WORLD FEMINISTS UNITE FOR PEACE

New York, Nov 14-The fad for foreign travel and the tremendous zest with which Americans at home view movies from other countries both have deeper meaning than mere enjoyment.
 Both are forces for peace, be- cause they make for understanding of those people living in other countries, which is the first step towards the death of wars.
 This is just a part of the peace message brought to the biennial congress of the Council of Women by the noted French feminist, Ma dame Drefus Barney.
 Fearful of Peace
 "The world was afraid of peace for fear it would mean super state,' Madame Dreyfus- Barney said. Now we see it means living our own life in our own country, but understanding others living theirs in their native heath. As Macdonald said, it is not alliances but understanding that the world needs, and is getting. Women must concern themselves with increasing this understanding, for they cannot have happy homes and joy in their children, with the possibility of war lowering over them. That is why we want to awaken women here to friendship for women abroad"
 Madame Drefus- Barney is a mem- Der of the League of Nations com mittee of experts. her especial field being international cinema, Her committee studies each country's l films:
 Whether or not the cinema is used in the schools for education, among working classes for social l education and aesthetic reasons, are directed by the government and with advantage or disadvantage. These are some of the questions Australia, South Africa, China write to ask Madame Dreyfus- Barney. For the movies give all countries a gratify- ing opportunity for knowing that they are a part of the world. The cinema committees usefulness in creases daily.
