EQUALITY OF WOMEN
Mrs. Rischbieth’s Mission HONOLULU, April 7. Ending a 10-day visit to Honolulu, during which she advanced the cause of equality of women, Mrs Bessiem Bischbieth sails on the Mariposa homeward, after frequent appearances here before Women’s Pan-Pacifle Groups, preparing for tho Pan-Pacific Women’s Association convention in 1937. at Tokio or Canada. She brought a message from the League of Nations asking for help in delivering women and children from slavery, particularly White Russians, and urged women to work with the League against the vice traffic. Mrs Rischbieth, who believes Geneva the only road to world unity and collective security, assailed isolationists and rabid nationalists who refuse to recognise the inevitable trend towards the League. Women, she said, must also fight legislative attempts to deprive them of equal status with men.
