A—4 wew FEMNT UTLOOK OV SESSON Both Strong and Weak Notes of Optimism Struck at Discussion. Both strong and weak notes of optimism for the future of “feminism” were struck last night as a group of women prominent in political and professional life led a panel discus- sion on the subject before the League of Women Voters. Feminism—the doctrine embracing the ecomplete equality of women wite men—also received a number of other definitions as the speakers viewed the subject from many angles and painted various philosophical, pessimistic and “tight-lipped” pictures of its future. “What we have done to prove we are better ‘men’ in business and politics,” said Mrs. Emily Newell Blair, chairman of the Consumers’ Advisory Board, “has been to so con- vince men of our ability that they will now listen to and respect the ideas of women. Having shown this, we have reached the second stage where we can make our contribution 2s women. Can Raise Living Standard. “We do have a contribution to make, and that is to raise the stand- ard of living. We must interest ourselves more in determining just what the standard of living shall be while the men figure out ways and means of supporting the standard.” Mrs. Blair said there are two kinds of feminism. The one which holds that women should be equal to men by allowing them to do things exactly like men and have the same oppor- tunities, she said, confuses the terms equality and identity. In the other brand, she said, women have an equality in that the things they do are of equal value and of equal im- portance. This type, she said, holds that women have a distinct contribu- fion to make, and does not confuse identity and equality. A somewhat pessimistic viewpoint as to woman’s place in the professions was expressed by Miss Martha Strayer, newspaper woman. Asserting she was speaking from a reportorial point of view and would not attempt to edi- torialize, Miss Strayer simply raised a few questions such as “Do women have as good judgment as men in profes- sional work? Do we approach things the way men do? Have we the back- ground necessary in certain profes- sions? Future Held Conjectural. “The future of women, as I see it, is conjectural,” she went on. “For one thing, women have to spend too much time dressing nowadays.” Touching a humorous note, Miss Strayer said she favors a 30-hour- work week divided equally between man and wife—"in order that man’s span of life may be increased and the quality of the family improved.” Miss Levinia Engle, sociologist and a member of the Maryland State House of Delegates, expressed the be- lief that what lies ahead for women depends entirely upon the tempo of the coming generation, the social and economic bases of future society. ‘Whether the competitive basis of the present civilization must be scrapped is a question, she said. She added that if one speculates enough, one can arrive at many conclusions. Miss_Mary Anderson, chief of the Labor Department’s Women’s Bureau, spoke from the point of view of the working woman and stressed the be- lief that the standard of lving must be increased for this class. She de- clared, however, the living standard of women as a whole must be raised be- fore this can be accomplished. Following the formal talks, Mrs. Elizabeth Friedman, who presided over the panel, called upon members of the league to express their opinions as to the future of women in business, political and economic life.

TREES PLANTED INPOETS CARDEN Shakespeare Plot in West Potomac Park Begun by Local Grouo. In a corner of the rose garden in | West Potomac Park yesterday after- noon, wives of nearly 20 Senators and Representatives gathered to officiate at the planting of trees given by Gov- ernors of the States as the nucleus of il Shakespearean garden. Yesterday was the anniversary of the birth of the Bard of Avon and there was a forcible reminder of Strat- ford-on-Avon, the provincial town in the Midlands of England, where he was born. Mrs. S.

Then, she scattered rose petals that came from Stratford- on-Avon. She also presented a sun- dial for the garden. Arno B. Cammerer, director of the National Park Service, participated in the ceremony, as did C. Marshall Fin- nan, superintendent of the National Capital parks, and August H. Hanson, landscape architect for the local parks. After the tree planting, the party went to the Folger Memorial Library, built in honor of Shakespeare, to do the master further honor. Mrs. Joseph W. Byrns, wife of the Speaker, on behalf of Tennessee, planted a tulip tree. Mrs. Marcus A. Coolidge planted an ash tree from Massachusetts. Mrs. James Couzens planted a pine from Michigan. Others were Mrs. Charles F. McLaughlin of Nebraska, an elm; Mrs. William J. Bulow of South Dakota, an olive tree; Miss Versie Frazier of North Dakota, rosebushes; Mrs, Henry W. Keyes of New Hampshire, mountain ash; Mrs. Sol Bloom of New York, a mountain ash; Mrs. Edward C. Moran of Maine, an elm; Mrs. Frank Carlson of Kansas, & cherry tree; Mrs. Isabella Greenway of Arizona, an elm; Charles Jackson of South Carolina, a white oak; Mrs. Arthur B.
