New Zealand.”. “That this league strongly opposes the wilful waste of money to be spent on Pqaco celebrations, particularly in the making of useless bonfires.” THE WOMEN’g MOVEMENT. There was a good attendance at the Alexandra Hall on Sunday evening, when Miss England lectured under the auspices, of the Wellington .‘Social Democratic Party on ‘."Tho"' Women’s Movement in Europe.” Mrs S. Beck presided. Miss England referred to the progress that women had made politically and industrially during _ recent years." There had been two lines of advancement along which emancipation of thought amongst women regarding their position in ' society had progressed. There was the Anglo-Ameri-can school and the Teuto-Steandinavian. The former had dealt almost exclusively in thepast” with “women's political status. Tts principal watchword Was “Votes for Women. ’ Tho demands for Women’s political equality had been very insistent from the time of Mary Woolsteneraft” up to tho modern suffragist movement, and a great number of them had been acknowledged and embodied iri legislation. The women’s movement in the English-speaking countries had gained steadily in adherents and influence until to-day it ' was a great force. ' Men of. the'-foremost rank intellectually had lent it their wholehearted support. The Teuto-Scandiria-viari school did not stop at political equality, but carried its claims into the realms of social and economic equality. Ibsen’s play, “The Doll’s House,” claimed the right of women to full development as a thinking human being, and to something more than a performance of her functions as mother and wife. In that play Dora had acted on that claim even to the extent of leaving her husband and children for the sake of her soul’s freedom and tho fulfilment of her Ideals. The French, Italian, Spanish, Slavonic, and Eastern women’s movement had blended the leading features of both tho TeutoScandinavian and the Anglo-American movements. In Russia, women had now equal right with men to vote for the various Soviets, and equal pay for equal work had long been established in the teaching profession in Russia, while women were admitted "to . many, professions at an earlier date than, in most European countries. The Russian Government had admitted a woman to the rank of the Chief People’s 'Commissaries, a position equivalent to Cabinet rank in this country. It had also sent tho first woman plenipotentiary to represent it at tho Brest-Litovsk Peace Conference, Tho women’s movement in Japan was growing, and in China there were no fewer than 24 newspapers devoted to the furtherance of the women’s movement. Everywhere women wore awakening and organising, and their efforts and influence had been consistently directed towards the world's advancement and progress. The world at tho present timo required tho best thought, the highest devotion, the most disinterested work of. both _ men and women combined. It was essential that man and woman should march abreast, shoulder to shoulder, in the modern efforts to regenerate society. It would be disastrous if. women lagged behind, for then progress would bo retarded and frustrated.
