the address of the General Arab Women's Union.

In reply to the two addresses, Mrs. Kala Devi delivered an eloquent speech in which she thanked the women of Lebanon for their warm welcome and their esteem for her. She then spoke at length of the women's renais-sance in India. Among what she said: "The Indian woman was not compelled to struggle to obtain her political rights, because she was struggling and striving for the independence of her country side by side with her countrymen." When India won its independence, it was only natural that the Indian woman should share with the Indian man the fruits of the sacrifices they had made together, and that

she should obtain her political and social rights like any other right. She then touched on the important role the Indian woman plays today in the advancement of her country: she works in every field — political, social, artistic, economic, literary, educational, and scientific — with complete devotion and sincerity, doing fruitful work that stirs admiration and appreciation.

Replying to Mrs. Tabet on the subject of Mrs. Kala Danfra, the one who claimed to represent India at the Geneva international congress, Mrs. Kala Devi said that all the women's organi-zations in India, including the All-India Women's Conference, had resolved not to affiliate with any international women's body

and not to send anyone to rep-resent them at any international congress held by these bodies, and that they had cut off their membership in the International Women's Union years ago. The said lady has not entered India for ten years and represented no one but herself, and we must not condemn India and India's policy on the strength of a statement made by an irresponsible person who represents no one but her-self, like Mrs. Kala Danfra. She closed her speech by inviting the women of Lebanon to visit India, and she also hoped to encourage the exchange of visits among the Eastern countries as an impor-tant step toward understanding and cooperation.
