MORAL PROBLEMS.

BY VISCOUNTESS ASTOR, M.P.]

It is always dangerous to generalise, and especially so in any time of upheaval and change liko to-day. Yet generali- sations were never more popular or more emphatie. A great many of the generali. aations about women, for instance, seem. to be drawn from such superficial things as bobbed hair, or a solitary fapper's unseemly behaviour on a 'bus, and conse quently they are of, little-value. I will bry to avoid some of the worst pitfalls, but the very title of this article is itself ageDuralisation. Is there such a person as the "New Weman"? Or are wom much the same as ever, in spite of appare ent changes in their position?

The early and mid-Victorian girl was brought up in na complete ignorance as possible of the fundamental facts of life and of marriage, while the dark side- of the picture, the social evil, was kept closely hid from ber. During the last twenty or thirty years girls have escaped from these narrow walls. When women first began to realise the existence of some of the worst social evils it made some of them embittered against men, in away which was comprehensible, but nevertheless, unreasonable social. The moral problem is no doubt one of the equses which have put women against marriage. It is a short-sighted view, for you cannot mend things by looking on, any more than you can stop a dog-fight by waving an umbrella on the pavement. But the great majority of younger women are realising to-day that, if a change is to be made, if we are to get near a single moral standard, it is for women to bring this about. It is Do good merely throwing stones at met. So long as mothers shut their eyes to the moral failings of eligible husbands for their daughters, or to the wild oats of a favourite son, men will accept the present state of affairs. If girls asked of their lovers the cleanness that is asked of themselves; if the woman who would never think of inviting immoral women to her house would refrain from inviting immoral men, there would be a definite impetus to cleaner morals. Women have, on the whole, been, or tried to be, what men expected them to be. If women ex- pected more of men, they, too, would do the same.

You cannot compare the because I am sure it is at the back of quality of work done by a single man mach of the present apparent unrest and a single woman on similar jobs, if among women.

similar work, with allowances for de pendents, is beginning to appeal to the aordinary citizen as sounder economics than our present system. As for barriers to certain kinds of employment, the war proved that these cannot in most cases be erected along sex lines-that women who are capable of wringing out, a week's heavy wushing are capable of other forms of manual labour; and that there is no inherent reason why a girl who takes a first in law at Cambridge should not make as good a barrister an a man who takes a third.

The census, we are aware, discloses surplus of two million women. Te some this is a positively horrible prospect. Some nothing for it but legalised or unlegalised polygamy. Some, one sis pects, would almost welcome a massacre of femate innocents. It does in some ways present a real social problem, but panic is a poor way to meet it, when it can be met by common-sense and reason. '

There has been a series of articles by Miss Maude Royden appearing, lately in
