SAID TO BE OF UNSOUND MIND
SWEEPING STATEMENT BY DEAN
INGE.
(UNITED PRESa ASSOCIATION.—COPYRIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received 17th January, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, 16th January. The Very Rev. AY. D. Inge, Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral, lecturing in London, said that a doctor had diagnosed nearly nil of Russia's Red leaders as of misound mind, the majority diseased by the use of alcoholics and many as addicted to drugs. Russia would soon become a State of peasantry governed by military tyranny under "another name. He thought Russia's leaders were reallysuffering from contagious moral insanity. If, as many believe, this is a poison which is actually contagions, it would be justifiable to kill those infected, as would be done if they were mad dogs, unless we preferred' the more expensive and much less safe way of imprisonment. We cannot allow moral poisons to be scattered broadcast or to allow fanatical minorities to conspire against the,community.-
