During the meeting thSnapae.a Mrs Mrs.
Thos. G.. Winter was endorsed for pres
ident Of the general federation. Mrs.
Winter was giyenSAn ovation by the
many women present. IN response she
said that although she had been trans
planted from the East to Minnesota,
it was the invigorating influence Of the
women with whom she had worked,
which spurred her on to great efforts
and if she should; reach her goal, she
would think it was due to them in
great part. .-.... 80
Favor League Of Nations.
Z: Mr.. Frost Of Milwaukee, a repubi-
can member Of the executive committee
of the National, League to Enforce
Peace, at the meeting of the committee
held in New York, was the next speak
er. He showed briefly what league re-
ally provides. People of u. S. are be-
coming confused as to what the league
provides and are being told that it
means that we are to sacrifice our in:
dependence of action and in some mys'
terious way, to lose our national free
dom. The principal point in question
is article K. If our president and
splendid senators would yield on that
point the treaty would be ratified. But
amendments of Senator Lodge for res
ervation which he proposes nullifies ar
ticle K and amounts in brief to ou1
signing the League contract and stat
ing at same time, that we will not KEEP
faith and will not carry out provisions
| which alone make the league vital
namely which makes it a real league
| of nations-to keep and to enforce thai
peace against any Germany OF the III
j ture.
The point most often made against
| the lea que is that it requires us to sent
| boys to fight in foreign wars. Article
x and other articles provide clearly
that we cannot be made to use military
or naval forces unless we consent, TO-
we have one vote in the council ant
the action must be unanimous befor'
military force can be used. In regart
to claim that England has six votes il
council to our one, is not true. It il
only in the assembly which has no au
thority in war and great questions tina
every self-governing dependency has
vote as the PHILIPPINES, Porto Eico
Hawaii will have when they become
self governing. No right Of U. S. i
endangered by the treaty, but we hav'
the awful power of defeating it TO
selfish or partisan purposes and losinl
the one chance to make a new and SAT!
world. The treaty ought to be ratified
as it stands and at most only with in
terpretative reservations which do no
require submission on the part of an,
concerned.
! A motion was made and carried tina
a telegram be sent to our senators
asking that the treaty relative t.
League Of Nations be ratified. =
| Value Of Social Center.
| e. j. Steger of St. Paul gave FIN
talk on "The Value of the Social Cen
ter" The idea of the social center il
connected with the democracy of tn
nation. Democracy is the expression 0:
right Of self determination. Every citi
zen should participate in the affairs o:
the community. Mr.. Steger said tina
! Americanization could not be forced OF
aliens, but should be done by encour
agement through the social center.
