MR. ZANGWILL ON PRO-CONSULS.
Speaking on "Old Fogeys and Old Bogeys" at tht weekly "At Home" of the Women's Social and Political Union on Monday, Mr. Israel Zangwill said that his observation of life was that the wife was the real head of the house, and that man's true place in the home was that of a paying guest. The intellect of England went home solid for women's suffrage. Against this phalanx of intellectuality the rearguard of reaction had been hastily brought up by men like Lord Cromer, Lord Curzon, and Lord Milner. This trio was significant. A new danger had crept into British politics. These great pro-consuls had governed blacks ; they bad come back here with their autocratic notions and their disdain of the masses to infect our British freedom with their unconstitutional outlook. These great pro-consul 6, despite their brilliant records abroad, might easily become a force for evil at home. Lord Cromer had lost touch with Western civilisation, and was ignorant of the new and splendid spirit of womanhood that had been growipg up in these islands.
