Cathedral at Chicago, in notable ad-
dress to the students of the University
of Pennsylvania. asserted that the
long accepted notion that 1t is wise
for cities to have segregated and
protected area for the social evil is
nothing less than a hideous farce. He
said that vice as commerce exists
because of the liquor trade, the starv-
ing wages paid to women. the double
standard of morality and the greed
for wealth. He insisted that the vice
problem is man problem, rather than
woman problem; that both the sup
ply and the demand for the house OF
