Council of Women Leaders
See Whole World Also Men,
aced by Many Divorces
By FRED ]. WALKER

II
Birth control and divorce today
were termed "the two greatest
problems facing the world" by
foreign delegates to the quin-
quennial convention of the Inter
national Council of Women here.
Religion and the education Of
children to regard marriage and
the rearing Of families as solemn
duties owed the nation by its citi-
zens were offered as solutions OF
the problems"
Divorce is particularly a prob
lem for the United States, these
delegates unhesitatingly declared.
Price of Civilization.
Mrs. George Morgan, of Great
Britain, declaring both problems"
were the price the world must pay
for its civilization, advocated less
divorce and modified birth control.
Intelligent couples should have
more children, and the lower classes
should have less, speaking general
ly," she said.
"Selflshness is mainly at the bot
tom OF birth control today. 1t is
a problem the world over, OF course.
and affects certain countries more
than others. The higher classes in
the United States are having fewer
children and divorce here is far
more prevalent than in any other
land.
Young couples would rather en-
10Y life. Rearing of families Is fol.
lowed by a certain loss OF indie.
pendence which many dislike.
Then the universal housing
shortage is another factor influenc-
ing the average middle class couple.
Rents are so high that children are
not wanted"
Mrs Morgan said that as nations
become civilized, living conditions
are so improved that large families
become unnecessary for the pre-
servation of the race.
''As man becomes highly intelli-
gent, he needs fewer children. II
the race is to be preserved, than
his primitive ancestors" she said.
Modern science is able to save
many who years ago would have
surely died."
Mrs. Morgan advocated birth con-
troll among lower mental classes
and large families in intellectual
circles.
Mrs. Willoughby Cummings, Ca
madam delegate, assailed divorce as
wrong except in extremely I'M
usual cases." and favored world
wide laws which would make 1t
more difficult to have a marriage
legally broken.
Menace to Nation.
Taking up the cudgels against
both divorce and birth control in
any form, Mile. Josephine Szebeko,
president Of the Polish delegation
and a member of the Polish senate,
said that the sooner both were
wiped out the better off the word
would be-"
POLAND is not seriously affected
by either for religious reasons, but
the rest of the world might well
take measures to stamp them out
If civilization is to progress" she
said.
THE family is the backbone OF
every nation and where family ties
are easily severed, the country can
not long endure. We have the fall
of Rome and Greece as undisputed
evidence on that point"
