peace of the world, in the opinion
of Lady Aston.
Britain's first woman member Of
parliament made the observation
during a conversation with the
United Press correspondent in which
she explained some Of her con-
tentions regarding International re-
lations, including the following:
l. That international discord
would be considerably reduced if
men were judged more by the quail

nationality.

man for his position. All I respect
is the amount of goodness that's In
him."

servatives SO angry with me at
