The Prime Minister having made this promise at the Just General Election, seems desirous to redeem it. The question has not, however, been settled by the Cabinet, and it the Conservatives can have their way there will not be any great haste in introducing the Premier's measure. One of the main objec tions to a further extention of votes to women is that it would mean that in every constituency there would be a predominance of women on the register, and even if the age limit were made 25 instead of 21 there would still not be half a dozer divisions in the country in which male voters
