Miss Barnes Tells
Of YWCA Role
In Far East
By Frances Kuhn.
~The role of the Young Women’s
Christian Association in furthering
the efforts of Asiatic nations to es
tablish a democratic way of life
was outlined yesterday by Miss
lilaoe* Reid Barnes, president ofj
the World’s YWCA, in an address
at the 43d anuual luncheon meeting
of the Washington YWCA held at
the Mayflower Hotel.
The speaker, who visited Japan
following her election to the world
presidency last year, said that the
YWCA has a special responsibility
in regard to that country.
Although Japanese women have
for years exerted an indirect in
fluence on the policies of their coun
try, she pointed out, they now have
the vote and their first opportunity
to take an active part in national
affairs.
One of the objectives of the
YWCA, Miss Barnes said, is to give
the Japanese teachers a belief in
the value of the individual rather
than in the outward trappings of
democracy.
Relating her experiences in Japan,
Miss Barnes said they impressed
upon her the complete approval and
hunger of the Japanese women to
be with the people of the world.
She recalled *with emotion an inci
dent which followed her first talk in
Kobe, when a woman told her: “The
last time I was in this room, Tojo
stood where you stand now and an
nounced the fall of Pearl Harbor.
Today I have hope again.”
The United States is entrusted
with a peculiar power and a pe
culiar responsibility in respect to
Japan,” the speaker asserted.
"America has moved into a role
where it can be moving for good or
for tragic responsibility,” she em
phasized.
The speaker also discussed the
work done by the YWCA in China
and in India. In China, she de
clared, the YWCA has lived through
years of war and is always striving
to “change the bitter into the
sweet.”. In the new nations of In
dia and Pakistan, she added, the
YWCA is trying to keep the best of
the past with the birth of the new
future.
“Members of the YWCA are not
politicians,” she said, “yet in In
dia, as in this country, the responsi
bility is to fit free people to assume
| the responsibilities of building free
nations.”
Miss Barnes pointed out that the
I problem in India is that the Indian
YWCA members are “wise but too
few.” She declared that the work
ers are needed, not only in the cities
and industrial areas, but in the re
mote villages, and that the people
must be taught to write and read as
the first step on the road to na
tional freedom.
The luncheon was preceded by a
reception at which Mrs. Truman was
the honor guest. Receiving with the
First Lady were Miss Mabel R. Cook,
executive director of the YWCA in
Washington; Mrs. Howard G.
Nichols, president of the local as
sociation who presided at the lunch
eon; Miss Barnes, Mrs. Arthur For
rest Anderson, president of the na
tional board of the YWCA, and Mrs.
J. Birdsall Calkins, president of the
YWCAs in the United States.
In the distinguished group of
guests attending the luncheon were
the wives of justices of the Supreme
Court, cabinet members and mem
i bers of the diplomatic corps. Prior
! to Miss Barnes’ talk, reports on local
YWCA activities were presented.
