Paris Envoy to
Pleases
U. S. Delegates
Regard Action of French
Government as the Most
Important Since the
Congress Was Planned
Nj. Codart Is Selected
Former Cabinet Member
Under Painleve: Women
Asked Man Appointee
By Constance Drexel

PARIS, May 3l.-The news tina. the
French Government had appointed an
official delegate to the World Suf-
trage Conference at Geneva. beginning
June s, greeted the American dele
cation Of women in Paris to day. The
Importance of the announcement was
enhanced by the prominence of the
appointee. who is Justin Godart. mem
Der Of the Chamber of Deputies. and
formerly Under Secretary for Public
Health under Premier Painleve
NJ. Godart left the cabinet in 1917,
but was sent with the French High
Commission to the United States, where
he spoke in the summer of 1918 at
many public meetings. NJ. Godart is
President of the Parliamentary Com
mittee of 106 members constituted by
the woman's rights parliamentar
group, recently formed for the pur-
pose Of promoting womans suffrage
bill. The bill passed the Chamber last
year, but at present is blocked in the
Senate.

frage, when asked why the French
government did not appoint woman.
replied: awe asked the Foreign Ofice
pleased We consider it more ap-
propriate for R man to be appointed
as French women have no suffrage
rights at all as yet"
This is probably the most notable
official recognition of the Importance
of womens participation in interna-
tional affairs yet shown. The United
States has. appointed Mrs. Josephus
Daniels and the British government

The American delega ton IS occupied

acquainted with French finances. The
Auctuation of French exchange makes
it virtually impossible for a mere

thing costs in American dollars. You

The French government IS turning
out paper bills to take the place Of
franc pieces, but they still are very
scarce. and postage stamps are resorted
to in all shops and by taxi drivers If the
latter can be persuaded to part with
any change whatever.
However, the American women in the
suffrage delegation. most Of whom have
not been in Europe since before the
war, are fast rallying their arithmetic
and patience to cope with the intrica-
cies of French money, and are no longer

In Industry Demanded
Organization Being Planned in
Convention Here to Pro.
mote Wider Training

Industry needs efficient workers, and
the only hope Of getting them in suffi-
cient number is through industrial ed
ucation on wide scope, say delegates
to the eighth annual convention of the
National Association of Corporation
Schools which began at the Waldorf
Astoria yesterday. The association is
planning an organization which will
produce executives as we'll as laborers.
We must educate everyone connect
ed with Industry said W. W. Kincaid,
Of the Spirella Company, Inc, Of Nj
agara Falls, N. Y, president of the as
soclatlon, IN his opening address. The
American Institution of Industry and
Commerce will be organized Friday to
carry out the educational plan.
The report of the committee on pub
lic education, presented by c. E. Shaw,
of the Dennison Manufacturing Com
pany, Of Framngham, Mass, declares
the public schools could do far more
for industrial America than they are
at present, but that the education
problem is also one for industry it
self
F. C. Henderschott, of the New York
Edison Company, managing director of
the association, and A. S. Donaldson,
chairman of the New York chapter,
were other speakers.
