...them religion has been the most reluctant to admit the wisdom of control. The sacred writings of all religions make specific injunctions for generation, impugn sterility. The barren woman must hang her head; the fertile woman is praised, yet not glorified. Her labour is not pitied. However, the Protestant churches have begun to examine the problem. High prelates of the Church of England have advocated control. The Protestant Episcopal Church, at their San Francisco general conference last June listened to sane expositions (TIME July 4). Their viewpoint is, of course, ethical. They would balance a moral equation-their dogmatic injunctions...

However, it is known that disatisfaction in that country is such that all the opposition parties are only too glad to hang their hats on the Carplist peg in order to oust Prime Minister Bratiano and what they call his corrupt regime.

He therefore attempted to dissuade the conspiring generals?Gomez and Serrano?hoping...
...International Polo matches. The Association urged 500 notables to visit the studio of Artist Koch at No. 127 Fulton Ave., Hempstead, L. I. Of the 500, one came to the studio. It became obvious to Artist Koch that in the U. S., unlike Europe where his works hang in museums, where artists speak of him almost with reverence, where an invitation to his studio make its bearer glad, he was unknown. In the white cottage in Hempstead he painted polo ponies and portraits of their owners brilliantly, surely, with a perfection born of complete knowledge. Last week art critics...
