Mrs. Story's View of Afiliation.

Asked for her personal opinion on
this proposed utilization. Mrs Story
sd id The u y. r. is the greatest
organization of women in the world.
1t stands primarily for patriotism and
there is no patriotism equal to what
~ can do for the people of the coun-
Try. This organization should be
part of all the big movements of the
times. It should affiliate. cooperate
and be associated most intimately with
all forward movements. 1t is d seri-
Gus mistake to hold aloof and refuse
to touch elbows with our fellows.
We VIII not lose our identity by
keeping abreast of the times. We will
lose il if We limit our activities to the
marking of cr..ves and the preserva-
ton of records.
1t is essential TO strengthen by our
presence all big movements. l am not
afraid that we will lose our strength
by utilization with any international
council of women.
She said that the broader policy fol-
lowed by the society during the last
three years - her incumbency - ha
proved this along all lines of the So
cietys activities.
