Militancy for War
And Only for War

The Women's party grew out of the or
ganization which in pre-war days was
known as the Women's Social and Political
Union. The party is organized and led by
women who brought woman suffrage into
the arena Of practical politics by what are
described as militant methods. On the day
that Great Britain entered the war the mill
tant suffragists proclaimed complete sus-
pension Of militancy. We declared that un-
til victory was won leaders and members
of the organization would devote themselves
to patriotic work. To this promise we have
Loyalty adhered
AT the outset of the war all the other
political groups declared a truce, "adiourned
politics" in order to make possible the
coalition government of which Mr.. Lloyd
George is now the head. But the truce has
been imperfectly kept and lately it has been
definitely broken by the Labor party. / do

Great Britain The contrast should espcci-
ally interest that section Of the public
which regards the women voters as an un-
known and possibly dangerous quantity.
From the first the Socialist leaders of the
Labor party, notably Ramsay Macdonald
and Philip Snowden, opposed and hindered
the entrance of Great Britain into the war
These men, joined later by Arthur Hender-
son who has come to be their chief spokes-
nan in America, opposed almost overy cs-
sental measure for fighting the war sue
cessfully They fought conscriptlon, they
fought military training, and, inconsistently
for Socialists, it would appear, they fought
government control Of industry.
Always, and even at the present time
when the military success Of the Allied
armies gives hope of speedy victory, they
have clamored for q peace by negotiation,
not by governments, but by means of con
ferences Of the working classes Of all the
warning countries, including Germany The
latest number Of one Of the most respecta-
Bile of American magazines contains a plea
by Mr.. Arthur Henderson for the working
people Of this country to make "direct
