BIRTH CONTROL
NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE
LONDON, December 4
■Sir Thomas Border, the noted physician, told the Birth Control Association that the time wa, s overdue when birth control should be among, the nation’s health services. “It is quite practicable to give instruction ' on' contraception under the aegis of the Ministry of Health,” he “thus linking economic and sOcku welfare problems.” The Countess of Limerick i=aid that the birth-rate statistics proved that contraception was already a part of civilisation, and would surely abortion, which was dangerous to life and health. Control of births would also improve the appalling slums and the mental .and physical degeneration which existed in large cities. Lady Denman who emphasised *h’t industry in the future could not absorb a huge population, said that it was little short of madness to withhold from the poor knowledge, which the rich could obtain.
