WOMEN'S WORLD

HONOLULU CONFERENCE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS (Received 18th August, 8 a.m.) HONOLULU, 16th August.

Dame Baehel Crbwdy said that she had been sceptical before coming to the conference. She had been eager to meet women, but had been doubtful of the necessity of a conference separate from men. She now felt, however, that the conference was of extraordinary value. Until the conditions of work and life for women in all countries were more stable, valuable contributions would be given, at women's conference by women not likely to attend a mixed conference.

Consideration of future plans will be continued next week.
