WOMEN AND PEACE.

MISS RUTH ATKINSON 7 OX PARIS DELEGATION. (By Our Lady Correspondent.) LONDON, February 25. The Feminist cause htiti made a real step forward. The mission to Paris, on which Mrs. Kawcctt. the veteran British j Suffragist, and Miss Ruth Atkinson were sent, has obtained the support, wholehearted, of Mr. Wilson and Mr. Ma.ssey, less fully of M. Clemenceau, for the inclusion of women in some odicial way at the. Peace Conference. President Wilson, before leaving Paris, agreed to move at the Peace Conference: — "That v special Commission of the. Plenipotentiaries of the Peace Congress should be established to consider women's international questions, anfl that to it should be added a commission of women, .-elected by societies represented at the Super-Allied Conference of Women's .Snllrage Societies in consultation with other women's orpuiisations.' , Mr. I.loyd George is a supporter of women's suffrage, so, with the three leading Powers on their side, Feminist- may well be hopeful. ! It is of interest to examine the Trench Premier's viewpoint. "Aβ a matter or principle," he said, "it is impossible, not to grant women the same rights as men." Hut when it came to practice, he. was only prepared—an far as the Conference was concerned —to propose that, women should be placed on such Commissions of the C'onferen h might deal with questions speeilically devoted to the intere.-ts of women and children. It is to the Feminist nothing short ot extraordinary that the Krendi Premier having enunciated the principle of wo men's rights,-houhl stop short there. It is perhaps wonunVi ""n fault. She doenot assert herxelf sullit-icnt.ly. but she in learning her lesson. We -hall see what this latest -elf-as-crtiMU achieves. Many New Zealanler- who have been in the (lid Country and know the Lyceum Cl'ib here, will bo interested to know thnt Mn=. Kawcett and MifW Atkinson were welcomed to Paris hy the Lvccum Club there--n beautiful old Flench house, not fir from the British Embassy. The Parisian 1.y.-eum Cluh held a "reception at which the two lint i-h drW-ntcs were introduced to their Krench—"eonfreres, -, can v.c call them. rather?—sisters, and numbers ..f American Suffragists now present in Paris. As was. to be pxpi-.-tefl in «u.h an nsM-mbly, the special Feminist bubjevti were , under discussion.
