SEXUAL REFORM
CONFERENCE STATEMENTS. (United Prase Association—By Electric Teleg. ~ph—Copyright). (Received this day at 10.30. a.m.) LONDON, Sept. 9. A divorce by mutual consent, was the proposal with which Geike Cobb, a leader of sexual reform, stated at the Conference. He declared divorce should be dependent upon the unfettered will of married people, like the old Romans, and the State should respect such dissolution. Other delegates, including Capt. George Pitt Rivers, demanded greater freedom. A Russian delegate, Professor Officeski, pointed out that the Soviet marriage law enabled a dissolution of marriage by mutual consent. Marriage was purely a private affair. There were no illegitimates in Russia.
