Until the American Youth Con-
gress purges itself of its Commu-
nistic elements which, according to
the Dies Committee, dominate it,
I shall not request any Republican
to attend a meeting of your organi-
zation.
"I would not personally partici-
pate in meetings of the American
Youth Congress, as now constituted,
and I would not ask another to do
what would not do
Mr.. Hamilton added that Gin say
ing this I do not mean to reflect on
the several very fine and really
American organizations of youth
affiliated with the American Youth
Congress-"

Mrs. Roosevelt Presides at Meeting Of
Woman Leaders at White House

scribed the place of women on the
American scene and explained that
women today have simply sought
out and taken over in the world
what they used to do in the home.
She referred particularly to nursing,
clothes-making, teaching, clerical
work and social service.
Only in the business world where
the profit motive is introduced,
she said, women are not interested.
Even Mrs. Roosevelt, she added,
with all her energy would not be
able to turn it into profit-making.
She referred to the Fascist idea
that woman's place is in the home
as "picturesquely imbecile," since,
she said, there is nothing for women
to do in the home any more.

women's work of the N. Y. A., de-
scribed the various phases Of the
N. Y. A. program as it affects wom-
en-, and pointed out that the stu
dent aid program keeps in school
many young women who otherwise
would be on the labor market.
The average girl on N. Y. A., she
said, is 10 years old and two-thirds
of these girls have never before been
employed.
