- ded mothers is simply a soft-ped aled method of encouraging immor- ality by the degeneration of a de caying aristocracy for the purpose of producing more cannon food with which to bolster up the totter: ing, decaying system of capitalism. | In the name of decency, why can they not keep still until the cause of the hysteria or emotionalism is }ended, and thereby not encourage the other poor, deluded girls to sac- rifice their honor, purity and wom- anhood?
