TRAFFICKING IN VICE
REPRESSIVE LEGISLATION URGED DAME EDITH LYTTELTON’S VIEWS. Press Association—By Telegi-3.pl)—Copyright GENEVA, September 16. (Received September 17, at 10.30 a.m.) “ I would like to kill men guilty of assaulting children,” declared Dame Edith Lyttelton impassionately before tho committee discussing social vice. “ It is a disgrace that Britain punished them less than forgers and thieves. The age of consent should bo raised, licensed houses abolished, the position of women improved, and more policemen employed.” Even the most degraded women, Dame Lyttelton added, were intimidated by the presence of policewomen patrols. “No words arc strong enough to denounce the profiteers-in vice, and tiiere is no length to which traffickers in human flesh will not go.” She hoped that the 1928 Assembly would recommend the strongest repressive legislation.—A. and N.Z. and ‘ Sun ’ Cable.
