building Of a feet of tank steamers TO
carry Mexican oil to England.

American concerned, and his death put
a temporary stop to the negotiations,

abandoned

pose Of this group Of suffrage sup
porters.
Il can't see much hope Of women
getting the vote in England. The
Liberal government can't grant the
vote. as it would he to sacrifice their
position | hope for little from the Con-
servatives."
Miss Hay said she thought the Con-
servatives. if they came to power,
might grant the vote. rot from a con-
scientious motive but for a popular
play. Mrs Gait continued:
mo, | don't think so. | do think
that il Lloyd George were Prime
Minister he would give women the vote.
as he is a vain man and the deed would
make him the popular idol. what he
desires. The Unionist members | have

do not seem to have any conference in
their views"
Miss Hay said New York State was
obliged TO face the suffrage issue in
1915. either through new legislation
or the constitutional convention if it
should be called.
1T strikes me" she sad. the curious
thing in England is that so. many
American women come here who were

through curiosity go to some militant
meeting and on learning not only the
manner in which the government treats
women and the fact that woman has
no rights whatsoever in this country.
and on hearing the infiammatory
speeches, become almost fanatical on
the subject and having embraced
