The old law, Viscount Ullswater ex- plained to the Lords, was founded on the assumption that a wife would not dare to contradict her husband; “but if we want'to maintain respect for the law,” he said, “it must be strictly in accordanée with our lives and our ‘social relations. ‘Whatever the legal presumption may have been in the olden times, there can be no such pre- sumption today.” “It connotes an inferior and degrad- ing status which:women of the present day will never accept. The whole ten- dency of modern thought has been in the other direction—to elevate the status of women and put them on the same footing as men.” The Viscount raised laughter when he continued: “I appeal to the ripe experience of any of our lordships. Bachelors with no experience of wo- men are the only people who take an opposite view,” and he pointed out that the doctrine did noi prevail in Scotland, “presumably because of| Lady Macbeth,” he said. ‘Defends Existing Law, Lord Buckmaster, a former Lord igh Chancellor, defended the exist. ing law. He said it was his firm con- viction that the bulk of women today acted under the direction of their hus- ‘bands, and this, he held, was assured- ly true among the lower ranks of soci- | ety. “I am not prepared to destroy! what has been established by’ the wis] dom of our ancestors, who knew as much about men and women as we do today,” he declared. “Women have got the vote but they are just the sam» as ‘before.” Here the present Chancellor, Lord Birkenhead, spoke up. “As to hus- bands controlling their wives,” he said, “every man has his own experience In these matters and I am not bold enough to make any such claim.” Lord Aberdeen, a former lord lieu- tenant of Ireland and ex-governor general of Canada, reflectively. ob- served that one of his ancestors, when chancellor of Scotland, resigned office rather than carry out an act which! proposed to make husbands respon- sible for their wives’ non-attendance at church, Lady Frances Balfour, president of the National Council of Women of Great Britain and Ireland, writing in the Times, calls attention to the fact that the “doctrine of coercion” is not the only survival of ancient English laws affecting marrted women. She cites the “law of coveture,” according to which a man and his wife are one Person and the husband is that per- son. The wife’s “legal existence ig in- conporated and consolidated into that ‘Lady Frances pointed out that it ie no more than 30 years since the House of Lords negatived a claim that a husband had the right to imprison ‘his wife, which was pased on this doc. trine, which has, however, never been abolished in its entirety. At the same time, she proceeds, a wife’s position ag her husband’ 's Prop- erty is still in practice, as, for exam- ple when she is not allowed to decide for herself, like other adults, whether or not she shall submit to a surgical These doctrines, whiclt belong to an| be explicitly annulled by legislation, Lady Frances declared, United States now dominates the world steel market. Fear of foreign competition in steel export trade is rapidly vanishing, America is under- selling every European country except Belgium,” in nearly every branch of steel exports. Belgium's productive capacity is not large enough to worry ‘about. Before the war, Germany dom- inated world steel exports.
