letter made public hero today, Qcorgo

In civilisation."
Shaw declared that this statement
had. been called forth because ot the
frightful existing conditions ot child

Ho ridicules tho "freedom" that ex
Ists In a land whero these conditions
aro possible Tho letter states that
tho writer Is nwaro that similar con
dltlons exist in othor countries. Ho

May I etato that If tho moro de
cent Americans would set about tho
work ot freeing theso children In
stead ot discussing whether my opin
ions are fair to them, I should have a
much higher Idea ot their good
sense?"
