SEX REFORM.
LONDON, September 13. "We English are so backward in the discussion of sexual problems, and so notorious for sexual prudery and hypocrisy, that the organisation of a sexolooical conference was begun only after or eat hesitation," said Dr. Norman Haire, of Sydney, opening the third International Congress of tne World League for Sexual Reform. _ He added that after various eminent people had expressed their sympathy the list of supporters grew apace, and almost every country in the world is-now represented in the movement, which aimed at establishing sexual ethics on a scientific, biological and psychological, instead of theological, basis. The happiness of an enormous number of men and women is sacrificed to false sexual standards and to ignorance and intolerance. The World's League for Sexual Reform is not aimed at the abolition of sexual morality, but at _ the substitution of a new social ethic, added Dr. Haire.
