Future of the Women of Britain Lies
Wholly in the Hands of Labor
By BEATRICE FORBES-ROBERTSON HALE
fa-■■■-■■'. ■ ■■ -... - . —-. ■ --
There are two alternatives before the women of Britain. There an
2,000,000 women who can never marry. If labor speeds up and the peopb
woik to throw off the national debt, as the French did after the Franco
Prussian war, then these superfluous women will have a chance in indus
try. But if the extreme labor agitators have their way everyone will b
at loggerheads, the output will diminish and women will be the victims
for they will be unable to get employment. In this event there will b
nothing for those 2,000,000 women to do but sink into misery or go to tin
colonies. Their future lies virtually in the hands of labor.
I wrote in 1914: “Feminism, if it is a live thing, cannot mean th<
elimination of children from women’s lives; one can afford to trust noi
only life but women for that. The time has already come when womei
are achieving success in their work and in the upbringing of their chil
dren as well. But complete freedom, both to work and to bear children
involves almost unimaginable changes in social conditions, in housing
nursing, education, cooking, cleaning and in industry and the professions
It is the biggest job of the feminist movement, and on its success or fail
ure the whole thing hangs.”
These “unimaginable changes” are already coming about in Englanc
as a result of the war, and home life, community life, education and indus
try are being put on a new basis.
’Hie reconstruction program of the British government is so far
reaching that ten years ago most of us would have called it- socialistic, bu'
people have moved forward to meet it.
Frau Clara Mende, German National Assembly—The emigratioi
question particularly concerns the women at this time. Women must im
press-on the government that no consuls or no foreign representatives b<
selected who are unmarried in order that each place where we are repre
sented the families of our representatives may becom®centers of Germar
colonies.

INDUSTRIES OF
BELGIUM ARE
IN OPERATION
BRUSSELS, Oct. 4 (Correspondence
of Associated Press).—All Belgium is
returning to work, and the country is
recovering rapidly from the war.
In Brussels factories which were
damaged during the German occupa
tion are being fitted with machinery,
and some of them already are turn
ing out their accustomed products to
within a few per cent of the pre-war
capacity.
Production of sugar exceeds the pre
war tonnage. Glass factories are re
opening. In the iron and steel mills
I many plants have resumed operations,
particularly in the Liege district,
where some of the mills were com
pletely demolished and otheres so
badly damaged that entire blast fur
naces had to be rebuilt. Within a
year, it is believed, the most impor
tant of these plants will be operating
to capacity.
The cotton trade of Ghent also has
resumed, and steamers loaded with
American cotton are arriving almost
daily. During the German occupation
all copper fittings were removed from
the machines in the spinning factories,
and some of these have not yet been
replaced.
The linen industry also has taken
on new life, and additional workers
are being employed every week. The
export trade in linen is growing just
as rapidly as the factories can turn
out the finished product.
It is in the country districts, how
ever, where one sees the Belgian at
his best. In the vast garden country
which stretches from Brussels to the
sea scarcely a square foot of ground
is left uncultivated, so anxious are
the people to produce their own food,
and they are working from early morn
until late at night to attain that end.
Apparently there is no scarcity of
food in Belgium. It is costly in towns
and cities, but in the country the peo
ple now have gathered their first har
vest since the war, and are in need of
nothing. Even butter is being served
in the hotels, and in every house
the fear of starvation, which for so
many years made life a burden, has
been banished. Many persons are
convinced that this time next year
will see the country very well on the
way to recovery.
