TWO WAYS OF MANAGING

A HUSBAND

They Do It Differently In America

Dorothea Wieck, the Hollywood film star, denes the difference in technique in husband-managing as employed by wives in and in America thus:-

Europe

America.-The American woman makes her husband worship her from afar and respect her indepen- dence. He seeks her favours as a sweetheart rather than a husband and showers on her constant atten- tion and gifts.

Europe The European woman makes her husband feel that while he may encounter competition he has been chosen above" every other man in the world that he is the backbone of her existence.. ,She still believes the man she marries is conferring a special honour on her by selecting her from so many women.

The reason for this challenging .contrast is explained by Miss Wieck

as follows:-.

Women in Europe are still prone to idealise their men because they are several decades behind Ameri can women in financial indepen- dence.

Mr. MacDonald was subjer ted to considerable interruption from the back of the hall, but was able to continue his speech to the end.

Among his polits were:

There was no abandonment of principle on the formation of the National Government.

The great test was the stern- ming of the rising tide of unem- ployment.

The hunger marches from the provinces were done for nothing else but for "purely political purposes."

داد

The National Government had done more in two years than a marches thousand hunger brought from the provinces to London with no hope of any good result.

The figures of unemployment were down by 500,000. Referring to the protection of British industry, Mr. MacDonald said that France and ourselves had been in some negotiation on tariffs: Now France had put up proposals which he thought were very unjust to British Industry.
