uon--s mere important need. which
the women of Europe call upOu you

ton Of the means to prevent the pos

Complicated Problem.
This problem Is unfortunately o
much more complicated and difficult
one when seen at close range. from
the very center Of the storm, than
when viewed from across the ocean
We are hampered here In Europe by
wide divergence Of mentality Of
age-old traditions and by the existing
chaos from which you in America dc
not suffer We listen with admiration
tc the splendid. precise and definite
programs which your peace parties
have been able to draw up, but We ac-
knowledge sadly that under the cir
cumstances surrounding us on the Eu
ropean continent they would be i'm
possible for us TO adopt
And yet peace must be prepared
anG the Nomen Of Europe must un
deftake this preparation here. But
they must do 1t Ia their own way and
iu accord with the many different

ctr program may therefore seem
10 yor very simple. almost rudimen-
tary. possibly lacking In decision and
"a boldness. But II you will think Of
Z. Il Is in reality a very courageous
thing which we have undertaken to-
declare war against war amongst peo-
pics who are under the spell OF the
giories of militarism: to spread the
doctrine of raternal love and iudul-
gence where human hate is rampant
Ia work for tnternatonalism among
those whose souls are aflame with
national patriotism to teach the
value Of individual effort when lndi-
vidual right has never been at so great
"a discount Is IL not a great, brave
task and one for which united wom-
anhood is peculiarly fitted7
To IichufH Rained World.
There are many things which We
believe in, which we could not incof-
porate in our program because we
must first unite upon basis OF hu
manity and not of human opinions.
We are therefore starting out in a
ruined world. content TO begin humbIv
preparing the ground and sowing the
seeds OF peace 20 try and counter-act
the evil which makes war possible
and 20 suppress the frightful bitter
ness which as the inevitable after
nath OF war does more than aught
else TO impede mutual progress. We
are content to begin humbly at the
very bottom because we believe that
it IL the only beginning possible TO us;
but We expect step by step to arrive
together at a wise understanding of
the deep and mysterious causes OF
war and a comprehension of what Is
necessary to establish and maintain
peace We expect to cooperate In a
realization which shall grant lndivid-
ua! rights and national rights and
shall make of the palace OF peace
(now closed and mocked In all the
beauty OF It's insprationl a temple of
justice whore rational difference

trlhnnal, TO whose decisions all man
Kind shall bow. We believe that
united womaphood holds the key and
the power, that we must learn to-
gether how TO use them.
