The mobilization of American wo-
men in support of the last war
which the American government con-
Quoted in 1917-1918 has a poignant
lesson to the working class. 1t is a
warning to US to realize the import
ance of the women, and to begin
energetically the task of organizing
and teaching the working class wom-
en-, so that when war breaks out
again, they will be modified, not
for the support of the imperialists,
but for the fight against capitalism
and for the victory of the prole-
tartan revolution.
Women Under Govt Control.
Systematically, on a national scale,
an apparatus was created, using the
permanent bourgeois women's or
CARNATIONS, which reached to the
last corner of the country and drag
ged in not only the middle class
women, but the working women and
workers wives as well. Under the
direct control and with the full sup
port of the federal and state gov
eminent apparatus, this organization
of women penetrated not only the
whole United States, but even the
colonial possessions.
The imperialists fully understood
the value of the women. They lost
no time. Fifteen days after war
was declared on Germany, on April
81, 1917, the mobilization was be-
gun by the creation of a Women's
Committee of the Council of National
Defense. This council had been or
ganized by act of congress in Au-
gust, 1916, and consisted of the sec
reta-ies of six state departments,
plus an advisory committee of seven.
1t was thus a direct appendage of
the government, and it's Women's
Committee, meeting in Washington
as a division of the council, was
in the closest connection with the
government center. Nine women
were put on the committee, most of
them heads of big bourgeois wom-
ems organizations, such as the Cen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs,
the National Council of Women, the
National Women's Suffrage Asso-
citation. and others. DR.. Anna Ho-
ward Shaw was the chairman of the
committee. Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait was also a member Later two
other women were added, one of
them the president of the Interna-
tional Glove Workers Union.
Within few weeks, the Women's
Committee had formulated a plan of
action which was sent out to we'll
known patriotic women in 48 states.
At once the organization work was
begun. A temporary chairman was
appointed in each state. Her first
job was to call together a confer
ence consisting of the heads Of wom-
ems organizations having a state
wide scope, and such individuals as
she wished to represent unorganized
women. Recognition was to be given
to clubs, to religious denominations,
to fraternal and rhilanthropic So
cieties, to patriotic and protective
associations. All the innumerable
women's organizations under bour-
geois influence, which have had an

city and devotion of the women
of the United States. The
country depends upon the women
for large part of the inspiration
of it's life"
And the secretary of war chimes
in:
~ think there is certain sig
nificance. when a secretary of
war says to the women that the
success of the United States in
the making of this war is just as
much in the hands of the women
of America as it is in the hands
of the soldiers of our army"
On August 2, 1917, the secretary
of the navy declares:
American women have always
been ready to answer the call of
service and have cheerfully under
gone the untold sacrifices and bur-
dens which war places upon them.
They are already making sacri-
fees and enduring hardships with
a spirit which commands our in
tense admiration.
And listen to the secretary of tbs
interior in June, 1917:
"Unless our women feel the
greatness of the moral issues in
volved in this contest, and unless
they have raised their boys to
fight, if necessary, for the things
for which we stand, the war cannot
be won."
And so on "ad nauseam." In pull,
pit and press, in movie and school
in parade and mass meeting the
campaign went on to drive the last
working woman, the last workers
and farmers wife into doing "hel
bit" to support the noble cause Of
defending imperialist profits.
Women Enormous Support to Cow
The actual concrete results of the
campaign were of enormous help tt
the ruling class. After few months
campaign among the women for the
saving of waste bread, the National
Commercial Economy Board stated
that enough bread had been saved
each day to feed a million people
$350,000,000 worth of crops were
raised by women in backyard gal
dens during 1917. And in the same
year, $36,000,000 worth of garments
made by women, says Mr.. Dawson
head of the American Red Cross
were sent to the troops abroad. This
in addition to the many millions Of
dollars for relief purposes raised
through the activities of the women
The activities carried on by the
various women's committees were
manifold. One of the first jobs was
the registration of the women fol
service. The women were prepared
by special letters and a message
from the government. Some states
and cities instituted classes to trair
women registrars. Within six
months the national committees or
registration received over 5000 calls
for women workers from firms hold
ing government contracts for wal
materials.
