Getting
Along
By LAUREN WHITE

NEW YORK, (Global) - wen
have always paid a terrific price
in order that they might misuse
and abuse others. In order that
men might take advantage OF
women, they allowed laws to exist
that reduced their own wives,
daughters and mothers to little
more than vassals. A hundred
years ago, in our own United
States, women were not allowed
to own or take charge of the wages
they earned. Up until 1920 women
could not vote they were IN
class with criminals, illiterates and
idiots. Foolish, headstrong, over
bearing men prevented their ex-
ercising franchise that is the heri-.
tage of all Americans.
Intelligent, courageous women
always resented their inferior posi-
ton. One Elizabeth Cady Stanton
decided to do something about it.
One day she showed a friend,
Henry Bayard a bracelet her faith
er had given her for Christmas. On
seeing it, Bayard remarked, "In
due time you should be my wife,
those ornaments would be mine. l
would lock them up and you would
not wear them except with my
permission. I could exchange them
for a cigar and you could watch
them evaporate in smoke"
Elizabeth Cady Stanton never
forgot those words, nor her infer
ior position and on July 19, 1848
she called a Woman's Right Con-
vention in Seneca Falls, New York.
From that convention movement
started that has resulted in many
of the rights that women now en-
joy.
Small, petty men opposed the
advancement of women as they
now oppose the advancement Of
Negroes. Often, in thinking of the
struggles women had to gain a
measure of citizenship, one might
compare it to the struggle Negroes
are having. They have the same
opposition. Fearful, ignorant men,
looking for some one to fisuse are
against citizenship for either. The
price they paid for opposition to
Iwomen's rights years ago was a
tye of slavery for their own wom-
enfolk. The price that will be paid
for the opposition to first-class
citizenship for Negroes is great
damage to our way of life.
When we see evidence that no
Asian nor African completely trusts
the intentions of Americans, we
know why. When our diplomats
wonder why Nehru will not COM
