If Women United War Would End

Chinese Woman Delegate's Opinion " TT will be women who will finally bring about peace." This remark was made in Sydney by Mrs. Fabinn Chow, one of China's delegates to the International Women's Conference. Mrs. Chow was formerly Miss Alice Lim Kee, and was educated in Melbourne. She has, in recent years, been prominently associated with the Pan-Pacific Women's Conferences, which have done a great deal to unite the women of the countries bordering the Pacific in a close bond, of friendship. It is a tragic thing that two of these countries should be at warj but one thing we know is that if the women of China and Japan could have their way Judge Musmarwo: "Woman is made of a finer and more delicate fabric than man and thus reacts more sensitively to hardship and distress. there would be an end of the war tomorrow. As Mrs. Chow said, when asked whether she would find any difficulty in meeting the Japanese women at the International Conference, women who meet together in this way can accomplish a great deal..lt is not the women who build battleships and start armament races! But how are they going to bring about peace? It is possible for women to do a great deal. But, when all is said and done, it is only by a union of the forces of both men and women that peace among the nations is possible of achievement. By bringing pressure to bear upon Governments, the women of many coun-. tries have won the vote in the face of stubborn opposition; and.they may do greater things than that. When the women of the world organise, as one day they will, a new world will be born and wars will cease.
