INTERNATIONALISM

UNIVERSITY WOMEN MEET

Mr, Johannes Andersen was the speaker at a recent' meeting of the Federation of University. Women and gave a most interesting address on "Internationalism." He has recently returned from a world tour, and as well is a great reader on such subjects.

Mr.. Andersen believed that a basic language founded on about 800 ,English words Would be an immense help towards the countries understanding one another. The bars' against international unity were largely, based on ignorance and misunderstanding,- and international fear was the result, and a most dangerous one. Mr. Andersen touched on historical instances which proved his case, and which bore on the ques^ tions of the day. .

In speaking about South America, the speaker said that he was astonished to find that although an immense amount of British papital was involved there were few British residents there. He said that .he believed that the British were unable to fraternise sufficiently to promote international friendship, and were still influenced chiefly by commercial gain. It was noticeable that the most backward countries were those in which. there was no belief in the education of the masses, which thus took no part in Government. Mr. Andersen concluded with an appeal for greater tolerance between nations. He felt that national opinions and individualism should be modified to make for permanent peace.

A hearty vote of-thanks was given to Mr. Andersen for his address, and after supper the business session was held.

revolving*glass ball' ln> the centre'of the hall: cast a soft glow on the gowns hi ,the-dancers

As,it is Goronation-.yeaf, there were touches :.of red, white,, and blue in the ballroom, the' effect being, gained, in. an original manner by having red, white, and blue ' spotlights in ' the = revolving sphere,, which altered .■the. colour scheme of the; guests' gowns,, and, gave them .an^old-world.effect of stateliness. The .jeffect was enhanced by' the- drop scene' at the end of the halls of an old English village, painted in tones of blue and white. . -- ■

An excellent sit-down supper was served downstairs, where long tables were attractively decorated with green baskets and green vases, filled with vivid Iceland poppies and . tied with gold ribbons,* to: correspond with the Victoria Collegecolours.
