...rose Dr. William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, to protest. What vexed him: the British Army has been instructing recruits in prophylaxis against venereal disease. The British Government, extending the campaign, has a regulation, the famed 33-B, calling for treatment of all persons infected with such diseases...
