Revolt Of Women Salvation Of New Zealand?
Fress Assoctation)
(Per
' • WELLINGTON, June 27. The women of New Zealand had now even become a subject of comment by overseas visitors in respect of the clothes which they were graciously permitted to wear, said Mr. W. J. Sim, K.C., at the National Party conference today. "A dreary monotony and mediocre appearance" was one comment, to which Mr, Nash had replied: "Women are very nicely dressed" and compared* very well with all the people he had seen overseas, with the comp^cency of a dictator. It remained to be seen whether the man was yet born who could dictate to New Zealgnd women as to what they should be permitted to buy and wear. "If the men become acquiescent under socialism, _the elear-sighted realism of women, and their at times illogical habit of rebeiling, may turn Out to be the saWation of New Zealand," said Mr. Sim.
