secretary suggests that I am confusing what his society advocates with
something else. As a matter of fact, the whole question of birth
control has been discussed more than once by medical bodies. A doctor
who attended one such discussion shortly after the opening of the
clinic in Holloway told me that, while there was division of opinion on

actively mischievous. The subject is controversial, and I profess to do
no more than record such opinions as are current."

can do so more easily when women are ailing with incessant pregnancies
