how discussions during sessions re

vealed that many delegates would

gladly welcome appeals from

women’s organizations in the United

States being sent to the different

governments for consideration of

constitutional amendments favor

Miss Cannon said, voiced the hope

that women’s groups would send

messages to the Provisional Presi

Bolivian women be permitted to

vote in forthcoming elections to be

held in that country.

A humorous angle to the equal

rights question was related by Miss

Cannon as told to her by the Cuban

delegate. Although Cuban women

have equal suffrage with men, the

Cuban delegate said this equality

Sharing honors with Miss Cannon

on the program was Julian Zier of

the Pan-American Union staff, who

reviewed the history of the Pan

bers to attend the Latin American

programs held every Sunday after

noon at the Pan-American Union.

Miss Zada Daniels was in charge

of the program and introduced Mr.

Zier. Miss Cannon was introduced
