BROKEN MARRIAGES
PRIMATE ADVOCATES ADVICE CENTRES Recd. 6 p.m. London, July 16. Addressing the Canterbury Diocesan conference, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Fisher, urged the establ.shment throughout the nation of advice centres to help restore families broken up by war. He said that the centres would be able to call on clergy, doctors, psychologists, and lawyers, and would be financed by public money. The Primate said that the whole community must regard as a crime anything which cheapened marriage or its obligations. Long separations under unnatural conditions put a great strain on men abroad and on their wives at home. Even marriages which were firmly established were exposed to danger of misunderstandings and suspicion of infidelites. Many hast} wartime marriages had no chance to become established. The bureaux would not be confined only to service men and women; many civilians were also subjected to influences and distractions under war conditions which normally they would not have had to face.
