In a debate at Oxford Sir Her. Scurry. bort anld:

"I do not think women's place is. In Industry, and I am confident that if all the women were taken out of it except, perhaps, the cotton Industry-tho unemploy ment problem would be solved."

Commenting on this statement, Miss Kottle, of the Association of Women Clerks and Secretaries,

said: *.

"Why, there are thousands of jobs that women do that men could not do. Shorthand typists, for instance-men would never knuckle down to that, especially at the salaries paid... Thon there are doctors' secretaries, who mast often be nurses, and all kinds of factory work that women do belter than men.

Miss Flora Drummond, of the Women's Guild of Empire, said:

"Sir Herbert apparently has forgotten that women came to the rescue of industry during the war. Men weren't too proud to have women work then. Why should they now object that many women themselves?' Besides, support
