ADMIRABLE WOMEN
EXEMPLARY MASS MEETING.
(ACSTRAUAN-NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) '■'■-- LONDON, 23rd November. The most novel meeting of the day was: a masß meeting of women in the Drury Lane Theatre, where 'the stalls, circles, and gallery were crowded to hear Mr. Neville Chamberlain. The women • listened with exemplary concentration, to Mir. Chamberlain's justifica-tion-of the Conservative slogan: "Keep the Home Fires Burning." Continual murmurs of subdued "Hear, hears" sug. geited that women v.oters are fully capable of following a complicated political argument. ''There is no use having the cheapest prices in the world," urged Mr. Cham, bcrlain, "if you have nothing with which to buy things. If home produce can supply the home demand, prices will not be affected by the duty. That is what differentiates wheat from manufactures."
It is noteworthy that the greatest enthusiasm among the women was aroused by a, reference to Empire. A storm of rjjplause broke out when Mr. Chamberlain urged that Britain's whole future was bound up in the Empire.
