Great Britain Needs Practical National
Housekeeping, With No Extravagance.
• -----
I
By LADY ABYOR, First Woman Commoner.
This is no joy ride. 1 am fully conscious of the
responsibilities resting upon me. I had to contend
against the prejudice which undoubtedly exists among
many of the opposite sex. I believe it was the won
derful, touching support from the navy lower deck
men which steadied and rallied the waverers, overcame
the doubters and brought me victory.
I am going to the house of commons to put wom-i
an’s viewpoint foremost. 1 have the soundest views
on affairs affecting women and children.
Women have the qualities needed in the com
mons and in politics. Their spiritual qualities help to purify politics and
will help m the commons. We are more practical than men—we are the
first to acknowledge when we are wrong.
I am not a political economist and I have the courage to say so, but 1
number among my friends the very ablest men of all parties, sections,
classes and circles in England. In general I am a supporter of the
coalition and Lloyd George, but I am not tied to anybody’s apron strings.
England needs practical national housekeeping. We could not trust
the government to Mr. Asquith—the ancient mariner—or his ambitious
lieutenants. We must reconstitute our industrial organization, increase
our exports, re-establish a sense of security and bring down the cost of liv
ing. We must cut down unproductive expenditures. We cannot afford
extravagance.
I am fully conscious of the high honor and grave responsibility of
my position. It is overwhelming to realize that I dm the first woman
commoner. I realize perfectly that my behavior will be a precedent before
which the rest of my sex will be judged. 1 have got to make good.
