WOMEN’S WORK.
CONNECTION WITH LEAGUE. Received April 7, 1.55 p.m. HONOLULU, April 7. Ending a ten days’ visit to Honolulu during which she has advanced the cause of equality of women, Miss Bessie M. Rischbieth will sail by the Mariposa for the United States. She has made frequent appearances here before the women’s Pan-Pacific groups preparing for the 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, parti-, cularly White Russians, and urged women to work with the League against vice. She believes Geneva is the only road to world unity. Collective security has assailed isolationists and rabid nationalists who refuse to recognise the inevitable trend towards the League. Women must also fight legislative attempts to deprive, them of equal status with men.
