WOMEN MIGRANTS DRUDGES “A HUMILIATING SLUR” Reed. 11.50 a m. LONDON, Thursday. "It is a humiliating slur to suggest that British women are only useful in the Dominions as domestics.” said Miss Wileman, founder of the Empire Leag*ue lor Overseas Settlement, when addressing the- Soroptimists’ Club. She complained that they were only invited to migrate for domestic service, for which women of British professional classes were wholly unfitted. It was detrimental to British prestige. Domestic work overseas was thrice as heavy as in England, and it “makes my blood boil to see American women flaunting luxurious wealth and sneezing at the gently-bred middle-clafs British women working over the border in Canada as domestic drudges.”—A. and N.Z.
