FOREIGN ISSUES
STUDIED BY D. A. R.
Aim Is to Get Viewpoint in
international Relations,
Says Mrs. Ray.

The foreign relations committee of
The Daughters of the American Rero-
luton Is not trying to make members
internationally minded but lis in
tently studying the problems of other
countries in order to get their view
point In our international relations"
Mrs. Eugene Ray of Louisville, KY, ma
tional chairman, said in statement
issued by the society yesterday.
The committee lis not propaganda
center for radical ideas as it has come
to be in some clubs Mrs. Ray said.
Its sole purpose LIS to further good re-
lations between people of different coun-
tries through mutual understanding and
to keep the organization in touch with
the best thought of other lands"
Mrs. Rays statement said that Eu-
ropean representatives to the United
States have found the heart and the
ideals of America in the assemblages of
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton in their continental congresses
that are held annually during the week
of April 49,"
LAS further evidence of the good re-
lations fostered with foreign countries"
said Mrs. Ray, the Daughters in a
practical demonstration of friendship to
Belgium gave great assistance in re-
that pride Of the Belgian heart which
had suffered ruthless violation. To
France, our war gift was a modern
water system to the village of Tilloloy
when that town was reconstructed.
THE ambassadors of all the republics
OF Europe have come before the au-
diences to relate their struggles for In
dependence and to testify that America
had been their inspiration and guiding
star. All of which convinces us that
foreign diplomats recognize our society
as most representative of America and
that we are doing our share In cultivat-
ing proper foreign relations"
