DEAN INGE
DENOUNCES MODERN SOCIETY. United Press Association. —By Electrn Telegrapn .---Copyright. > LONDON, Oct. 14. Dean Inge; sneaking at the University of Cambridge, uttered a striking indictment of-what-he described as “this period of .license.” He said: “Adultery might be the pastime of the rich, hut the very-Idea ought no mote to occur to • their ■ niktds than the’idea of forging a cheque. Our imaginative literature was now deeply corrupted: inis was the prostitution of a ; literature. We ivefe now in a period wherein the principles which had held society together" since the dawn of history were too often'-‘set aside as irrational taboos. ■
He continued: “Yet listen to this instruction by an ■ American" editor to his authors: ‘Here is a 'tnan and’ his wife and another man. Write about them! Let the shadow of the bed lie on every page, but you need never let it appear! ’ ”
