Recently a conference of this,body urged the British Government to appoint a woman adviser to the Colonial Office, specially concerned with the status of married women, slavery of women in the Empire, and the collection arid dissemination $f information on thege and other subjects' affecting the . wel>ieing v of women. . , Canadian women's org?./isations met with a sympathetic, response recently when they appealed to their Parliament "to spend otte dollar for the promotion of peace for every hundred dollars now spent for war" by such means as the setting up of a Chair of International Relationships in universities, offering scholarships and assisting all peace societies. Already the Government of Canada makes a yearly grant to the League of Nations Union, in return fo" which members of Parliament are fully supplied with its literature.
