Junior Wants to Fly

JUNIOR wanted any kind of flight, even if he had to take it with someone else. Pride and record, and what he knew the family expected of him meant

that he would have to fly solo.

No matter what Junior thought about the difficulty of accommodating himself to one of these lowpowered jobs, he knew the family would never understand why he needed any such thing as a check-hop, or any piloting assistance from the civilian pilots. So He wasn't

My Day

LONDON.—On Wednesday afternoon, Lady Pet-hick-Lawrence and Mrs. Raymond Gram Swing came

" to call on me.

They evidently want to prevall on the economic and social council to set up a special commission composed of women which would not be considered as a specialized agency, but would have a closer relation-

ship to the council.

1 have not studied the question as yet, but it seems to me that any such non-governmental group, no matter how strong numerically, should still be considered, under the provisions already laid down, only

in a consultative capacity.

I can quite see that a commission representing many women’s organizations throughout the world might speak for a very. great number of women, but I think ‘they should be treated on the same basis as other specialized agencies. Otherwise, an infinite number of similar groups would be demanding special recognition and special privileges in their relationship to the ‘United Nations—a situation which would result

in chaos.

Should Have More Women

1 THINK we should make a very great effort to live up to the sections in the charter which provide for complete equality. I am sorry that governments in all parts of the world have not seen fit to send more women as delegates, alternates or advisers to the assembly, and I think it is in these positions that the women of every nation should work to see that

equality exists. }

I feel also that a variety of interests should be represented in every delegation.
