SUFFRAGISTS BLAME
REPUBLICAN PARTY
National Woman's Organization
Saws G. o. P. Control States
Needed to Ratify.

Washington. March 5.-The National
Noman's Party issued a statement yes
terday declaring that the Republican
Party must stand prepared to accept the
responsibility In the event that nation
wide suffrage was withheld.
IF the West Virginia Legislature fails
to ratify the suffrage amendment the
Republican Party will be responsible,
since the majority of that Legislature Is
Republican, the statement said. ''If
West Virginia defeats ratification three
more States must be secured. Washington
has called special session for March %,
which will give the thirty-fourth State.
The last two must be secured from States
in which both Governors and Legislatures
are strongly Republican, Delaware, Yer
mont and Connecticut.
$50 far the Governors of these three
Republican States have refused TO call
special sessions. 1t they continue to
refuse, ratification may be delayed until
too late for women to vote in the Fall
election If women are denied the right
tovote for thenext President and Congress
the Republican Party must bear the full
responsibility.
"Thirty-thre States have already rati-
fed the suffrage amendment. Thirt-six
are necessary for final victory"

EXPORTERS extend
MEMBERSHIP RULES
Association Makes Banks,
Insurance and Steamship
Men Eligible.

NEW YORK, October IA (by the Asso-
ciated Press).-Changes in the con-
stitution of the American Manufac-
turers' Export Association, making
banks and insurance and steamship
companies eligible for membership,
we're voted on at the annual conven-
ton of the association here today.
This departure from the policies here
tofore governing the association was
said to have resulted from the organ
ization's desire for closer cooperation
in foreign trade problems.
William c. Redf1eld. former Secre-
tary of Commerce, was elected presi-
dent to succeed w. L. Saunders.
In his valedictory address Mr. Saun-
ders sounded the keynote of the con-
vention, which, he said, was: I'm or
der to obtain world trade American
manufacturers must now take a lead
ing part themselves"
He called especially on banks to IA
cilitate this leadership in foreign
trade by adopting a liberal financial
policy.
American manufacturers are not
bankers" he said. The critical sit
uation in our foreign trade itself is
one of finance. 1t involves banking
and investment problems. This is not
our job. If it were we should prob
ably be less efficient in production.
Surely we do not wish to adopt the
German system, in which the banks
control the industries
The following additional officers
were elected: Vice president, H. S.
