The West learned much that is
informative and inspiring from
three attractive young women from
the East, when representative
from the Philippines, one from
Siam and a third from China yes
terday discussed the status OF
women. in their countries before
members of the Washington Club.
The auditorium was thronged to
capacity with members who brought
guests to hear the panel discussion
in which participants were Miss
Elvira Llanes, who spoke for the
Philippines, Mrs. S. c. Wong, rep
Iresentative of China and DR.. Dit
hakar Bhahdi, who. told of the
women of Siam. Mrs. Mark Eldredge.
club program chairman who lived
many years in India, served as mod
orator of the panel as well as
speaker for India. The young
woman who was to have repre-
sented India, DR.. Hirabi Jadannath
JOSH, was unable to attend.
DR.. Bhahdi, wife of former
charge d'affaires of the Siamese
Legation and a graduate of Gou-
cher College and of the Johns Hop
kins Medical School, said that
women of the West entertained false
ideas of their sisters of the East
when they believed they were
suppressed" by their men.
"Only the women of Japan and Of
India have to be submissive and
kowtow to their masters" she de-
clared hunorously. In Siam, she
continued, it Is women who control
the purse strings, manage the house
hold and even support their fami-
lies If the men are unable to do so.
There have been Siamese women
rulers and even Siamese women
warriors, she added.
Mrs. Wong, a graduate of Wes-
leyan College, Macon, Ca, and also
of Columbia University, now in
Washington with her husband,
chairman of the Chinese Supply
Commission, described the work
of Chinese women during the war
as we'll as their participation in
the life of the nation today.
All Chinese women worked during
the war, Mrs. Wong said, not only
contributing to national needs but
supplementing family budgets, dras-
tically reduced through China's long
siege of war and suffering.
The attractive Chinese woman,
attired in native costume, showed
a keen sense of humor throughout
her talk, presenting many lighter
sides of the grim war picture.
She apologized for some of the
Chinese embroidery which, she said,
had been brought home by GI
souvenir collectors.
Many women were obliged to
take up embroidery to support their
families" she explained. Their
work was not too good, besides the
GIs moved so fast; it was necessary
to do the work quickly"
In more serious vein, Mrs. Wong
told of the eagerness of Chinese
boys and girls for education, de-
scribing classes which she taught in
a factory during the war with three
evening classes a week. Students
would arrive long before class hours
and remain until she had to remind
them gently it was time to go home,
she commented.
Chinese women, Mrs. Wong said,
now are entering professions in in
creasing numbers with many already
enjoying a reputation as. leaders in
medical and legal circles. Progress
siveness among the women of her
country is not new, the speaker de-
clared. She explained how her
mother in law, who would be 80
years old if living today, had pio-
neered among women, campaigning
in her day for abolishing the Gus
tom of binding girls feet as we'll as
