GENERAL

MME. CHIANG KAI-SHEK ADDRESSES CONFERENCE OF WOMEN LEADERS

Definite Programme To Be Formulated

FOR CO-ORDINATING WOMEN'S

EFFORTS FOR THE COUNTRY

Madame Chiang Kai-shek brought together recently in Bankow 30 prominent leaders in women's work throughout China for a five- day conference concerning the life and work of women during the war. Dr. Wu 1-tang, president of Ginling College, the celebrated American educational institution in Nanking, was vice-chairman of the meeting.

From the conference was expected a definite programme for the strengthening of the women's part in the resistance against the in- vaders, and the improvement of women's life generally in China."

Madame Chiang's opening ad- sary to devise a pational pro- dress was as follows:
