CAN THEY PREVENT WAR?
THOUGH Wellington women found it a little difficult recently to organise themselves on domestic issues, Miss Jean McKenzie, who was New Zealand’s first woman delegate to a UNO conference, and who returned last month on a visit to the Dominion, believes that on a world front they would, if they set out to fit themselves for the task, find it in their power to prevent a recurrence of world war. To do this; however, she said that women must train themselves to think internationally and not be restricted in their outlook by political or personal prejudices. Of the women. delegates to the London conference, Miss McKenzie was most impressed by Mrs. Roosevelt, who had taken a prominent part in discussions on refugees
and displaced persons. Another prominent personality among the women delegates was Miss Minerva Bernardino, who represented the Dominican Republic. As president of the PanAmerican women’s organisation, she had already done a great deal of valuable work in Latin-American countries. France had Mme. Marie Lefaucheux as one of its representa= tives, and Miss Ellen Wilkinson, British Minister of Education, was also a delegate. 7 The sketches which we reprint on this page have just reached New Zealand. They were drawn at. the conference by Emil Weiss, for the "Christian Science Monitor."
