BY CORINNE FRAZIER. HE three major recommendations of the committee on interna- tional action of the National ‘Woman's Party presented to the biennial convention which closes ‘here tomorrow with a delegation to President Hoover, asking his support of the equal rights amendment, have been acted upon favorably by the assembled delegates, and so become a part of the intern: al program of the American feminists. ‘They include acceptance of an invitation to affiliate with the Open Door International; agreement to pro- mote acceptance by all nations of the “equal rights treaty,” and agreement 1o urge complete revision of laws con- cerning nationality of women at The Hague conference on codification of in- ternational law, next Spring. The nationality issue, previously dis- cussed at length, in reality marks the first. concrete step toward gaining ac- ceptance of the all-comprehensive treaty, which provides that “the con- tracting states agree that, upon the ratification of this treaty, men and ‘women shall have equal rights through- out the territory subject to their re- spective jurisdictions.” “Once women gain equal status as citizens the world over,” sald Miss Mabel Vernon, executive secretary of the Woman's Party, discussing the issue, “they will find the way opening to successful negotiations for equal rights in every respect.” The feminists heard encouraging re- rts from London, England, at the ternational session of the biennial yesterday, regarding the work being done by the six point group for the equal rights treaty. A message was read from Mrs. Helen A. Archdale, member of the executive board of the English group, reporting progress made in September, when the British ‘women asked consideration of their treaty by the statesmen at the Geneva session of the League of Nations. ‘The English women who presented the equal rights treaty (five members of the six point group,) reported Mrs. Archdale, “had more success than we had dared hope. Everybody received us =0 politely and we ended with eight countries promising support ‘and two promising to introduce it (the treaty) and otherwise engineer the whole affair. I can scarcely believe it's true.” ! Decision to join the open door in- ternational means that the Woman's Party will work with other national groups to secure for women “freedom to work and be protected as a worker ©on the same terms as a man.” ‘The international is, of course, di- Tectly opposed to protective legislation, 1ts object being, in addition to what is here quoted, to see that “legislation and ~ {regulations dealing with conditions and hours, payment, entry and training shall be based upon the nature of the ? work and not on the sex of the worker, ‘and to secure for a woman, irrespective of marriage or childbirth, the right at all times to decide whether or not she shall engage in paid work and to insure no legislation or regulations shall deprive her of this right.” * k% % LANS for a Nation-wide celebration of the tenth anniversary of woman suffrage, designed to commemorate, first of all, the achievements of the early suffrage leaders, have been announced by the National League of Women ‘Voters through its Washington head- first step a national roll of henor, made up of the woman leaders of this country who worked to make it effective, is to be established and a memorial fund to be raised in their honor. 8o far the chairman of the plan, Mrs. lwards of ., has the plan, though five out of six of these States have never ratified the suffrage amendment. In many other parts of the country the idea has gripped the imagination of those who are determined that early Jeadership in a more active participa- tion in Government shall not be lost to future generations. State commit- tees have been formed from the Atlan- tic seaboard to the Pacific. Some of these have been s0 impressed by the lan of memorializing early leaders that {Iuy have not only made nominations for the nationa! roll of honor and pledged their States to raise at least $1,000 for each name proposed, but they have set up State rolls of honor. These will include women respected and beloved in their own States, but not sufficiently well known for nation- al recognition. These State lists will be supplementary to the national roll of honor. Both are part of the plan to establish & memorial fund, the in- terest of which is to be used to carry on the work of education, for which the League of Women Voters is or- ganized. * x ok ¥ MANY nationally prominent club- women have been appointed to the various subcommittees of the White House Conference on Child Welfare, composed of 500 men and woman of all parts of the country, named by Presi- dent Hoover to engage in a 12-month study of child welfare problems, and to report to him at the end of that time, so that a general program of m‘v:;Ue health protection may be out- Among those who gathered in Wash- ington Friday to organize the work of the subcommittee on recreation and | headed by Col.! physical education, Henry Breckinridge of New York, were five women known throughout the country for their constructive work as leaders in club and community life and as recreation experts.

PARIS (N.AN.A.).—Next year Italy will celebrate the bi-millinery of the birth of Virgil. The celebration will, for the most part, take the form of the opening of a Virgillan wood stocked with all the trees, shrubs and flowers mentioned in the Eclogues, the Georgics and (though less frequently) in the Aeneld. ‘The park will be laid out on part of acres of land already have been granted for the purpose by the authorities near the village of Pietole, Vi birthplace. Moreover, though the bi-millinery does not fall until October 15 next, the lead- ing citizens of Mantua have already met in discussion of the scheme. ‘The “Lucas Virgilianus” is no means a new idea. It occurred to Vittor- ino Da_Feltre, the famous humanist, as far back as 1400; the project was brought up again by Gen. Miollis, the French governor of Mantua, in 1797, and by Giacomo Boni, the archeologist, in 1910, when he recommended the scheme to the Royal Virgilian Academy. The park is to be dedicated by Sig- nor Arnaldo Mussolini, brother of the premler. (Copyright, 1929, by North American News- Daper noe.)
