Wishes to point out to all friends throughout the country that the Indian Repeal movement demands immediate and continued action on their part in order to influence the Government and strengthen the hands of their supporters in Parliament. Mr Stansfeld and their other supporters have explained that there are three alternative Bills on their way home from India and that nothing can be done till they arrive. JB feels that these Bills, considering their source will not satisfy the Repealers throughout the country. Therefore she advocates action: that memorials should be poured in (beginning at once) from all parts, all urging the necessity of penal legislation against the outrage practised on women. No compromise to be accepted on this point.
