WISPers Abroad

A WISP is a WISP is a WISP in Los Angeles, in New York, in Washington, in Oslo. Indeed, everywhere!

Linus and I went to Belgium in November to attend the Solvay Chemistry Congress (he is a member of the International Solvay Committee) and to receive for Linus a degree, doctorem honoris causa, from the Free University of Brussels.

We saw many friends and colleagues and peace workers, including M. Edouard LeGhait, the author of the excellent book "No Carte Blanche to Capricorn: the Folly of Nuclear Strategy."

We had lunch with Queen Elizabeth of Belgium, who had just returned from a trip to China. She said she had wanted to see for herself what is happening in China. She wished, too, to learn about the peace movement in the United States and so had invited us to lunch.

This was a pleasure; and may I say that the Queen, who is eighty six, is a WISP in spirit if not in actuality.

Then what surprises in Oslo! Linus gave a lecture at Oslo University on his recent scientific work on hemoglobin. There was a WISP reception with many friends and former students and WILPF friends of long standing. Bente Lund presented us with a booklet containing a summary of the WISP Oslo activities. I replied with a short thank you speech and Linus and I then answered questions until 11:00 P.M. There was much interest in the WILPF Conference in Asilomar and in the Voice of Women Conference in Montreal, as well as enthusiasm and admiration for U.S.A. WISP. I shan't describe the delicious food and drink, which is an important part of every Norwegian reception.

The following evening (November 15) we both spoke in the Nobel Peace Institute under the auspices of the Oslo Peace Council, which is a united organization of the ten Norwegian peace groups, including WISP. Again our subject was Activities for Peace in the United States. I showed the WSP advertisement We Are Angry Women. I discussed the political activities of women, the peace candidates in our recent election, the various congresses - WILPF in Asilomar, VOW in Montreal, the WSP meetings - and the various activities during the Cuban crisis. Linus discussed the imperative need for a nuclear test ban treaty and for general disarmament with international controls and inspection and the progress that is being made toward that goal.

We were made happy by the spirit of friendship and enthusiasm: and we bring hearty greetings from the WISP in Oslo to all of their friends and coworkers in the United States.
