the days of the early oreeks history shows that democracies have often contained germs tbatrdestroy them oneto the failure to prepare quickly and sufficiently when warfare threatens another to the failure to unite wholeheartedly against the foe to what extent are the women of the democracies to blame it to wellknown that women are greater pacjflato that men naturally they do not want their husbands and sons to go to war they do not look at a sudden crisis from a national viewpoint but chiefly from a maternal one in the democracies women have been given the vote and if united hold the balance of power in any election our leaders and thinkers who see the danger clearly have to wait until public opinion ttnchidlng the opinion of women is fully aroused before they cantjgo ahead with the gig antic preparations needed to wage a modem war successfuhy is it true that leaders in england were afraid to admit publicly the seriousness of the situation in 1939 because of the woman vote was this one of the chief reasons for the apparent delay in arming in britain for the delay in getting ajx all out war effort underway in canada and similarly in the oba a- delay that germany was quick to take fult advantage of then there is another side of the picture is it women chiefly who still demand- the luxuries of peacetime who are responisble chiefly for diverting so large a share o our industrial production away from war materials to domestic needs is it because many of the womeri of the democracies think it their right to have the latest in dresses and hats and house furnishings that the annual war expenditure of germany was 5 tunes that of britain in 1036 and is still believed to be greater even now than that of either britain or united states a prominent american said recently our public men are at the steering wheel it in true but they seem to be directed by our lovely back seat drivers who cannot see the precipice ahead when women attained full privileges of citizenship in equality with men they also attained equal responsibility and it is up to them indi vidually to see that they do not in any way hamper the nations efforts to srirm iftvm an ajtrrexsor special appeals we must indeed hang together if we are not to hang separately said sir norman angell distinguished british visitor when speaking in ottawa recently and continued fifteen nations have lost their indepen dence not because they were sort corrupt incompetent or pacifist but because they did not combine with each other in a united defense against tyranny the women of canada are making a magnificent contribution to the war effort of the empire but are they actually doing their very best are there not still many who caught up in the whirl of domestic social or business affairs find but little time for war work actually war work should be our first consideration not just something we do if we are not busy or if we have time others make the excuse that anything they could contribute would be too small to be of value but this is not the case it is the united ef fort that counts most the small bits that make the big totals recently there have been a number of requests for the type of ser vice women can render the following are perhaps the most urgent 1 the government is asking us to buy tlo000000 of war savings certificates each month to help
