that while he has not had too much reaction to his suggestions regarding the dissemination of birth control information he had received 25 letters in direct resp onse to his comments on divor ce- the letters came from many parts of canada- and ai far as vancouver and calgary itis interesting to note that not one of these letters has dis sented from my stand and- all have been in agreement with it
