Page Four. THE SALEMITE Friday, February 14, 1936. FORMER INTER NATIONAL OFHCER OF Y.W.C.A. AT SALEM (CONTINUED FROM PACE ONE) othor international organizations with offices there. Up until that year the V. W. O. A. had had its oft'ioes in London, since it became an international organization in 1894. The interdependence of all inter national organizations required that the headquarters be moved to Ge neva for the sake of the “V.” as well as of other organization.s. After moving to Geneva the group became really international instead of mere ly Knglish and difficulties at once arose many of the members spoke different language.s and represented (otally different races and back grounds. In the last five years the.se differences have been bridged until all the menil)"i s function as one. In the world-wide organization of the “y.” are peoples as different as the Chinese, Xorwegian, and Argen tine and yet under the influence of the “V’ members of races with an cient hatreds between them have work(>d together in jn'ace toward a common end. In 1923 at a conference in Constantinople the delegates rep resented Moslem Turks, Greeks, Ar menians, Russian refugees and twelve other nationalities. The Moslem girls entertained the other delegates and were assisted by Armenian girls, members of a race for whom the Turks have only virulent hatred. In tho “Y. ” their ancient hate was overcome. In Esthonia the same jirincipal is true. Christian women of the three nationalities — German, Russian, Esthonian, between whom wars have been waged for centuries — united in the V. W. C. A. and endeavored to bring about a new spirit of Chris tianity to remold the country after the chaotic years following the war. Today members of these three na tionalities work together, ancients differences and hatreds put aside. In the work of the Y. W..C. A. not only Chinese and .lapanese peo ple have been brought together, but even Frenchmen and Germans have co-operated and reached a friendly understanding — but this has been done, not through a sentimental view point, but from an understanding of the real situation. Much of the discord among nations has come about through the habit of generalization, of personifying peo- I)le, forgetting that every nation is but made up of individuals. It is easy to love not only the .lapanese but the Chinese, too. Miss Nevin spoke of her great reverence for the Chinese as well as her love for the Japanese, wlio have a way of getting into the inner recesses of one’s af fections. The Japanese women are striving to keep alive the ancient beauty and culture of their race, even while they try to advance or kec]) abreast of the modern world, and “split personalities” are the rule among them. Japanese men on the whole are working for European effects. It is as there were two races in Japan — men and women. But the Y. W. C. A. has done a great deal in Japan in aiding Japanese w’omen to meet their problems and face their world bravely. In closing Miss Niven sjxike of the part of the college girl in adopting a right attitude toward foreign girls on the campus •— an attitude of friendship and love and an attempt to share with them a hich heritage — and of the great mission before women today. A Frenchwoman, at a recent disarmament conference spoke of “moral disarmament; ” this phase expresses the freeing of minds from prejudices of anything that sets up a wall to hide the truth. This moral disarmament must be effected if there is to be peace and it must be effected through a love of Christ spread by women who are not only idealists, but also realists. Christ said all men, all nations, were mem bers of one family. Is it not unfor tunate that family quarrels should go on so long? SALEM ALUMNAE MEET IN LIBRARY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) for Salem. The favor of the College to the Alumnae is the placement of fice of the college for positions for the graduates, as well as the refresh ing contacts made by and among Alumnae visiting Salem.
