WOMEN HOLD THE FLOOR OF THE COMMONS
THE HOUSE OF COMMONS yesterday had an "all-woman" day, when seven out of ten of the wo- men members joined forces for the first time to pre- sent the case of the women of Britain to the Govern- ment and did so with feminine forcefulness.
The debate was on the organisation of women power and the theme of most of the speeches was that women are anxious to take up war work but were prevented by rules and regulations which dis- couraged them.

Much good humour the proceedings.
enlivened
The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour and Na- tional Service, Mr. R. Assheton, admitted that if Government tail- ed to attract as many women as were needed it could only be because it approached them the wrong way.
If compulsory powers had to be used it would be in an al- most negligible number of cases.
Only three men participated in the debate, and at its conclusion Sir John Anderson, winding up, apologised as a man for his inter- vention on the ground that "fools rush in where angels have ceased to tread." Reuter.

Selective Treatment
The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour told the Commons the object was to sur- vey carefully the available supply of women and find out how they were at present occupied and what each of them could best do to help the country.
Above all what was wanted with women was selective treat- ment, not mass treatment.
By far the most important aim of registration was to put to work those women who might be losing work through the closing down of uncssential industries and those at present unoccupied and not tak- ing a full share in the war effort.
He doubted if any Government department had ever taken on a more formidable task but he did not believe that in any but a very small number of cases would Government have to use its com- pulsory powers.
Women wanted to share in the work of winning the war, as so many had done so gallantly since the very beginning. The women. of Britain had shown the most wonderful courage and endurance and were now being called upon for further help.

No Glamour
of the work would be hard and full of drudgery and dif- ficulty. There would be little glamour about it except the knowledge they were serving the country in its hour of need.
