'This is. due partly to-the lack of co-operation and organisation, among women; partiyto the lack-of vision oh the part.of'men. At present there is a more urgent need'than ever before'for women to unite, for the present high cost of living is affecting women,: particularly in their home life. In its future endeavours to bring about aa'cductiou in prices, this council is .relying on, the help—or at least the moral s'upport-of all Wellington wemen. , Will that help be given or withheld ?-.;••-" •":.:.:. ..... .:.-;..
