D. Campbell, j Mayoress, who were assisted in their * duties as hostesses by Miss Flatt, Mrs. ' McNair, Sister Hannah, Miss Newton, ] Miss Alice Basten and Mrs. John ’ Cook. 1 On behalf of the Australian visitors j Dr. Georgina Sweet replied to the wel- 1 corning speeches, and M iss Sims, of ; Christchurch, spoke for the New Zealand delegates, ] i; WORK OF Y.W.C.A. DR. SWEET SPEAKS AT ASSOCIATION LUNCHEON INTERNATIONAL ASPECT i - i i An extremely interesting account of her experiences at the | 1 recent World Council of the Y.W.C.A., held at St. Cergne, near Geneva, was given by Dr. Georgina j Sweet, of Australia, president of 1 the newly-formed Pan-Pacific Women's Association, and national president of the Y.W.C.A., at a j luncheon given in her honour at ! the Y.W.C.A. yesterday, and pre- ! sided over by Mrs. J. J. Bradstreet. Dr. Sweet spoke particularly of the 1 international spirit which was shown at the conference, and painted vivid pictures of the personalities of prominent conference figures, including the president, Miss C. M. Asch van Wyck, the Hon. Mrs. Waldegrave, retiring president: Madame Bertrand, Lady Proctor, Signora Rosei, Mrs. Luxmore, Miss Una Saunders, and many others. At the council meeting ' there were from 34 countries and new countries were received into membership. Since the previous meeting at Budapest a remarkable advance in understanding and sympathy had been made, resulting from the studv of '‘occuminism.’’ or the unitV of worldwide Christianity. . Several alterations to the constitution had been made at St. Cergne, but these did not affect the basis of the work, being merely to make the constitution more international, shorter, ’nd more flexible. The speaker referred to the next conference, which will take place in 1932, possibly in Peking, and said how essential it was that women should study intensively along international lines to prepare delegates to meet the problems that would confront them. i At the close of her address Mrs. : David Smith proposed a vote of thanks j to the speaker.

SOCIAL PROBLEMS WOMEN’S PART IN THEIR SOLUTION PAN-PACIFIC CONFERENCE Women's increasing part i world affairs, particularly as r«? fleeted in the recent Pan-Paeifi, Conference at Honolulu, formed the substance of an address in the University '.ecture Hall last even mg by Miss Eleanor M. Moore, of Melbourne, secretary to the Australian Delegation, who was passing through Auckland on her return. Mrs. E. W. Moore presided over the assembly, which was held under the auspices of the W.E.A. Introducing the speaker, the chairnan explained that Miss Moore was t prominent member of the journo W.K.A., also an active worker or tho advancement of women's in crests and for international peace' Women had a contribution to make oward solution of many world prob. ems of today, said Airs- Moor*-. There vas a mistaken impression that vomen should confine their interests nainly to the affairs of women and children. Women of Great Britain ind Australia were taking a mor6 prominent part in affairs than those if this Dominion. but there were dgn.s of awakening interest he*. IVomen should tit themselves to take in active part in the management of lie country. L "The recent conference was the second of its kind. ' said Miss Moore the iirst being held in 1925. Del,.’ jutes showed treat earnestness in del iberating on the many complex questions on the order paper. These ini duded Industry, public health, social ierviee. home economics, government, rhev were discussed by women from til nations bordering on the Pacific” Fhis, the speaker continued, was only >no of a number of women’s eorxfer?nces, others having taken place in Europe on international suffrage thn promotion of peace and freedom’ and >ther topics of world importance. What effect on women’s interests md on society generally were these ivomen’s movements having? asked Miss Aloore. She recalled that a ivomen’s conference In Sydnev in 1905 Tad affirmed 26 social reforms as desirable. Today all but two had bee.i Drought to pass and women had plaved 10 unimportant part in their enactment. The two which still required to t>e given effect to were, first, discontinuance of public borrowing, and se< - Dndly, settlement of international disputes by peace and arbitration. WOMEN AND MONEY Commenting on national finance the speaker remarked that if women earned on their housekeeping accounts is men managed the public purse their lusbands would straightaway put an advertisement in the Press disclaiming responsibility for their wives’ debt*. IVomen should be given opportunity to express their opinion on public fina'nct. Dn war? Well, when men and women got together for discussion of difficulties there was less violence. Miss Aloore was surprised to find what a large number of notable wom e r. had foregathered for the conference. There was that famous American, Jane Adams, who was president. She hid been voted by national plebiscite the most famous American, and was in tact a citizen of the world. Dame Rachel Crowdy, an investigator into opium problems, was another. The woman Alayor of Seattle had urged chat women take a more active pan l, r municipal affairs, and a woman rrom Adelaide told of the important 01 vie work being done by wome police in Australia. The Open-Air Circle, a women’s organisation of i? 1 ?. 0 succeeded in removing all hoardings and posters on the island tor tho preservation of Honolulu’s beauty. There was no law agains: posters, but the women simplv bovi otted goods advertised on bill'beards until tho manufacturers caught the spirit of the movement.' conclusion, Aliss Moore appealed that men should give a word and hand to women to encourage them to emuiato the great women of the world who had brought about so manv reforms enjoyed today.
