SOME AMERICAN WOMEN IN BRITISH POLITICS AMERICAN women have played of late years an Increasingly proml- nent part in British politics, and they have shown themselves at least as tactful and adroit in the difficult game of diplomacy as their English sisters, whose chief intellectual diversion it has been for generations, ,The first name In the growing list which comes to mind Is that of Mrs. Cornwal- lls West, formerly Lady Randolph Churchill. The wife of one cabinet min- iHtev. and the mother of 'another, Mrs. Cornwallis West has passed most of her life tn the thick of political struggles, and is celebrated no less for the shrewd- ness of her judgment than for her social charm. There are many who believe, though thero are few, perhaps, who would, as- sert, that If it had not been for his wife's gifts the late Lord Randolph! Churchill would never have achieved cabinet rank.
