indeed democrats and wish to lead this
world to democracy, we can ask Other
peoples to accept in proof of oui
sincerity and our ability to lead then
whittier they wish to be led, nothing
less persuasive and convincing thar
our actions. Our professions will not
suffice. Verifieation must be forth
coming when verifieation is asked for
And in this case verification is ask
ed for-asked for in this particular
matter. You ask by whomi Not through
diplomatic channels. Not by foreign
ministers. Not by the intimations OF
parliaments. 1t is asked for by the anx
GUS, expeetant suffrage peoples with
whom we are dealing and willing to
put their destinies in some manner in
our hands, if they are sure that we
wish the same things that they do.
do not speak by conjecture. 1t is not
alone the voices of statesmen and news
papers that reach me, and the voices of
foolish and intemperate agitators do
not reach me at all Through many,
many channels have been made aware
what the plain, struggling workaday
folk are thinking, upon whom the, chief
terror and suffering Of this tragic war
falls. They are looking to the great,
powerful famous democracy of the west
to lead them to the new day for which
they have so long waited and they
think in their logical simplicity that
democracy means that women shall
play their part in affairs alongside
men and upon an equal footing with
them. If we reject measures like this,
in ignorance and defiance of what a
new age has brought forth, of what
they have seen, but we have not, they
will cease to believe in us; they will
cease to follow or trust us. They nave
seen their own governments accept
this Interpretation of democraey-seen
cid governments like that of Great
Britain, which did not profess to be
democratic, promise readily and as Of
course this justice to women, though
they had been refused it, the strange
revelations of this war having made
many things new and plain. to govern
ments as well as to peoples,
