practical application of these general

women and men in political and gov
ernmental matters, and the specific ad-
vocacy of an equal wage for equal serv-

league. Another of the leagues plankS,
written into thu Democratic platform,

a specific application of this principle
Similarly. the plank on foreign pol
lev includes the principles OF arnitra-
ton. of Cancellation and the renunci-
alton of war. The league holds these
principles as fundamental to con-
