Petticoats Swish In Czech Cabinet Post

BY A. I. GOLDBERG

PRAGUE. Dec 31 — (AP) — Th? first swish of petticoat politics has been. in Czechoslovakian highest government circles with the ele- vation of Mrs. Ludmila Jankovcova to the post of minister of industry. Now the Communist women de- puties are reported just the teen-

match what their Social Democratic sister attained.

There are 25 women deputies in the Czechoslovak parliament. The Communists National Socialists six, the Social Democrats four, and the People's

one each. ,

Mrs. Jankovcova is a 50-year-old widow whose husband was killed in the underground resistance movement during the German oc- cugntion. She herself remained in the country at first trying to teach, and then forced into manual labor ill an electrical goods factory by the German occupiers.

Despite her rigorous experiences, she and her son. now l4 and still going to school. emerged safely from the was".

An economist, Mrs. Jankovcova became a career worker in the

ministry of industry. Meanwhile.

she kept‘ up her political work with

the Social Democratic party. When

the party at a recent congress, de-

cided to disentangle itself from the

Communists, it elected Bohumil

Lausman as its chairman and he

resigned as minister of industry to

give full time to the reconstituted

party.

Mrs. Jankovcova was promoted

to Lausman's old cabinet post wherc

she has the task of rounding out

the government's two-year indus-

trial plan and getting a start on the

five-year plan which is to get under

way in January, 1949.

The Communists have the social welfare and information posts, and others. and the girls have been ask- ing pointedly. it somewhat plaint- lvely why one of their number couldn't be entrusted with the social welfare post, at least.

The National Socialists. too, think that one of their women should get some higher honor. The deputy Mrs. Milada l-iorakova probably would be singled out for some honor as the first of that group. There has been some tel! of finding an sm- besssdori-i post for her.

Canada Assumes Bigger Bole In World Affairs

a, nose MUNIbO (Canadian Press‘ Staff Writer)

OTTAWA, Dec 31 (CF) Canada in 1947 took a determined stand in support of the rights of middle and small powers to participate in the peace settle- ments with Germany and Japan.

This diplomatic fight‘ reflected the Dominion’: groadened status in foreign affairs, despite failure so far to budge Russia in her opposition to such partictpaltion.

The Soviet Union is adamant that the big powers alone will write both treaties, as well as the Austrian settlement.

Early iii the year, Canada present- ed her case for participation in the German treaty-making to the deputies of the Council of Foreign Ministers meeting in London.

In the late winter and early spring at the Council of Foreign Ministers meeting in Moscow. Canada again, through the British and Urllted States delegations, urged that she and other middle and small powers who contributed to victory over Germany should have an adequate share in peace- making.
