Mexico City, Mex.--Mexican women
are preparing to take a hand In public

social and industrial evils and later
to make fight for political equality.
This is the program of the Mexican

The council does not believe that the
mass of Mexican women are at pres

hopes eventually to make them vital
political force. The present Mexican
government looks with favor upon
their efforts, according to Senorita
Elena Torres, general secretary Of the
council.
The feminist council has organized
groups to teach Mexican women how
their conditions may be improved in
dustrially and socially. The next step,
said Senorita Torres, will be Organiza.
ton OF woman workers in industry.
The council intends To bring the move
ment i'm contact with similar OrganiZa-
tons in other countries and to work
with the women of the world for peace
and disarmament. SenOi'ita Torres
predicts that Mexican women will ere
ate a new era of amicable relations
and more complete understanding
between Mexico and the United States.
