Science Loses VA
Suit With RELIGION

Berlin. Germany. Aug. 2.-Science
and religion have come into conflict in
the Berlin suburb OF Steglitz-
Dr. Goldstein. a general practf-
toner OF SteElitz. delivered some time
ago sensational lecture on the limi-
tatiou OF families.
The surplus population of Germany,
he maintained. was the main cause
OF the war. Germany had far too
many people for her natural re-
sources.
Every woman. he urged. who had
brought three living children into the
world should have the right to re-
fuse or avoid having more.
A local parson named Weymann IS
sued a vigorous attack on Goldstein
from the church standpoint
He said Goldstein was advocating
sexual Bolshevism and the destruc-
ton OF the strength OF the nation"
Dr. Goldstein brought a libel suit
but gained only nominal damages.
Both parties took the case TO the
higher court, and the court OF appeals
reversed the former decision
