rAnis. Sept. l2-Mrs. Emmeline Pank-
hurst. the militant suffra gette leader. who
In staying at n quiet little hotel here
where the cost OF her room and board
does not exceed 81 day. said to-day
she was not disturbed over the reports
that she may be barred from entering
the United States. She said: II visited
the United States twice before. the last
time two years ago. and have only the
kindliest recoliections Of the courtesy and
cordiality which I met there
TIE SrN correspondent suggested that
Ellis Island should not present any ter
rors to her after her prison experiences.
To this Mrs. Pankhurst replied: II
assure you that I have no liking for dis
comforts. but believe the American au-
thorities will coincide with the Canadian
immigration Official who reported that
| have not been guilty Of any act OF
moral turpitude, but am not anticipating
trouble in this connection.
II am booked to sail on La Provence
on October II. l shall speak twice soon
after my arrival in America and once
more toward the end Of November before
l return to England, where l must be
early In December, as have a number
of engagements to MI. shall visit as
many American centres as possible. l am
sorry that my time IL too short to per-
init visit to the Western States"
Won't Talk Militancy Here.
Replying 10 a question In regard to the
purpose Of her visit, Mrs. Pankhurst made
u clear that her object was not to talk Of
the miiitancy propaganda. She said:
II intend to describe and explain the
position and aims of our movement in or
der that American women may understand
what We are ddtng and why. and where
we stand. They cannot learn that from
the English newspapers. which. as IL by a
preconcerted agreement. limit their re-
ports to militancy only, passing over all
our other work. ignoring our crowded
meetings like those which are held every
week at the LOudnn Pavilion. never re-
porting the speeches made by men like
Israel Zanswill ana never recognizing
our work on the two great questions OF
the day. white slavery and contagious
diseases want to describe all this work
In America.
~ am not going over with the object
OF aiding American women in their move
ment Their progress is steady enough
and they do not need any imported aid
I naturally hope that my presence In
America will assist their movement as
there undoubtedly will be curiosity to see
and hear a woman who ia so-what shall
