Washington, April 2S.-Lord
and Lady Astor came to Washing
ton today from Baltimore and
were guests at luncheon at the
capitol, spoke at the Natio/
Press club and later in the da/ Q.
tended a reception given by oS
Charles E. Hughes at Z > ,
American building for the
American Conference Of Won. IL
Tonight they attended a meeting
at Continental Memorial hall for
the Pan-American Women's con-
ference at which Secretary Hughes
was a speaker.
From the time of her arrival.
Lady Astor was the center of adj
miring groups. After the lunch
con at the capitol, where she was
the guest of Senator Swanson of
Virginia. her native state, and at
which she met the entire Virginia
delegation in congress. and the
members of the Virginia branch of
the National League of Women
Voters, she and Lord Astor were
guests Of the Press club, where
both spoke on national and inter-
national questions. After she had
spoken rather intimately" to the
newspaper correspondents, Lady
Astor was photographed shaking
hands with Representative Robin
son, the only woman member of
congress.
Women Are Misunderstood.
my view is Lady Astor said in
her address, chat the men must
look to the women for moral help
in their struggle to accomplish
worth while things. ] believe in
one moral law and | believe that
it is incumbent upon the women to
do their share in aiding the men
in their battles. Women are mis-
understood, ana it should be their
function to dispel this wrong idea.
Men will continue to mlSunder-
stand until they are made to un-
derstand. l recall during the war
my experience with Americans
who came across. They did not
understand conditions, of course,
when they arrived.
81 talked with crowd of fine
fellows. one day and ] called
spade a spade. They had their
pockets filled with money and /
knew what they had in mind.
said to them: "You fellows are
going out and perhaps drink too
much and perhaps flirt a little. but
in the morning you will have a
headache and regret the time vast
ed. You won't think it was a good
time at ALL ] talked so frankly
to those men that one big fellow,
with a solemn face, sided up to
me and said: Lady Astor, you
have ruined my holiday
This is the function of the
woman. If she makes herself un-
derstood and exercises the proper
influence. she will become q great
force in the world for good"
Compliments Press.
Lady Astor complimented the
American press on the thorough
ness and accuracy with which she
said the Genoa conference was be-
ing interpreted by American news
paper men attending the confer
ence. "+
"The conference" she said, "hae
not failed IT has made the world
know what the problems of Eu-
rope really are and what they
mean"
Lady Astor Is expected to be the
guest of Senator Swanson on the
floor Of the senate. TO which she
has the privilege as a member of
the British parliament.
