honorable occupation — so that his soul will not tempt him to give out his respected card as a passport for every affair that brings him in a little money.

If I were elected, I would add to the foregoing conditions work for woman's cause, because it is still crawling, and a brilliant future awaits it on which the future of the nation depends. Then I would open institutes for young ladies, where they would learn the cultivation of taste and the

rearing of children, in the free hours the school allows.

A — The women's societies should present to the responsible authorities a list setting side by side ladies whose learning and culture qualify them to enter the arena of politics, and men who possess nothing of these qualifications, but who in spite of all this have managed to reach the Chamber — indeed, the ministry...

If I were given the right to vote, I would require of the man I wish to elect:

1 — That he be highly cultured (that is, university-educated).

2 — That he be an ambitious young man who desires to work in the service of his country and does not weary of it when circumstances cross him. And by youth I mean youth of opinion

and thought, not youth of body.

3 — That he have been raised with a modern upbringing and with a measure of freedom of thought; for a young man shaped by the mentality of his father and grandfather has no right to represent his generation — he is rather a reactionary specimen of the generation of his father and grandfather.

If I became a deputy, I would strip myself of my own person and the person of my family, to

do all that my conscience and my inner sense dictate to me, and I would make my motto: Justice is the foundation of rule.

Demands are not attained by wishing; the world is taken by struggle.

That is my opinion!

A — I have read the protests, looked over the telegrams, and heard the discussions, but this is not enough; on the contrary, this is exactly what makes the men jeer and mock.

I have not yet seen women distinguish themselves in the various fields now open before them! (The Woman's Voice: Oh, come now!!) And as a result they have not imposed themselves upon society. I now see a solution that may be silly, or impossible: that every lady, or miss, prevent her husband or brother or father from voting if she herself does not obtain her rights. Perhaps by that we might arrive at a result.

As for me, I refuse absolutely to add my voice to the voices of the protesting women who are still at the stage of demanding... When the hour strikes, you will see! The days shall judge between us!

As regards the choice of my candidate, I say:

1 — I want him to hold Arab national principles in which he believes as he believes in his Lord.

2 — I want him not to spend a single dirham for the sake of his election — buying no votes and "greasing" no newspapers.

3 — I want him to fear no one: bold in his statements, bold in his opinions, believing that the law is the law, to be applied to great and small alike.

4 — And that his program include the abolition of sectarianism, the establishment of free schooling, and above all compulsory military service for young men and young women, and Arab unity.

As regards the second half of the question, I say:

I do not want to be a deputy, because my program for the future goes beyond the compass of all offices — presidencies and ministries included.
