The Golden Jubilee Congress of the International Women's Union in Ceylon

مؤتمر اليوبيل الذهبي للاتحاد النسائي الدولي في سيلان

• The Golden Jubilee Congress of the International Women's Union was held in Ceylon on the seventeenth of last August. Mrs. Wadia Khartabil, president of the Palestinian Women's Union, traveled from Beirut to attend this congress and to set forth the refugees' question at full length. A large number of family and friends saw Mrs. Khartabil off at the international airport, wishing her success in the delicate national mission she has been delegated to defend and to lay before world public opinion.

Besides Mrs. Khartabil, this congress was attended by women delegates from all the countries of the world, among them representatives of the Egyptian, Syrian, Iraqi, and Jordanian Women's Unions. May the word of the Arab women delegates unite, then, in taking up the defense of the refugees' question, which has become the question of every zealous Arab woman.
