SENATE COMMITTEE
 MAY ALTER MEASURE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-A drive within the closely divided Senate Banking Committee to alter the devaluation bill is disclosed despite pleas from the Administration that the measure be enacted unchanged to hairline.
 The committee voted on the pro- posal to limit operation of the two billion dollar stabilization fund tC March, 1885.
 It is also authoritatively forecast that an effort will be made by the committee to also limit the powers of the big fund.
 Senate Democratic leaders con- ceded there will be many fights over proposed amendments when the measure reaches the floor but they asserted they have sufficient votes to shoot the measure through although perhaps. not by the saml ratio as in the House.

Women Help Write History of 1883
 in Buying" Dripe Against Depression
By SIGRID ARNE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Women moved into a position of greater importance in the national ma chinery last year, women leaders believe, due to the force of cir- cumstances in the drive against the depression.
 Women showed an awakened civic consciousness that was mrac- ulous," says Mrs. Grace Morrison Poole. president of the Gen2ral Federation of Women's Clubs.
 For the first time home women realized they are an important cog in the national machinery. They swung into action rapidly behind the MIRA program.
 Women Can Control
 Tn most Cities it was the wom- ems clubs that distributed the pledges to ouy with the Blue Eagle. The drive made them realize that through their control of the family budget, they can also control, in large part, the economic trend of the nation.
 "In many of the rural communi- ties the farm women, although they are comparatively untrained, kept the schools open through their sheer determination. Tn manufac- turing cities they banded together to give the unemployed work and study for their enforced leisure. Y
 From her office at the Consum- CTS Advisory Board, another wom- an leader, Emily Newell Blair, for mer vice-president of the National Democratic Party, has been watch ing the turn of events with a feel ing of enthusiasm concerning the place of women in the American picture.
 For the first time the woman's viewpoint has been written into the pattern of industrial economy, she says. "The old philosophy was completely a mans pattern, built on the profit motive.
 sNow women have chance, both as executives and as a buying force, to see that some emphasis is placed on happiness and human welfare They united as the new deal un- folded. for example. to insist on standards that would write the sweat shop out of the American picture.

MUNITIONS PROBE .
HAS TWO TRENDS.
Report to Dwell Upon World
Cooperation and Effect
on Business.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With disclosures Of the Senate
munitions investigation considered
certain to furnish an outstanding
issue next Congress, two fundamental
considerations face committee MEM
bers in drafting their report aite:
the inquiry is complete.
They are:
The necessity Of attracting inter-
national cooperation if any steps to
control private manufacture and sale
of war materials in the United States
are to contribute to world peace: the
possible consequences to American
business interests if restrictions are
applied here without that co-opera-
ton.
Two Views Emerge.
Out of the mass of testimony and
documentary evidence thus far gath
cred by the committee, which now is
In recess until December. have
emerged two we'll defined trends of
opinion.
The first is a unanimous conviction
on the part of the committee that
governmental regulation is necessary
for the private munitions industry if
brakes are to be applied to armament
races throughout the world.
Second is the contention of NUM-
tiOnS makers themselves who have
testified before the committee that
If restrictions are applied to the
American business alone it will mean
merely that foreign firms will get all
the world business without affecting
the worldwide sale of war materials
Hint at World Conference.
Thus, nothing short of a world
conference for the control of NUM-
tionS manufacture and distribution
would. in the opinion of students of
the question, furnish a solution.
Whether this will be one recon-
mendation Of the committee remains
to be seen. Its members, however
have expressed unCOncealed gratifica-
ton at the strong reaction evidenced
in other countries to revelations
brought out by the hearings here.
They have determined TO push
before Congress measures designed to
put our own house in order What
