Office, stamp out organized crime,
but they are not united"
Common Aim Needed,
In her study of the reaction Of
women in crises, whether civic,
economic or social, as affecting
policies, programs and activities of
organized women, she has come to
agree with Carrie Chapman Gait
that women need common cause
to bind them together. Mrs. Gait
gave them this cause, world peace.
Nineteen of our largest national
groups now belong to the Commit
tee on the Cause and Cure of War,
and yet we have no real co-opera-
ton among women who are work
ing for world understanding" she
said. Public sentiment in favor Of
arbitration instead of war could
grow if women could cooperate"
