Practically all national women's
patriotic organizations have accepted
invitations to participate, according to
Mrs. Macauley Each will be repre-
scented by 10 official delegates and as
many unofficial representatives as ii
cares to send. An educational pro-
gram on the defensive needs Of the
Nation will be formulated.
'Pacifist groups are unusually ac-
tive all over the Nation, and especially
in Washington" said Mrs Macauley.
1.-The American Legion Auxiliary
and the Daughters of the American
Revolution have declared their I'M
qualified support of the national de-
Tense act. Other women's organiza-
lions have taken similar action. II is
vital that we, as members of patriotic
organizations, let our voices be heard
TO offset this extreme paeifist propa
ganda now flooding the schools,
churches and homes Of our Nation.
THE purpose of this meeting is to
show Congress and the Nation our
united stand in support of the defense
act of 1921; TO show them our belief
that it is the best peace insurance for
the Nation, and if faithfully carried
out would prevent the needless sacri-
flee of our boys which has occurred in
every war in the history of America,
due to lack of adequate preparedness.
