The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-06-29

| League of Women Voters had started | the festivities for the occasion and
 it was to have been built around a disarmament feature. "We started
 this with a view to presenting disar-
 ment by international agreement to | the people o6 Birminghom, and in l tended to have one speaker to talk on
 this subject and a tableau." she said.
 "As it is. we have invited other
 organizations to our party and have turned our party over to them so to
 speak. If We go Into this celebration We repudiate our disarmament pro- gramme for which we stand" Mrs. W. J.sAdams, a member of the general committee, declared she did not believe the disagreement fea- lures had been brought out as oromi- nently as it should have, for She did not think any harm could be done by dropping that feature from the city wide celebration.
 At this point Mrs. Chapel Ccry wanted to know why the league could not carry out it's original pro- granme and allow the civic organ 1 izations that wished to take part come in. Mrs. Ledbetter arose and declared there was no reason what ever why the league shouldn't have 1 It's celebration, as she was sure the | general committee and committees from civic organizations would with draw and turn the celebration over to them.
 Mrs. J, L. Yancey informed the league that the city mission board | indorsed disarmament by interna tional agreement at it's meeting yes- terday, and instructed the secretary to write letters to the senators and lcongressmen from Alabama asking their assistance on this issue. Make Pence at Home Mrs. H. F. Pearce stated that she thought 1t would be better for the league to participate in the celebra- ton, for they must make peace at home before they tried to make it l elsewhere.
 Mrs. Brenton Fisk, chairman of the league. advocated a separate cele- bration on July by the members of the organization, when the disarma- ment feature should be presented. She declared this should be done, even if there were only four people present, as it was a matter of prin- ciple.
 However, the resolution presented | by Mrs. R. F. Johnston was adopted as was a motion to hold a disarma- . ment celebration at some future date. Resolutions that the League of | Women Voters urge upon the Presi- dent and Congress that they initiate a movement to secure such co-opera- tion with other governments for the reduction of armament was unani i- mously adopted. It was introduced | by Mrs. Jacobs.
 Reports of committees were heard, and committee was appointed to visit the municipal court as follows. Mrs. Charles Donahue, Mrs. Marye Dabney, Mrs. J. L. Yancey and Miss EveIna Wilkerson.
