Look to a "GoIden West"
[From the London Times.l

(From the London Times
Many educated ex-service women
are thinking of settling overseas.
Mrs. Norman Grosvenor, vice.
chairman of the Society for Settle
ment of British Women Overseas Gin
which are amalgamated three So
cieties dealing with the problems
of women going to the dominions), ,
says:
Conditions overseas are harder
and more unfinished than they are
here, and women who think they
can pay to get things done for them
away from the big cities will find
it is not so. False ideas of the
Golden West are a handicap for
the woman settler. We would prefer
that six women with no illusions
should go out rather than sixty
who will be disconnected by rough
conditions or unexpected hardships.
and blinded by these inconvenience
to the real prospects the dominion
offers them. No woman who is feeble
In health or character is wanted in
the colonies-only the strong, ener-
getic and hopeful.
"All ex-service women are en-
titled to third class passages free to
the dominions. But few women care
to go third class, and the port of
landing is often many miles from
a suitable sphere of work, and the
railway journey may be as costly as
the journey out.
Things are going to be very bad
here during the transition period
of the educated woman, and those
who have thrown themselves into
hard work during the war are not
likely to take kindly to a period of
idIeness. But numbers of officers
and workers of the 'Wrens.' 'Waacs,
'Wrafs, and ". A. D.s,' and many of
the land army. are eagerly discus
sing opportunities overseas and we
are most anxious to help them"

small in relation to the average
value of commodities that it would
take a relatively enormous change
In rates TO affect prices. 1t is a
notable fact that in 1914 the freight
charge was SO per cent. OF the
average value of commodities.
while in 1919 it was only "a per
cent, which demonstrates that if
freight rates were advanced at the
present time exactly fifty per cent.
