They are impolite, screaming for 'service' from overworked telephone operators, the help in the library and the office boys. . . . They depend, even the good ones, too much on their male colleagues to help them over the tough places in their assignments.

By this rather sensational invention England is made more self-sufficient--the ancient British insularity is in part retrieved. No longer must the Navy depend entirely upon the Mesopotamian oil fields, and no longer will the coal mining industry languish under the threat of over-production and lack of market. British destiny may well hinge upon this one point--coals to Newcastle will become a moneymaking proposition. God save the King--though the rest...
