THIS PERIOD OF LICENSE.”
,United Press Ass-,ciali--n—By Electric TelegruptCopyright.) (Australian Press Association.)
LONDON, Oct. 14. Dean luge, preaching at- the University of Cambridge, uttered a striking indictment of what be described as “this period of license.” He said adultery might be the pastime of the rich, buff the very idea ought no more to occur to their minds than the idea of foi'ging a cheque. Imaginative literature was now deeply corrupted, continued the “gloomy Dean.” This was prostitution of literature. The world was in a period wherein the principles which had held society together since the dawn of history were too often set aside as irrational taboos.
“Yet listen to this instruction by an American editor to his authors,” said the Dean: ‘Here is a man and his wife and another man; write about them; let the shadow of the bed he on every page, hut you need never let it appear.’ ”
