Those in attendance at the hearing are charged with being representatives of the convention as a whole to discuss and decide upon actions regarding the work of the Foreign Division. Representatives from the Philippines, the Netherlands, China, Brazil, Syria, Lebanon, Estonia, France, Belgium, Egypt, and India give a brief description of YWCA work in their countries, opportunities for more work, and how they were affected by the war.
