WOMEN IN BUSINESS
A BARONET’S VIEWS. HANDICAP TO YOUNG MEN. (Rec. 9 p.m.) London, June 8. I am against girls and young women going to business. I have not one girl working in my office. I have not had. one and will not have one,” declared Sir .Abe Bailey at the British Empire Service League. Elaborating his views later he said that girls handicap young men. They take jobs at threecjuarters of the proper rates of pay and keep men workless. Yet, we expect boys and mien to fight the battle of life. To do it we 3 with all these women in business is impossible. It is all wrong. There should not be a single girl in any office. The interviewer asked if he approved of women as aviators in view of die fact that his wife is one of the most intrepid women fliers. Sir Abe Bailey said, “Flying is a man’s job. Women ought not to tackle it.” “Perhaps Lady Bailey thinks you would not fly yourself,” suggested the interviewer. Sir Abe Bailey replied, *tShe is quite right if she does. I am not brave enough. However, as far as I am concerned, men as home-getters should have a chance.” A. and N.Z.
