MORAL INSANITY
RUSSIA’S RED LEADERS London, January 16. Tho Very Rev. W. D. Inge, Dean of St. .'Paul’s Cathedral, lecturing in London, said that a doctor had diagnosed neatly all of Russia’s Led leaders as of unsound mind,-the majority diseased by the use of alcoholics and many as addicted to drugs. Russia would soon become a State of peasantry governed by military tyranny under another name. He thought Russia’s leaders were really suffering from contagious moral insanity. “If, as many believe, this is a poison which is actually .contagious,” ho said, “it would be justifiable to kill those infected, as would be done if they were mad dogs, unless we preferred the more expensive and much -less safe way of imprisonment. We cannot allow moral poisons to be scattered broadcast or to allow fanatical minorities to conspire against the community.”—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
