The conservatism Of England
and of English life and thought
forms crust over the top Of what
is really going on--underneath it
the new forces are busily at work.
The change that is most notice
able to the onlooker is the gather
ing strength of the democratic
spirit in the relations between
class and class. The government
of England has long been one of
the most democratic in the world,
but, right alongside of it, the
social life of England has re-
NAMED practically caste-ridden-

servatism that is the basis of

The people Of England were united

they were one in purpose, affected

common fear. They learned. a.

on the traffic in women and chill
dren. ST.,
Denmark has appointed woman
as full voting delegate. and France
has sent a woman AZ alternate
delegate. but apparently nothing
will persuade Mr.. Short to give
way. He viii not even state what
the real objection OF the British
government to a woman repre-
sentative is, nor what their policy
Is to be, and such an attitude on
such subjecxi' serious thing
for women.
Lady Astor pointed out that
those who have dealt specially
with this subject here in England
have never been consulted. and a
man has been sent who knows
practically nothing about It. Mr..
Shortt tried to protect himself from
further awkward questions by hold
ing up the presence Of one woman
member Of the NATIONAL Visilance
Association as adviser Of Great
Britain's representative, as a proof
of the governments broadminded-
ness where women are concerned.
But this Is not an official appoint
, ment. and the government has no
responsibility for 1t.
The conference Is at this moment
in session. and II is considering
whether 1t shall urge the League Of
Nations to appoint a permanent in
ternational committee to advise the
Council Of the League on all matters
dealing with white slave traffic. The
conference has before 1t a Nheavy
task, and its decisions will be eager
ly awaited BY all women's societies
throughout the world. In this coun-
try a large number of them have
already banded together. through
the machinery Of Lady Astor's con-
sultative committee, to urge upon
the conference.-the necessity Of safe
guarding women from this infamous
traffic.
Surely. the near future presages
strenuous times for the women Of
England. They are preparing to
take their place in the professions
and they will have a hand in the
setting Of the pattern that will
come out OF the next ten years.
