View of Integrity Centre
Sir, — It seems that anything in the nature of a return- to integrity is doomed to failure through lack of effort to restore some semblance of the moral fibre which was the foundation on which empires once grew and flourished. An example of the small acts by which integrity is undermined occurred last week when a copy of “The Press” was, by means unknown to me, removed from the front gate before I could take possession. Depriving a widow of the only week-end recreation available, typifies the depths to which our society has sunk. The Roman Catholic Archbishop gives warning of a “mighty thrust of evil in our times such as wicked economic exploitation, violent suppression of civil rights, and mindless slaughter.” He emphasised that the breakdown of moral values and contempt for life bred corruption everywhere. -— Yours, etc.,
L. E. REID February 22 ,1978.
