ENGLISHWOMEN FIRST. Miss Christabel Pankhurst, prcsiding-on, Mon- day at a meeting of the Women's Social and Political Union at the Queen's Hall, said she had received several promises from members of Par- liament that they would ballot for the Women's Franchise Bill in the forthcoming Session. She thought that the indirect power of women in polihcs was very often mischievous. It was power without responsibility. Some of the anti- Suffragists pulled wires and intrigued in poli- tics not for great national ends, but for per- sonal, sectional, and party eudt3. Referring to the n^ilitant tactics, Miss Pank- hurst said they were blamed for being unlady- like, but she and all the other Suffragists Were Englishwomen before they were ladies. At the present moment they had decided to clease mili- tant methods temjZrarily-pc-rmanentl, if the Government would have it so. They could afford to stop to see whether the "militant methods had done their work or not. The pause was dictated entirely by tactical reasons. They were more ready to-day to pursue militant methods than in the past.
