Women Voters League
Hears Peace Message

/ CONTINUED from Page One)
| group gathered to hear her by her
| style of speech, totally different
! from the proceeding speakers. In
/ close clipped forceful sentences she
| caught and held the attention of her
audience.
| Miss Schain began her address in
the realm of her own experiences IN
| bulgaria, Turkey and other European
and far eastern countries, In
roundabout way she made the women
who listened to her feel certain
kinship with those peoples to whom
| they are accustomed to refer as
foreigners. The purpose of all this
soon became plain when she threw
/ the question of international peace
j before her hearers. She described her
own reactions to the past war, her
curiosity concerning it's causes and
| stressed the foreign attitude as
to what it would all lead. She
! stressed the foreign attitude as
against the interest of America in
war but not in peace. She painted
| the havoc of afterwar problems on
/ the peoples of countries whose GUS
toms, laws and boundaries are con-
Etinually changing because OF peace
| treaties. the outcome of war. Miss
Schain lauded the flapper of Turkey
as the independent individual of all
countries who would mean so much
ito the future"
/ Miss Schain in her rather hurried,
I short style soon cut to the heart OF
i her address. AS she herself was
seized with enthusiasm for the pur-
! hose behind her message she flung
brief and potent sentences at her
! hearers in a way that brought home
to the group before her not only her
own dynamic personality but the full
/ force of her world important message
4 A certain consciousness of place and
time seemed to drop from her and the
4 minds of those who listened Travelled
again to war-torn Europe and
!, dreams of disputes settled without
bloodshed. Miss Schain said, 1--WE
have civic law, we have state and
federal law, why can't we take the
next step toward world wide inter-
national law" She placed her appeal
before the Douglas league not as
women who are only an Influence to
men in national affairs but as women
!, who will soon take large place in
national affairs. What are we go
ing to do with Nicaragua? What are
! we going to do with Mexico? China,
Japan and the Philippines are con-
stant1y before our statesmen at Wash
ington Are we satisfied with drift
ing or are we going to lead out?"
Miss Schain said that it was a
challenge to the United States and
particularly to the women. Try and
find a middle ground on which to
settle our difficulties and problems.
In closing the principal speaker of
; the evening simply stated in tone
that was itself challenge to the
:. women of this city, II believe the
world is ready to take the challenge
or 1 wouldn't be here tonight
