holds a conference in Washington Some
delegates stay at the White House. The
fact that they do focuses attention not
only on them, but on their problem, the
protection of women in industry. 1t
indicates the interest of the First Lady
in that problem. 1t suggests the desira-
bility of other women becoming inter-
ested An object lesson in feminine CO.
operation to solve each others problems.
She regards the White House net as
a home in which she happens to be
living but as the home of the country,
and thus symbolic of Americas ideals
and aims. When she was asked, for
instance. If the school children would
be permitted to go through the White
House. she said that she only wished
that every American school child could
20 through it and be told. as he did So
that this was the place where his
country received the representatives of
other countries as honored guests. just
as his father received personal friends
in his own home. Once they got the
idea that foreigners could be consid-
cred honored guests at the White House
they might cease to think Of them,
as so many now do. as enemies.
At her conferences with newspaper
women one gets the impression that
Mrs. Roosevelt wishes these women to
cooperate with her in getting her OBJ
ject lessons across to the public. This
calling them No other President S
wife has ever held them. And one
cannot think that as busy a woman
as Mrs. Roosevelt would take an hour
or more weekly to give out society items
and itineraries and recipes-although
these are the items reporters usually
request.
Hardly an Accident.
1t was hardly accident that she, in
stead of the executive Office, gave out
the news that beer was to be served

wives everywhere: Yours is the priv
ilege of making such decisions. BY
these decisions you exercise real
power in determining the manners and
the morals of the land"
These are but a few instances OF the

First Lady to convey facts and ideas

activities. whether it be some charity
she has helpled. some meeting she has
formed, and you will find that some

Nazi Claim Assailed
By Italian Newspaper


ROME. 1taly.-The first openly ex-
pressed criticism from Fascist sources
OF the Hitler regime in Germany was
published in the newspaper Mattino of
Naples in the form of a long article
attacking the Nazi theory of racial
integrity and superiority of the German

Importance because of the fact that it

OF Race 1t would be impossible to
