Prominent Woman Worker
Says American Women
Must Quit Being
Parasites

Mrs. Frank A. Vanderbilt of New
York City, treasurer of the National
Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, is
urging upon the women of America
definite and consistent war service.
In recent interview she said:
american women must quit being
PARASITES and learn to give instead Of
always taking. An hour or two a
few days a week Is not enough for
any woman to give her country. We
must give a full business day, an g.
hour day every day Of the week If we
are to count for anything while the
war lasts"
Mrs. Vanderlip outlined the splen-
did work which has been done by the
women Of Great Britain and France
and congratulated American women
on having as their allies in their new
work such women.
"If we ever have another war"
said Mrs. Vanderlip, women will be
In the trenches. What do the pa
cifists mean when they want us to-
stop before our present Job is done?
There Is but one standard for
measuring a woman In this new day
of war. That is dependability. The
woman who can be depended upon is
the one we want. The one who can
not be counted upon is the one who.
viii be dropped forever. profess.
sional spirit is the need Of Ameri-
can women, who have been parasitic
Of fakinp
and give. Eight hours a day is a,
short day for this great WORK we have
before u.s. Two or three hours a day
to the Red Cross is not enough for
any woman to give as her war work
I'VE must get as our personal point
of view the realization that we can.
not have our cake and eat it too. We
must ask ourselves, in this war Of
equipment rather than men, who must
20 without if we have the things we
have been accustomed to. Business
and pleasure cannot go on as usual il
we are successfully to conduct this
tremendous new business of war.
1--WE have forgotten. when we are
buying new clothes and eating the
wheat and sweets that we want and
riding in our motor cars, that we are
hampering the Government. We are
standing in the way of the Govern
ment's business which is war.
when you want to spend dollar
for candy or unnecessary clothes (and
we buy more clothes than we need
because of pride) count that dollar
as a traitor dollar. If you save that
dollar and invest it with the Govern
ment you are serving the Government
'doubly, for you are aiding in fnanc-
ing the war and you are releasing the
labor and materials needed for the
unnecessaries which you have de-
manded formerly.
I'VE are fighting an enemy that is
far from beaten. 1t has won every
thing it started out after. Its dream
of Mittel Europa is realized now.
Only military victory can save de-
mocracy. We must sacrifice ourselves
as we have sacrificed our men folks. |
We must learn to hate that we may
effectively kill the evil thing that is
running not only the bodies but the |
souls of its people and threatens the |
rest of the world"
