RACE SUICIDE
Mrs. Sanger Wants to Know
Why She Can't Oppose
7. RS Doctrine.

New York, Jan. 3l.--Mrs. Mar
garet Sanger, leading birth control
advocate. expressed no triumph over
the temporary defeat of efforts to
punish her for circulating her doc
trines. Mrs. Sanger insisted that she
was mentally prepared to go to prison
in support of her belief and share
"martyrdom" with her sister, Mrs.
Ethel Byrne, who is conducting a So
called hunger strike.
A big mass meeting here expressed
sympathy for the cause Of birth con-
troll and condemned the action Of the
authorities in prosecuting Mrs. San
ger and Mrs. Byrne.
Resolutions were adopted calling
for the repeal Of the law, which OPP
crates against the dissemination of
birth control literature and advice.
"Why is it that Mr.. Roosevelt can
90 from end to end of the land telling
the people to have large families,
while cannot tell them how not to
have them?" Mrs. Sanger asked.
last year 100000 babies in the
United States died of poverty and
want because 100000 parents were
kept in ignorance. The statement
that birth control leads to immortality
is cloak to hide the effort to keep
women in bondage. Task you is
woman ever to remain a child-bearing
machine?"
