BR|TONS PROMISE
WOMEN FRANCHISE
PLEDGE TENTATIVELY GIVEN BY
BRITISH PREMIER IN SPEECH
BEFORE COMMONS.
Threat Of Women to Refuse TO Recog
nIze Any Change in Franchise In
Favor OF Fighting Men Has
Its Effect.

London The decision OF the cabi.
net that the undertaking of new fran.
chise and registration reforms in the
midst OF great war was too complex
and controversial problem was an.
nounced by Premier Asqulth in the
house of commons on Monday. At o
time, said the premier, when the wal
had reached a happy, promising stage
and when II more than ever required
the absolute concentration of the gov.
eminent 1t was impossible TO consider
the large questions involved In re
vision of the franchise. He further
implied that any new bill for fran
chise reforms in the future must OF
necessity include women.
After brief criticism by Sir Ed.
ward Carson, who urged that every
combatant, irrespective OF age. was
entitled to vote and contended there
was no reason why the women's
claims should stand in the way OF
giving all combatants a vote, the house
passed the first reading Of the bill ex
tending the life Of the present parlia
ment for eight months. A separate
bill bringing into force a new regis
ter on the basis OF present qualihca
lions on May II next will be intro.
duced In the house.
There is no doubt that one of the
main reasons for the government
avoidance of the franchise problem
was the threat of the women THAI
they would refuse to recognize any
change In the franchise in favor OF
fighting mep which failed at the same
time to recognize women's rights &c
the franchise
