EPSTEIN'S SCULPTURE
REFERENCE IN PARLIAMENT LONDON, March 11. In the House of Commons, Sir A. Cooper Rawson (Con.), referring to Mr Epstein's recent sculpture, asked whether, in view of the resentment created among the people of different denomination*) due to the statue, which offended public decency, the Home Secretary, under his powers to prevent blasphemous and obscene exhibitions, would instruct the police to remove or confiscate the statue or take steps to guard against a breach of the peace which might be provoked. Sir John Gilmour said: "I have no information leading me to suppose that any action is necessary."
