He added that the effect of militancy had been enormous, and had converted indifference into bitter hostility. Women's suffrage was never in a worse position in Parliament. Nevertheless, he did not despair. He was glad to observe that the spirit of militancy was withering. He advised women to organise strenuously on nonmilitant lines between now and the general election. A FIASCO. i (Received 11.55 a.m.) London, October 23.
