(Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) Received January 29, 11 a-m. LONDON, January 28.

Mr Neville Chamberlain explains that he is now preparing a scheme to utilise women power similar to man power, but not on the same scale. Probably it will include girls of sixteen and women up to forty-eight or fifty. Mrs Ray StracUey. honorary assistant secretary of the National TJnioa of Women’s Suffrage Societies, which has placed some thousands\of women volunteers at works, urge? Mr Neville Chamberlain to establish women’s department, staffed and controlled entirely by women. She urges that under his direction such a department would ensure the proper recruitment and selection of women suited to their respective tasks. The women could also be inspected and cared for by women, and fed and housed according to their needs.
