A BIG QUESTION
BLIND M.P. PROTESTS
[United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.],
this day at 8 30. a.m.) LONDON, August 31.
“Why single out the blind,” asks Captain lan Fraser, the blind member of the Commons, interviewed regarding compulsory sterilisation of a blind couple before marriage, following committees ruling that blind persons marrying without consent and nor having marriages that are childless will be deprived of employment ana financial assistance.
Captain Fraser said there were many cases of blindness, not due to any transmissable cause. I know of over a thousand blinded soldiers, who have married since the war. There is not a single blind child from these marriages. $
if local authorities meddle- in such niatters, there is no saying where it will end.
