Party After Finishing Task
Once again Alice Paul,
feminist leader and stormy
petrol of the woman's move
ment, is at the helm Of the
National Woman's Party.
Miss Paul is alleged to
have returned in an attempt
to save the organization from
the chaos resultant from
recent upheavals in the
party ranks. >
Left Party
About three years ago Miss
Paul gave orders to have her
name withdrawn from the
party rolls and, moving her
personal Lars and PenateS
from the old headquarters on
First Street Northeast, estab-
liShed her residence elsewhere.
Since that time she has been
devoting her abundant ener-
gies to making a study of laws
relating to the nationality Of
women in "a countries. One
of the phases of the subject
she has been Investigating in
volved the translation of the
laws in Persian and Arabic.
Miss Paul has made COM
parative study of woman'S
rights in each of the "a coun-
tries. Each law has been veri- !
fled by the representatives of
the various countries in the
United States.
Published Shortly
The results of her inveStiga-
tionS are to be published in
book form, and Miss Paul ex-
poets to have the manuscript
ready for her publishers in two
or three months.
Her gigantic task almost COM
pleted, Miss Paul was at liberty
to return to her old position
with the National Woman'S
Party, and just in the nick Of
time, for the party, disrupted
by internal wranglings, seemed
to its friends to be headed for
the rocks.
Miss Mable Vernon, execu.
tive secretary of the party since
the departure of Miss Paul, has
resigned, and also has a mum
ber of the party leaders
leaders since the old party days
of picketing and hunger strikes.
Miss Paul returns in the Ca
pacity of a member of the ma
tional council, of which Mrs.
Harvey w. Wiley is chairman.
She will, however, be the power
behind the throne, although not
the nominal leader. Miss
Vernon's place has not as yet
been officially filled.
