Commission Is Happy About Progress

always find some one to care for
their house and their children"
she explained.
Also, some governments have
gone much further than the
United States in establishing
nurseries for the children of
working mothers. Some govern
ments have nurseries run in con-
nection with government Offices,
for the children of women gov
ernment workers. It is part of
the states welfare program. The
mothers pay a very small fee."
Some factories-not as many
run nurseries too, she added,
and there also are private nur-
series available.
Long Way to Go
She leaves the commission
with "a very satisfactory feeling
that lot has been accomplished,
although We still have a long
way to 60" said the sonora.
One of the most effective me-
diums for prodding individual
government into granting more
rights to women, the commission
has found, is to strengthen the
women's clubs within country,
and urge them to act together as
a united front. Then, with the
women from within bombarding
it on one side, and the interna-
tional commission, which it
helped create, bombarding it
from without, a government US
ually succumbS in time.
No other American nation saw
the dramatic Suffragette battles
which took place in the United
States, and even more violently
in Britain, for the women's vote,
the sonora declared. In fact vot-
ing rights came to many South
and Central American women
before they had even decided
they particularly wanted them.
Future Goals
With the fight for political
rights largely won, the organiza-
ton is concentrating now on civil
and economic rights-equal con-
troll over children and family
fortunes, equal work for equal
pay, etc.-Said the Sonora.
The Mexican diplomat is an
energetic green-eyed blond widow
with three married children. Her
husband, who died eight years
ago, was director of the Mexican
National Museum.
Sonora de Ledon, who was a
doctor of letters in her own coun-
try, also is a well-kpown play
wright. She became interested in
welfare work in Mexico City in
1929, and has been active in one
or another such project ever
since.
She is very enthusiastic about
her forthcoming venture into the
field of general diplomacy. Il
think I am very lucky to be sent
to a country which already has
liberty and security-those things
that almost everyone else is
fighting for" she declared.
The Sonora also has written a
column for the Mexico City news
paper, Excelsior. She wrote three
columns week during her early
years as Mexican delegate to the
U. N, and hopes to resume the
column (probably just once a
week. from Sweden.

st admire so much the way
women in the United States man
age their lives. One minute a
woman is a servant, doing her
housework. Then she goes out

she is society figure-a gay

The remark was that of Sonora

The sonora has just concluded

is an official part of the Organi-
zation of American States.
One Country Had Vote
when the commission was
organized only one of the 81
member nations - the United
States - had given women the
vote" she said. To-day women
have full political rights in Is
American nations and partial
rights (they can vote in munich
pal elections) in two others,
Haiti and Peru"
Women still have no political
rights in Nicaragua, Honduras,
Paraguay and Colombia, she
said. although Paraguay is ex-
pected to change this in a year
or so.
The commission also is con-
cerned about the working status
of women, and is just complet-
ing a massive report on the sub
ject. complete with $50 wall
sized charts, for presentation to
the next general assembly of the
commission early next year.
Statistics for parts of the re-
port were hard to compile, and
probably are not very accurate,
the retiring chairman said re-
gretfully. These sections have
to do with work performed at
home by some women-machine
sewing and other handiWork
parceled out by factories in
some countries.
