nation in order to produce and TO interchange
material assets and the war becomes, there
fore, an obstacle TO life even for the victor.
Wrong thought concerning women has now
received the same sort OF crack. The number
of men is increasing who understand that the
talk about "woman's mission" is antiquated,
since the women have during the war become
power in national economy as we'll as a social
power OF much greater Importance than ever
before. The women have been compelled 10
enter upon many masculine occupations; they
have even had to produce the means of de-
struction for the war when the men have had
to leave that work in order to go to the
trenches.

A MIGHTY SOCIAL FORCE.

1t has become nonsensical to ask if it is suit
able for woman 10 do the work she is already
doing as working part of the social machin-
cry. AS result an ever-increasing number OF
modern thinking men ask themselves If this
new, mighty social force can be left without
political rights and without political response
bities And they are beginning to answer the
question in the negative. The problem will at
last assume the form OF a conviction that
women must get entranchised and become
eligible for Office 1t is evident that there is a
great social danger in the fact that there are
members of the community free from response
bility in the inner and foreign politics of the
State, and such responsibility can only be
placed upon individuals by giving them full
citizenship.

the same sons later on. because Of practical
politics" or patriotic" reasons, have to support
the ubiquitous commercial or belligcrent poll
tics of their country
The phase are now living through has
opened wide possibilities for increasing wom-
ans power. Specifically Just the opposite
seems to have taken place. Since the time when
the women of the defeated party were taken
as war booty. women as such have never been
less respected. Millions of women have been
killed or raped, hunted out of their homes and
their countries, or have been made invads or
insane for the rest of their lives. The sacred
ness" of womanhood, of the mother OF the gem
Grafton, as enunciated by men, will hold good
only about the women of their countries.
And as to these the men do not count the tears
they are shedding over their fathers, husbands,
sons or brothers who were killed or returned
as invalids when they obstinately continue the
war
But all these experiences are rousing the
women to a realization of the fact that all the
beautiful words about the sacredncss Of moth
erhood are only meant to deceive them thor
oughly. These words will become real only
when women will arrange their lives In &C
cordance with the new science which the Aus
TRAN sociologist, r. Goldscheid, has called
human economy, and which Is analogous TO
national economy One of its first requirements
is that women should refuse to bear great
masses of children TO become the innumerable
victims Of war Secondly, that they should try
20 raise the human material to higher level
both physically and spiritually and to keep it
on that level, and finally that they should con-
sciously counterfeit the state of war.

CAN PREVENT WASTE.

Women can do this even now by influencing
public opinion. But only when they have OBJ
tanned the vote can they carry out the prin-
ciples ot human economy In all departments
where human strength Is displayed. Then can
they work against the waste OF human Nengs
in all its forms; above all, against the instinct
Of rapacity within country and the warfare
between countries. Both of these phenomena
are the worst sins against tho principles OF
human economy, and both are supposed to be
committed for the benefit Of the State. Some
classes are used to produce the wealth OF the
nation" others are slaughtered for the welfare
OF the country" The fact that these human
beings who are thus impoverished and slaugh-
tered are themselves the wealth and welfare OF
the country is the highest truth, which will
become clear to the people only when the point
of view OF human economy is accepted
The other half of mankind-the women
have without their will and by no fault OF
theirs been thrown into the misery Of the
world-war BY grandiose relief work in all
departments they have tried to assuage the
misery. They have by great personal effort
tried to work not only for peace, but peace
that really means peace. The representatives
OF the belligerent nations have shown
breadth Of view and generosity which tar
surpassed the men of the same countries. But
