MILLION DOLLAR
{. +. JUBlLEEFUND

JUBILEE FUND !
Had the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union only one objective, |
Prohibition in the United States, our
work could not yet stop. The liquor
people will use every insidious, treach-,
erous means in their power to have
the law declared unconstitutional and
to prevent the creation of adequate
| machinery for it's enforcement.
Closing saloons will not in1medi-
| ately take away the appetite for IL
| puor in the drinking man. The lead
ers will be quick to grasp this point
! to create dissatisfaction and cause la
Dor disturbances.
Total abstinence must still be
taught in the schools, in the home and
! Sunday Schools or later years will
see repeal of the prohibition law.
The enemy is not dead, is not even
sleeping. Would you for moment
have the women in our country fold
| their hands and say: "Our temper
| ance work is finished?"
We would not be worthy of the
great spirit of the Crusaders, we
would be traitors to the boys who to-
day lie on Flanders fields that the
world may be safe for democracy, If
after securing the blessings of prohi-
bition for ourselves we fail to take
the message to other countries, and
without protest permit the American
brewers to take their products and
their equipment to South America,
Mexico, China and other countries of
| the Orient.
A San Francisco paper gives the
statement of Rudolf Samet, president
of the California Brewers Association
"We are looking to China as the best
place to co." said Mr.. Samet. I am
| leaving ma few days for that country
to arrange for the construction of
two million dollar plant for the Rain
itr Brewing Company. Other brew
cries are making similar arrange
ments."
We must hasten in our. work for
j world prohibition. We dare not wait
The w. C. T. u, through it's organi-
cation in more than forty countries,
has a foothold in the work of World
Prohibition held by no other organiza-
ton. Now great appeal comes
from China for help. Every fourth
baby born in the world is little
Chinese baby. Our mother hearts go
out to these babies. Appeals are COM
ing to us from all parts of the world.
They are asking for teachers and mis-
sionaries and home workers. Women
missionaries are ready to go as soon
as expenses can be met. Three hun
dred thousand dollars of our Million
Dollar Jubilee fund is for the work of
Worl Prohibition and to speed ou1
helpers across the seas, and the work
for world prohibition can not wait.
Already in number Of large cities
workers from the Woman's Christian
! Temperance Union are visiting the
| foreign speaking homes. Already
groups Of young people of different
nationalities are organized in the
Young Peoples Branch of the work
taking the temperance pledge and do
ing effective temperance work among
their own people. Two hundred
thousand dollars of this fund will

home made liquors. This gives the
Woman's Christian Temperance On'
ion a distinct field in Americanizatlor
work which will mean sure founda'
ton for future prohibition and a pres
ent labor contenedness with our laws
The cooperation Of the Woman,,s
Christian Temperance Union has al,
ready been accepted by the Division Of
Woman's Work United States De-
partment of Labor and in many states
the w. C. T. U. co-operates with wei:
fare workers in factories, industrial
plants and department stores. This
work of the w. C. T. U. includes pro:
lection from intoxicating liquors and
vice for women who are soldiers IN IN
dustry such as is provided for SOL
diers in camp. Social protection is
developing among women sense OF
personal and social responsibility. In
places where the Y. w. C. A. is non
, established, our women will hesitate
at no obstacle to meet emergency
needs for her sister in industry. Spe-
cial attention is to be given to work
among colored and foreign speaking
women and the Indian woman is not
to be overlooked.
