In his article on "Sex Relationship", Dr. R. J. Ewart said, in commenting on the present excess of females over males:-"The result of this is to produce in a community a section of women who cannot possibly perform that function for which they were fashioned. Their energies are naturally directed into other spheres, as evidence of which we see the revival of movement for political recognition." ... Dr. Ewart errs in attributing to a purely physical cause a movement which really arises from a mental and moral awakening - and, indeed, his whole article is full of unsupported assertions and loose reasoning; but I should not have ventured to criticise it had he not so clearly allowed his judgment to be warped by his political bias.
