A three day Convention attend ed by foremost women represen tatives of their organizations in U.S.A. deliberated on serious questions confronting the women of this country and the world. The theme of the Convention “The Challlenge of the World in Turmoil” gave ample mate rial for the round table discussions on “The defense of moral and social vaules; the defense of physical and environmental values; and defense of socio-economic val ues.” At a -l'umcbeon, open also to 'die guests, Dr. George N. Shuster, President of Hunter College spoke on the subject: National Issues in the World in Turmoil, Mr. Laird Archer, the Foreign Director of the Near East Foun dation in Athens, on the subject: The Challenge of a World in Tur moil and Mrs. Mary Tenison Woods, Chief of Status of the Women Section of United Nations WOMEN IN PARLIAMENTS We have had the right to vote since 1920, a period of 32 years, yet during that time, there have been only 50 women members of Congress, representing 29 states. In comparison, India has at the present time 22 women in the Par liament and 82 women in the State Assemblies; France has 22 women in the Parliament and 13 women in other branches; and Jaipan, with a background of wo men’s political participation for a period of only seven years, has 14 women in the House of Council lors and 15 in the House of Repre sentatives. on the subject: Challenge to Indi vidual Leadership in a World in Turmoil. At a luncheon “Honoring Our Pioneers,” many women pioneers were present and others sent their greetings to the Convention. The Ukrainian National Wom en’s League, a member of the National Council of Women of the United States since January, 1952, was represented by Mrs. Helen F. D. Lototsky, President and Mrs. Janet P. Bencal, Chair man of Public Relations. They had the opportunity to take part in all Convention functions and deliberations. Mrs. Katherine Pe- leshok, Vice-Pres., was a guest at one of the luncheons. Mrs. Lototsky gave her report on the UNWLA,s work and acti vities and proposed a resolution expressing comipassion to the wo men behind the iron curtain and inspiring- hope of their early liber ation. The res'olution was unani mous1!}^ accepted. Debt in 1930 $16.2 billion; debt in 1939 $40.4 billion; debt in 1952 $260.2 illion. These are the figures of the national debt we Americans have been piling up year after year, by borrowing 'to meet the big spend ing of our big government. It’s a shocking mortgage on our chil dren, and we haven’t even begun to pay up. But we’re paying plenty in an other way—you know— Inflation, High Prices, 53 Cent Dollars! For -it’s a fact that when we balance our federal budget with 1.0.U.’s, it creates extra dollars wihich push prices up, bidding a:gainst each other. So—we have more dollars1— BUT they’re worth less in terms of what they buy. Hadn’t we better stoip piling up 1.0.U.’s and start protecting the value of our dollars? “Don’t ask government to do anything you can do for yourself, and remember the bigiger the go vernment, the smaller the people.” L e ft to r ig h t: M rs.
