I Saw Mao Tse-tung: A New World Voyage (Delegate's report on the Conference of the Women of Asia, Peking)
Daily Worker, 17 April 1950: I saw Mao Tse-tung - delegate's report on the Conference of the Women of Asia, Peking
Page 5 of the Daily Worker (New York, 17 Apr 1950) carrying Betty Millard's first article on the Peking Conference of the Women of Asia, organised by the WIDF. She describes the train journey from Moscow with delegates including a Dutch woman active against arms shipments to Indonesia. OCR is garbled and the article continues on page 8 (not included); Indonesia appears only via the Dutch delegate.

Ia menggambarkan perjalanan kereta dari Moskow bersama delegasi, termasuk perempuan Belanda yang menentang pengiriman senjata ke Indonesia. OCR kacau dan artikel berlanjut di halaman 8 (tidak termasuk); Indonesia hanya muncul lewat delegasi Belanda.
