RACE SUICIDE.
For example, there is that insidious and detestable incitement to race suicide—the “without encumbrance” advertisement, At the very time that' the Australian Presbyterian Assembly were issuing their pastoral letter the following advertisement was appealing in the Christchurch “Press”, of date September 29:—“AVanted for WAV. C.A., 135 Madras street, competent working housekeeper, no child.—Apply Secretary.” A\ r e need hardly explain that “Y.AV.C.A.” stands for Young Women’s Christian Association. Advertisements of this class, especially those in connection with married couples for stations, inserted by rich and sometimes pious squatters, are becoming so common as to be almost typical. Such advertisements are in reality far more deadly and reprehensible than the mere thoretical advocacy of Malthusianism which tli-e Victorian deputationists asked their Premier to prohibit.—New Zealand “Tablet.”
