FOR AID TO EUROPE

Lake Success, N. Y.-The Unit

Council has given its final ap-
proval to the creation of ma
chinery to aid in the economic
reconstruction of the War-deva-
stated areas of Europe and the
Far East.
This action, generally conceded
to be the most important ever
taken by the council, provides for
two commissions, one to work ex-
clusively in Europe and the 9TH
er in Asia and the Far East.
Some delegates expressed the
belief that these two bodies, while
planned primarily as reconstruct
ton agencies, would eventually
become permanent commissions
engaged in long-range planning

NAA(p Make Protest
On Discrimination

These are historic times when
our nation is just trying to get its
breath from it's struggle of years
of war, which cost us so many mil
lions in lives and money. So many
mothers, fathers, sisters and BROTH
ers, wives and husbands lost their
loved ones who made the supreme
sacrifice helping to make this great
state of Arizona safe place for all
people to live. Right under the
shadow of this great conflict some
of our American citizens (not loyal
ones) are trying to- infringe upon
the constitutional rights of other
citizens by trying to pass restrict
i've covenant laws in our state. This
is a shame and a disgrace to Ari-
Zona. Desirable American citizens
should be allowed to own and live
in homes wherever they are able
to pay and should get protection
under the law from our officers
regardless what their race, creed
or religion, may be.

Baha'i Convention

Wilmette, ILL.,, May line Ihlr-
ty-Ninth Annual Baha'i Conven-
ton opened here this morning with
an attendance of four hundred del
egates and members, including Ba-
ha'is of the American Indian, Ne
gro and Oriental races.
Dorothy Baker of Lima, Ohio,
and Horace Holley of Wilmette,
were elected officers of the four
day Convention.
Principal items of Interest re-
ported were: the number of coun-
tries having members of the Faith
is now 83, and the number of Ian
guageS in which Baha'i literature
is printed is now At. Permanent
Baha'i endowments in North Anne
rica exceed 100000. Formal le-
gal steps are being taken by Mr..
and Mrs. L. w. Eggleston to trans
fer to Baha'i Trustees for use as an
educational institution tract of
land with buildings, near Flint,
Michigan. Another new Bahai ed
ucational center has been eStab-
lished this year in the Luarentian
area of the province of Quebec.
The annual budget, according to
Philip C. Sprague, Treasurer, has
exceeded $25O,OO0 since May 1, last
year. New local Baha'i Assemblies
have been elected in over twelve
cities of the United States and Can
ada. Two state legislatures, Mas
sachusetts and Minnesota, have
adopted statutes giving civil status
to marriages conducted by the pre-
siding officer of a Bahai Assem-
bly,.
A message cabled by Shoghi Eff
fendi, Baha'i world Guardian,
stressed the Importance of effort
to establish the teachings in Eu-
rope where irreligion has swept a
continent into the maelstrom of So
cial impotence.
Messages of greeting were re-
ceived also from Baha'is of Persia
Italy, Luxembourg, Germany.
Later sessions will view prelimi-
nary designs for the interior orna-
mentation of the Bahai Temple
and consider reports on the prog
ress of teaching work in Latin
America, Western Europe anc
North America.
This Convention is the last /ir
which Canadian Baha'is are to be
represented, as the Canadian mem
berS will form their own National
Baha'i Assembly next year.
