TRAFFIC IN VICE
THEATRE PLAYS PART
SALVATION ARMY'S AID
(United Press Association.—Copyright.) LONDON, 11th March. Mrs. Bramwell Booth offers' the Salvation Army's assistance to the League of Nations to suppress traffic in vice. She points out that, the Army promoted a Bill raising the age of consent for girls accepting theatrical engagements 'which should greatly help the movement. If the age were fixed at twenty it should not be excessive, because sixteen-year-old girls were usually children in such matters.
Mrs. Booth added that the Salvation Army's representative in Japan vainly sought -r>ermission to address an international convention of keepers of'disorderly houses held in Tokio in 1926.
