WOMEN MAKE FIGHT
FOR LEAGUE STAND
Want Progressive Convention to
Agree to Adhere Fully to
Organization.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, July s.
Women had a field day here before
the resolutions committee of the con-
ference for progressive political ac-
tion. Two especially made fight
for a declaration of adherence to the
league of nations.
Recognizing that most OF the men,
bers of the conference oppose en-
trance to the league, they made their
speeches a plea for Il change of view
point toward the league and its
work.
The women were Sarah Wam-
haugh, Boston, Mass, on the secre-
tariat of the league at Geneva;
Josephine Schrain. New York, repre-
senting the views of the League of
Women Voters.
The league is functioning," Miss
Wambaugh declared. Nations who
have been out are rapidly coming in.
Germany will be in by fall. If Sem
ator La Toilette becomes President
and wishes to cooperate with Ram
say Macdonald and NJ Herriot he
will have to come into the league
MISS Schraln pointed out tnat tne
labor planks and other principles of
the League of Women Voters already
had been declared for.
Il wish to say for our league that
it has taken pains to ascertain the
attitude of the women of the coun-
try and at three conventions it has
been enforced" she said. "1'hese
women have studied it and there is
TO issue upon which they are so at
one as on entrance to the Geneva
society of nations"
Congressman Victor Berger object
ed, in answer to her plea for the
world court as an anti-War measure,
that there was no way to enforce its
decision.
Miss Schrain said the women de-
pended on public opinion TO prove the
power behind the decisions Berger
objected that that wouldn't answer.
Before the world war public
opinion was bought" he said. Every
newspaper in the country was Tor
war, except mine.

A PEACE PARADE

Women planning a peace parade in
one of the middle-western cities, un-
der the auspices of the Women's Coun-
ell for the Prevention of War, have
been criticised by officers of the army
reserve and the American Plan Asso-
citation. The critics insist that the
women are playing into the hands of
reds" and endangering the safety of
their country. 1t is an unusually clean
cut illustration of live controversy,
and so worth noting.
Says the chief critic: Eve who be-
ieve in preparedness do not believe
any great power contemplates war on
the United States. Yet the red spec
ter of Bolshevik Russia has its eyes
on America. Its agents are under
mining our schools, our army and
navy. Radicals are working among
tre youth of our country.
at seems to me that the course die
tated by common sense is to take the
world as we find it today, and not as
We might wish it to be, and take such
steps to prevent war as are absolutely
necessary in view of present-day con-
ditions. As mankind struggles up
ward and the world becomes better,
then other remedies will suggest
themselves.
He sees no remedy except peace
through preparedness. The peace
parade, he insists, will bring war
nearer by checking armed prepared
ness.
To this the women leaders reply
that they are not greatly alarmed by
the ''red specter," because that spec
ter is mainly economic, not military,
and is rapidly destroying itself by
demonstrating its own error; that
radicals are always talking to youth,
but that America is today the most
conservative country on earth and in
little danger of overturn by wild the
ories of politics and economies.
The women, she remarks, helped in
the last war and viii help in the next
one. But at the same time, they in
sist on doing something constructive,
while they are preparing, instead of
taking war and all its evils as inev-
liable forever. She concludes:
I'VE believe in adequate prepared
ness and are willing to follow the flag
wherever it may go. But the ways of
peace differ. Until you start some
thing, nothing happens. We do not
hope for peace in this generation, but
We fear that there will be no peace
in five generations from now if we do
not work for it now"
