NO CHILDREN
DISADVANTAGES OF WOMEN IN POLITICS BISHOP TALKS TO MOTHERS (United Service) LONDON, Tuesday. The Bishop of Durham, Dr. Hensley Henson, speaking at a festival of the Mothers’ Union, said: “It is one of the disadvantages ot the admission of women into political life on equal terms with men that invariably the representation of women in public life tends to fall into the hands of unmarried or childless women, who can never be the truest exponents of woman’s mind and char aC Dr. Henson said everybody knew both unmarried and childless women who had shown wonderful unselfish ness and affection toward children. But the fact remained that the natural experience of child bearing, with all its sacrifices, was an indispensable condition of motherly character. “I think it therefore unfortunate." he continued, “that the representation of women in public life should be so largely in the hands of those who do not possess that primary qualification."
