FEMALE POLITICIANS
A BISHOP’S COMPLAINT. v
United Press Association —By Elect rio Telegraph—Copy r-ght).
LONDON, July 2. “It is one of the disadvantages of the admission of women into political life on equal terms with men that, invariably the representation of women s in public life tends to fall, into the lianos of unmarried, childless women,-' who can never be the truest exponents of women’s mind and characterj” declared the Bishop of Durham at a Mothers’ Union festival.' . Everybody 'ii knew, lie said, unmarried and child- ;v less women who had shown wonderful unselfishness and affection toward&children, but the fact remained that; the natural experience of child-bearing, with all its sacrifices, was an indispensable ? condition to a , motherly character. ' : \ . .
“1 think it, therefore, unfortunate” the Bishop added, “.that the representation of women in public life should be so largely in the hands of those •„ who do not possess that primary qualification.”.
