STATE W., c. 7. u. PRESIDENT
REPLIES TO TIMES EDITORIAL

The Times acknowledges the receipt
OF the following communication from
Mrs. Cuila Wayhinger. president of the
Indiana State w. q. II. u. in answer to
an editorial IN these columns containing
the attitude Of the recent ". c.. T. L..
convention for their attitude towards
tobacco. one Of the things most needed
in Europe;
Editor Of the Times:
Referring to your editorial Narrow
Work" in the issue Of oct. %. you con-
denim the W. C. r. u. Of Indiana for
passing a resolution that tho 1000
acres Of Indiana now devoted TO the
culture Of tobacco be turned to the more
useful production Of foodstuffs.
May I call your attention to the fact
that this resolution was passed AFTER
tho six hundred nifty delegates in at
tendance had voted UNANIMOUSLY to
ludorso the food conservation plans
proposed by Mr.. Herbert Hoover and
his staff; had gone on record urging
every woman to sign the food conser-
walton pledge card and had voted to
place our machinery into this great ma
tional food-saving mechanism that we
might help win the war" Twelve
thousand women wearing the white rib

porters and the most willing and eff
hcieut workers Mr.. Hoover viii have in

suggestions" because these women have
worked a department of Household
Economies In their society ever since
it was organized. forty-hve years ago.
and so know something of the relative
values Of foods. as well as economy.
May I further call you attention to
the fact that when the call was made
for the women to let food stuns take
the place Of tho flower beds and the
beautiful green lawns which they had
planted and tended with so much pride
and care. this organization. by a call
from state headquarters, enlisted it's
membership in this plan and many Of
these loyal patriots sacrificed those
beautiful things to the more unitarian
| Program of the government. and did it
| gladly. hoping in this way TO help win
the war"
Now, may I ask you. who has a better
right to ask these same men Of the
state to conserve the 1900 acres of
Indiana soil which is now used for

said what the people Of the United
States would wish me to say. May
not add that hope and believe that
am, in effect, speaking for liberals
and friends of humanity in every ma
ton and Of every program of liberty?
n would fain believe that ! am
speaking for the silent mass of
mankind everywhere who have az
yet no place or opportunity to

see to have come already upon the
persons and the homes they hold
most dear.
"And in holding out the expectation
that the people and government of the
United States will join the other civ
ilized nations OF the world in guaran-
teeing the permanence Of peace upon
such terms as l have named, ! speak
with the greater boldness and con-
fdence, because 1t is clear to every
man who can think. that there is in
this promise no breach in either our
traditions or our policy as a nation,
but a fulfillment, rather, of all that
we have professed or striven for.
Urges World "Monroe Doctrine"
'I am proposing, as it were. that
the nations should with one accord
adopt the doctrine of President Mon
no nation should seek to extend its
policy over any other nation or people,
but that every people should be left
free to determine its own policy, its
own way Of development, unhindered,
unthreatened, unafraid, the little along
with the great and powerful.
'I am proposingn that all nations
henceforth avoid entangling alliances
which would draw them into competi-
lions of power, catch them in a net or
intrigue and selfish rivalry and dis
turb their own affairs with influences
intruded from without. There is no
entangling alliance in a concert OF
power. When all unite to act in the
same sense and with the same pur-
pose, all act in the common interest
and are free to live their own lives
under a common protection.

the consent Of the governed; that
freedom of the seas which, IN in

ference, representatives of the
United States have urged with the
elouuence OF those who are the
convinced disciples Of liberty; and
that moderation of ornaments
which makes OF armies and navies
q power for order merely, not an
instrument of aggression or OF
selfish violence.
"These are American principles,
American policies. We can stand for
no Others And they are also the prin-
ciples and policies of forward looking
men and women everywhere, of every
modern nation, of every enlightened
community. They are the principles OF
mankind and must prevail.

President Wilson's complete address
to the senate yesterday was as fol-
lows:
Gentlemen of the Senate: "On the
18th of December last I addressed an
identic note to the governments Of
the nations now at war, requesting
them to state, more definitely than
had yet been stated by either group
of belligerents, the terms upon which
they would deem it possible to make
peace.
'I spoke on behalf of humanity
and of the rights of all neutral ma
tions like our own, many of whose
vital interests the war puts in con-
slant jeopardy.

tnat much nearer the discussion of
International concert which must
thereafter hold the world at peace.
Concert Of Powers to Insure Peace,
In every discussion of the peace
that must end this war, it is taken for
granted that that peace must be given
by some definite concert of power,
which will make it virtually impossible
that any such catastrophe should ever
oVerwhelm us again. Every lover of
mankind, every sane and thoughtful
man must take that for granted.
Il have sought this opportunity to
address you because l thought that
owed it to you, as the council associat-
ed with me in the final determination
of our international obligations, to dis
close to you without reserve the
thought and purpose that have been
taking form in my mind in regard to
the duty of our government in these
days to come, when 1t will be neces-
sary to lay afresh, and upon a new
plan, the foundations of peace among
the nations.
Opportunity Knocks for U. s.

Of the United States should play no
part in that great enterprise. To take
part in such a service will be the OPP
portunity for which they. have sought
to prepare, themselves by the very
principles and purposes of their polity
and the approved practices of their
government, ever since the days when
they set up a new nation in the high
and honorable hope that 1t might, in
all that it was and did, show mankind
the way to liberty.
