PROBLEM OF THE UNFIT
VIEWS OF WOMEN’S GUILD STERILISATION DEMANDED. LONDON, June 12. The 1200 delegates to the annual conference of the Women’s Co-operative Guild almost unanimously agreed to demand legislation to ensure compulsory sterilisation of the unfit. Mrs Enever, of Leytonstone, said: “We must not be squeamish about the matter. Sterilisation is already much practised in the upper classes. Doctors are prepared to take the consequences. The nation’s welfare must come before religious objections.”
