Balsquith Monologue from Press Cuttings

From Press Cuttings by Bernard Shaw

male · defiant · 51 sec

Mitchener: the game is up. (MITCHENER: What do you mean?) The strain is too much for the Cabinet. The old Liberal and Unionist Free Traders declare that if they are defeated on their resolution to invite tenders from private contractors for carrying on the Army and Navy, they will go solid for votes for women as the only means of restoring the liberties of the country which we have destroyed by compulsory military service. (MITCHENER: Infernal impudence?) The Labor party is taking the same line. They say the men got the Factory Acts by hiding behind the women's petticoats, and that they will get votes for the army in the same way.
