MARRIAGE SAID LUXURY FOR
 THE RICH
In Peru Marriage is Declared to Be a Distinct Luxury for Even the Rich, According to Commissions Report.

PANAMA, Feb. 1S-Marriage is a luxury for the rich in many parts of Latin-America, according to the report of the Commission on the Church in the Field presented today to the Con gress on Religious Work in Latin-Am- erica, which is in session here.
 Peru, in particular, and its sister Republics on the west coast of South America, are mentioned as countries where the rate of illegitimacy is ap- Dallingly high and the marriage tia but little regarded by the masses of the people
 ''The marriage institution" says the report, appears to be weaker on the west coast of South America than in any other Christian land, in the Mus sulman countries or in the societies of India. Japan and China"
 The Peruvian statistician Fuentes is quoted as saying in respect to Lima: "A shocking proportion of the people avoid marriage and live in a complete libertinage, which increases as one descends in the social scale'
 One missionary reported to the Commission that in Peru marriage is considered a luxury for the rich. Even civil marriage is costly The poor regard each as unobtainable."
 An American long resident in Boli- via reports that marriage is very rare among the lower classes of the popula- ton and that social standards are non- existent. He also says that in Colom- bia and Ecuador the high cost of church marriage. eight dollars being the rrininum fee, has added greatly to the prevalence of immortality. Most of the peons earn but few cents a day and eight dollars is a sum far be- yond their reach.
 The Commission draws gloomy pic ture of moral conditions in general in Latin-America. There is little popu- lar support" it says, in dealing with normal issues and reforms. Every thing is excused on the plea of tenn perament. precedent. or custom. The masses know nothing of an infexible and independent moral standard"
 In concluding its review the Com mission urges the missionary church es 10 greater efforts in the Latin-Am- eriean field in view of its enormous extent and the crying need of sustain ed effort to reach the great masses of the people who are still but little re- moved from barbarism.
