'crest hi Miss Maephltil's scheme, ae.
stated solemnly that his originiza,
tion welcomed women members of
parliaments and that there was no
tnex diecrilitination.
"All members of till parliaments
are eligible and we'eom to attend
the sessions of the interpariiamcnt-
my union;he said. "The fact that
they do not come as delegates slmp-
ly means that the parliamentary bo-
dies in which they are serving has
not seem fit to select them. However
there is no reason to regard them as
Unwelcome or undes.reble."

Geneva--- Canada, which. creat-
ed a precedent by having a woman
--Mrs, Mary Ellen Smith, of Van
.,ouver, as chief (delegate to the re-
cent International labor bureau
t:onference, and which produced
another woman, Miss Caroline Mac-
Donald, as the mouthpiece of the
J•apanesc Workers' delegation to the
stone conference, has developed n
third feminist in Miss Agnes Mac-
phail, who promises 't metoric career
erose international skies.
Miss Macphail, the lone woman
member of the Canadian parliament,
besides playing an important part in
the Tenth Assembly of the League
of Notions along with .other women
delegates, left Geneva the other day
with a revolutionary Mea.
If she succeeds in winning her
next election in Ontario— and she
should be able to do it on her Gen-
eva record alone— Miss Macphail
Pans a campaign to establish a wo-
men's interparliamentary union, pat.
terned after existing.interparliamen-
phail. "The fact that women ar
cornparatively new -corners in polit
ics, are not held flown by tradition
and red tape of par'iamentary pro
ceduros leads them to seek direc
routes to objectives. ? speak of the'
known viewpoints on such problem
os women in industry, the wool
peace movement and aceial and hum
anitarian problems."
Miss Macphail did not conceal the
fact that women are not likely to
have "superiority complexes" nor in-
feriority complexes, either for all of
that. That a women' interparliam-
entary union would "build a fire'
under certain existing institutions
and practises and ,m,'lce the men out
of their snug fastnesses, in which
they have rested secure for centur-
ies in governing spheres, was her
theory.
While the detailed structures of
a women' interparliamentary union
has not been worked out as yet,
many feminists leaders are interest-
ed in the idea. Lady Astor, the fire-
brand of the British parliament, who
like Miss Macphail is a "radical
conservative" has the plan much at
' heart. Mme. Emmy Freundlich, cel-
ebrated Austrian re unomist, Frau
Lang-Brumann, member of the Ger.
man Reichstag and a Geneva dele-
gate, Mrs. Mary Hamilton, M. P.,
substitute British Aeiembly delegate,
Mme. Thelma Hainari, Finnish al -

termite delegate and others enthns•
iiastirally approve the plan.
The growth, in the test ten year;,
• of the numbers of women elected to
national parliaments is starting.
There are no less then thirteen wo-
+ men in- the present :British parlia-
' ment ; Finland, with 200 in Perlis-
went, acknowledges at least ten per
cent„ or twenty w0111^11 members ;
there arc' more than a score of wo-
men in the German 'Reichstag and
practically every one of the four-
teen parties boast of women candid-
ates ; the Unitech St•ries has six wo-
men in congress including the three
Ruths—Bryan, Pratt and Hanna --
to use their best known names, Hol-
land, Austria, Poland, New Zealand.
Esthonia andl.ithuanin also can pro -
(lure n feminine tonal' in their laws
making. and govern%nr bodies while
in Czerho-Slovakia, where the "flap-
per vote" ,is enthusiastic and heavy
re ports indicate nae -fifth of the

where equal suffrage does not yet
exist, women are emu.d in both the
senate and chamber, 'lflle. Dejardin
