is significant that at both, the prin-
cipal speakers represented the army
and navy departments, and the De-
partment of State. No working class
voice was heard. And in the end, both
conferences rallied strongly to the
support Of American imperialism,
showing their unmistakable characteI
as capitalist agencies.
Other organizations and conferences
could be named of similar type
the General Federation of Women's
Clubs, the conference Of the Council
of Women held in New York, etc. On
all sides we find the formation OF
special women's political organiza-
lions as part of the machinery de-
signed to manufacture a reactionary
psychology among women, to line
them up for the interests of capitals,
Imperialism. And it is important to
note that all of these organizations
have been receiving an unusua.

press. We may expect them to TAKE
an active part in the presidential cleo
tions this year.
Working Women Must See.
The working class women must I'M
derstand the character of these capl-
talist political agencies, and organize
to counterfeit their influence. Bitterly
exploited as they are industrially,
hundreds of thousands bearing the
double burden of Shaving in factories
and taking care of home, with prac-
tically no political protection, they
must rally to the militant section Oh
the American working class that is
fighting for labor party, agains,
Imperialism, and for policy of or
ganization and struggle against the
attacks of the employing class anu
their government.
The working woman needs a Labor
party. To cite merely few fac S
the action of the New York State
legislature in abolishing the 4S-hour
week for women, the present cam
paign in Massachusetts against the
state protective laws for women in
industry, the general onslaught
against labor which includes women
as well as men, the attempt to mobil-
ize women for halleluja campaign
for American militarism and i'm
perialism-al this points to the neces-
Sly of working class political action
for women.
The left wing generally must recog-
nize that it must not only pay more
attention to the woman worker in all
its programs and campaigns on the
industrial field, but also that it must
fully appreciate her significance
politically.
Women has long been a vital in
dustrial factor. Today she is also a
political factor.
The coming presidential campaign
provides an excellent opportunity for
raising slogans of a local, state and
national political character Of especial
interest to women. Social insurance,
minimum wage laws, he eight hour
day, maternity benefit laws for the
working mother-around these and
similar issues women can be modified
and organized.
To win the working class women
for class political action, and against
imperialism is an important task of

Serious effort must be bent towards

THE Third National Conference on
l the Cause and Cure for War has
come and gone.
Nine women's organizations, in
GLIDING the National League of
Women Voters, the General Fedora
ton Of Women's Clubs, the National
Women's Trade Union League, ETC.,
and claiming membership running
into the millions, sent their repre-
sentatives to Washington, D. c., to
see, it was said, what the women OF
America could do to stop war.
AT the time the conference met,
congress was considering a naval
building program involving the ex-
penditure of over seven hundred mill
ion dollars, and the capitalist press
was flooding the nation with propa-
ganda for the biggest navy in the
world" Marine reinforcements were
being sent to Nicaragua to carry out
Wall Streets imperialist designs in its
unofficial" war of aggression. The
two most powerful oil trusts in the
world-the Standard Oil of New
York, and the Royal Dutch Shell
Combine of Great Britain, had de-
clared war to the finish" in their
competitive struggle for markets and
raw materials. In short, the political
atmosphere was charged with mill
tarism, and the possibilities of new
international conflicts appeared as
menacing realities.
Yet, confronted by such a situation,
the conference met, talked, disbanded,
with the same net result as the first
Two conferences held-the strengthen
ing of democratic pacifist illusions,
che further tightening of the grip of
capitalist Imperialism upon the minds
of the women of America.
The keynote of the conference was
struck by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait,
a leader of the National League OF
Women Voters, who quite definitely
declared that the conference opposed
scrapping armies and navies, that
there must be no opposition to full
preparations for defense" Interven-
ton in Nicaragua was brushed aside
with platitudes about the establish
ment of good will between the United
States and Latin America. The
economic basis of wars, which the
staunchest advocates of American
Imperialism to-day admit, was COM
pletely hidden beneath corrupting
Calk of mems war minds" and Of
"rock-ribbed treaties" to outlaw war.
Not a single working-cias note
was struck, not even by representa-
lives of the Women's Trade Union
League, which obviously follows the
official American Federation Of Labor
policy of supporting Wall Street.
From first to last the conference ex-
hibited its complete subservience to
american imperialism, adding it's
share to the insidious influences of
capitalist propaganda
Certainly the working women of
America, upon whom falls heavily
the burdens of war, had nothing to
expect from ga herring almost en-
tirely representative of bourgeois
and petty-bourgeois women's organi-
zations. But the conference was
significant in again demonstrating the
political methods by which capitalism
ia this coun ry seeks to mobilize the
women in support of its institutions
and policies.
With the passage Of the women's
suffrage amendment to the constitu-
ton in 1919, enfranchising about
twenty million women, they became a
political factor which could no longer
be ignored. The granting of this
