When Mr. Eaton made the comment on the FBI, he was only partially correct. He should have added the Roman Catholic Church and the not-so-American Legion. I'd like to see more men with power and money, like Cy Eaton, make their power felt in areas where it counts.

Religious organizations, from the Church of England Moral Welfare Council to the Roman Catholic St. Joan's Alliance, though alarmed at the number of whores on London streets (a spectacle unmatched in the U.S. or Europe), opposed the bill as likely to make prostitution more covert, and thus more professionally organized.
