WOMEN AND POLITICS
INCREASED ACTIVITIES FORMER MINISTER'S VIEWS LONDON. May 7 " I do not know what men do with their time. Maybe they stop at homo, nurse the baby, and prepare the supper for their wives returning from political meetings. Anyhow, I knowthere is less activity on the malo side of our organisations, which is more than compensated for by the increased activities of the women's organisations." Thus Sir Austen Chamberlain, formerly Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, when opening a Unionist Fair at Birmingham. " Formerly I was opposed to women's suffrage, recognising that woman does not need the vote to get her own way," added Sir Austen. " I confess now that the evil' consequences I apprehended have not followed."
