WORK OF WOMEN AT
END OF WAR GIVEN
A GRAPHIC OUTLINE
—
LONDON, March 2. — Now that
the women of England virtually arc
assured of the vote, a discussion has
arisen as to what they will do with
it after the war.
Approval by Parliament of the new
Franchise Bill, which before the war
undoubtedly would have been the sig
nal for a great feminine demonstia
tion, elicited far less excitement than
the average street queue wh* h forms |
nowadays in front of a corner gio
eery shop.
While the 0101*0 mention of the in
troduction of such a measure former
ly would have been flawed across the
i front pages of all the great English
j newspapers, its enactment into law
1 now commands only passing notice, j
! and its relative importance to the !
other news of the day is so slight that
1 the average reader might easily over
look it altogether.
“What does it all mean?” the hard
headed, once uncompromising English
man is asking.
“It means,” says Miss Marie Corel
! li, the novelist, “that woman’s work,
after the war will be very much on
i the straight and simple lines of na
; {\xie—love, sw'eetness, and home.
That’s all woman’s work, which she
is now compelled to neglect—but only ,
to cling to it more when the madness ;
of the nations is past.”
; Americans who, before the war,
were wont to seek out the places of
historic interest in Shakespeare’s
town, never failed to pause when they
came upon the beautiful vine-covered
house which Miss Corelli has occu
pied for some years.
Miss Corelli declares she has no ■
fear for her sex.
“The wheel goes around always
you know*, and in time stops at the
same old place,’’ asserts the novelist
with emphatic assurance. “Grace, co
quetry, pretty apparel, and all the
dainty sweet things of womanliness
will come back again,—again another
Dante will mu.^e on another Beatrice,

Vgain reverence for women and chi
valry will adorn the strength of man
hood—and slang and roughness be
things of the past. I love my sex,
and would have them all ‘creatures 01
beauty and joys forever.’ ”
“Hut what of the vote?”
“I have seen a great deal of wo
men’s work in this war,” says Miss
Corel 1, ‘‘and 1 am sure their metier is
affection, devotion, tenderness, and
that they hardly need the polling
booth to assert their claim to consid
eration. Hut the vote will give them
a rightly won position in the affairs
of the nation. Good and brave men
will always pay them honor; they can
do without the admixture of politics
in their lives, still they may as well
have it.
“I hope and believe the place wo
men will occupy after the war will be
the old sweet place nature intended
her for—in the home nest, with love
to guard and sanctify her existence.
She will soon be tired of prancing
around in trousers and working on
the land. Women are privileged to
change their minds, and about a year
ago l changed mine from strong anti
suffrage to the other thing. In edu
cational matters, women’s votes and
their influence are imperatively nec
essary.”
NORWAY WANTS
TRADE TO COME!
FROM THE U. S.
CHRISTIANIA, Norway, March 2.
—How to come to an agreement with
America for the resumption of the
import of supplies is the main topic
for discussion by the Norwegian pres*
and people. In the beginning the Gov
ernment did not seem to take the
American question seriously. But al
ter the failure of the commission in
Washington to obtain export licenses,
the cabinet members realized the
gravity.of the situation. One by one
the members#of. the Norwegian dele
gation to Washington returned until
jnly Dr. Nansen remained.
The newspapers, except tlic official
cabinet organ, are becoming impa
tient. They ask why Denmark has
)btained export licenses for different
food stuffs, and say Sweden has had
greater success than Norway. So far
Germany has had great advantages
from the trade agreements with Nor
way.
By the agreement with Great Brit
ain of August 1916, Norway could
send fifteen per cent, of her fish to
Germany. But beside this Germany
bought enormous quantities of canned
fish, so that, it is said, the total ex
port amounted to more than thirty
per cent It was asserted at a session
of the Storthing that the total export
of fish to Germany from August, 1914
to August 1917, was 150,000 tons. Be
fore the war the average export to
Germany was 78,000 tons, or about
22 per cent, of the whole export of
fish from the countiy. On the other
hand the Germans have not been able
--
to keep their contract to furnish fish
ing tackle and motor oil as compensa
tion for the fish. i
One leading paper ask3 how long
Norway is to continue supplying fa
vors to Germany while the Germans
sink Norwegian ships and kill Nor
wegian sailors. And, it inquired, what
does Norway get in return for the
material for manufacturing guns, pro
jectiles and ammunition which she is
supplying to Germany.
The Shipping Gazette said editor
ially recently that the Norwegian
Foreign Minister is exerting himself
to increase the export of raw mater
ials for manufacturing munitions, end
cited that as the reason why the
United States did not send a Christ
mas ship to Norway, as to Denmark.
Other papers, notably the Social Dem
ocraten challenged the Foreign Min
ister to deny the statement, but he
remained silent.
Before the war Geimany furnished
Norway with considerable grain and
flour, but, although the fish expert is
more than doubled, Norway does not
get any flour from Geiman. The
United States has been the chief pro
vider since the beginning of the war.
Before the war, Norway obtained
197,000 tons of grain and flour from
Geimany and 51,000 from the United
States. In 1915, she imported 382,000
tons from the United States and 87
tons from Geimany, and after that
year none fiom Germany. And Ger-j
many has also stopped the exporta
tion to Nonvay of other very impor
tant commodities.
