WOMAN SUFFRAGE AND TARIFF FOR
 GREAT BRITAIN
Minister of Labor of Lloyd George Cabinet Predicts
 Change After War.

Correspondence Associated Press)
 London, Jan. 2S-Woman suffrage and the protective tariff are two of the more important reforms that John Hodge, minister of labor in the Lloyd George cabinet, believes will come in- to effect immediately after the war. lie made this statement in discussing the demObiliZatiOn scheme with which his department is largely occupied at present--a scheme for taking care of. and providing with employment, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who must be discharged from the army and thrust back into civilian life as rapidly as possible after the conclu- sion of peace.
 Our women have done we'll in the war, and when peace comes they will surely get their reward in having the franchise extended to them" said MT. Hodge.
 zation scheme. The policy I have mapped out will more than double the number of labor exchanges. Each discharged soldier will get at least 9 months furlough and the separation allowance continued to his wife. With whole-hearted cooperation of em- ployers and workers, the task of de- mobilization will be comparatively ] easy one. As l have to handle the problem whenever peace may come, l mean to have the machinery ready. "The country has the nucleus of this machinery in the labor ex- changes. One of the first things l
 did was to call the heads of the staff of the exchanges together in order to impress upon them the necessity o1 dealing in sympathetic manner with the men who return from war. Jhere must be no wooden images behind the counters of the exchanges, and assist ance must be given to applicants not as though comforting favor, put III way which will demonstrate that It IS a pleasure and not burden to help' l "I shall impress upon the prime minister that in this transition period between war and peace. something equally good must be donc for the ln- dustrial warrior as is proposed for the demobilized soldier. The demobl- lization itself will, l am convinced go with a swing"
 | CO lAC AuSSeAOAA S- MT. Hodge declared his acceptance ol a policy of "closed door, in trade as against the transitional 'open door.
 He explained
 Previous to the war we though'' free trade meant the prevention o1 war. that so long as we had the open door Germany would never risk the loss of her trade by indulging in war We wanted cheap commodities, but the war has dropped the scales rom our eyes.
 "Three million tons of steel were coming yearly into this country iron Germany I want to see no more ter man steel in this country while there is an idle furnace in this country When every furnace here is occupied then I might let little bit in.
 "How silly we were in the past te have an open door as against closed door. think we want to give then tit for tat in the future. It used tc ||be said that no trade union leader be- lieved in policy of that kind. we cannot say that today. Australia IS a protected country. and the standard of living there is the highest Tn the world. So-called tariff reform or pro lection does not mean the lowering o; the standard of life!"
