 "In addition to the organizations formerly cooperating with the award. very large number of as- sociations not able to co-operate in every detail have made the award subject of discussions or of resolu- tons at their annual meetings and conventions. These include: The American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science, the American College of Surgeons, the Metal
 
 Federation of Labor, the American Bakers Association, a numbe err of the state conventions of the American Legion, the American Public Health association, the American Association of Industrial Physicians and Sur geons, the American Hospital asso- citation, the National American War Mothers, the Ohio Welfare Council, the State Federation of Pennsyl- Yanfa Women. All of these organi- zations, however technical or spe- cific,, have felt it entirely relevant to call the American peace award to the attention of their members. The committee in charge of the award believes that this Is incontrovertible evidence that the American people In their various groups are deeply in- terested in what the relation of the United States to the rest of the world shall be.
 The S1 national organizations have co-operated in the following ways: They have placed tho conditions be- fore their members; in many in- stances they are submitting group plans. And, perhaps most important of all. they are assisting in conduct ing the wide, popular Referendum on the winning plan which will be taken throughout the country in January,
 "As soon as the jury of award has made its selection, the plan chosen will be at once submitted to the people of the country through this informal referendum conducted through the daily and weekly press so far as their cooperation Is avail able, through these 81 national or ganizations and through large number of local and state organiza- tions, which. while not always for mally connected with the national organizations forming the council are interested in the award and de- sire to take a referendum of their members.
 Very definite plans for the meth cd of taking the referendum of their members have been laid by most of the organizations, and the meeting of this week was for the purpose of comparing notes among the repre- sentatives of the organizations and determining finally the exact method by which each organization could best and most promptly reach it's complete membership with the win ming plan.
 "The aim of the committee in charge of the award Is to give every interested man and woman in the country an opportunity to partici- pate in this referendum. It Is the first opportunity that the individual in this country has had to make ef- fective his opinion as to what part the United States should play in a plan for international cooperation
