Description:Excerpt from Women and the LandIt cannot be said, because they still await orders, that Englishwomen are less patriotic than men and women of other countries it is also useless to argue that, because the war has lasted over a year already, the full tide of its force has passed and there is no urgent reason for action. Even if this were the case and we were within measurable distance of peace, there are vast and important matters that con cern our future land policy which will have to be speedily adjusted. The war has changed much: there will be fewer men to return to the posts they held before; small incomes will be so reduced that women who formerly had not to earn a living will now have to do so. Then, too, we have to think out a future for the ex-soldier, officer as well as private, who, wounded or nerve-strained, will need to have occupation in health-giving surroundings brought within his reach. We should look, too, for a means of preventing heavy expenses in the shape of imports and guard against undue dependence upon foreign food supplies which might be delayed in reaching our shores, if further blockade were attempted. The words spoken not long ago by Lord Selborne perhaps convey best what we have to prepare for. He said: Supposing twenty years hence our children have to face another such war.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
