The Interparliamentary Union had
It's inception in Paris in 1889, or
whereabouts, and is composed of
representatives from the various
parliaments of the world. Its find
ings and rulings are unofficial and
the governments of the countries
represented are in no way respon-
ssble. 1t is an unofficial attempt
by officials to come to universal
understanding.
Two years ago the union, 1t will
be recalled, held it's meetings here
at the Capitol, which brought to
washington an interesting and cos
mopolitan group. The union meets
annually.
