Women's Clubs To
 Promote Libraries
Eighty=fve Percent of the COuntrys Public Libraries
 Have Been Started By the Federation

Washington, D. c. March IA The establishment of public librar- ies has long been an objective of the General Federation of Women's Clubs and it's member organiza = tions, 85 per cent of the libraries of the country having come into being under club sponsorship. The Fed eration points with pride to inter- esting library projects now being carried on in several states.
 Minnesota club women, learning that 38 per cent of the entire popu- lation of the state, or nearly one million people. were without library facilities, decided to do something
 about it. Finding that existing h- braries were short on children's books, it was decied to conduct a drive to remedy this deficiency. An intensive publicity drive has made the entire state children's book minded. and contributions of books and cash are pouring in at the Book Depots that have been established throughout the state.
 For more than five years the Well come Branch Book Club of Monroe Louisiana. has had as one of its major projects the collecting of books

Post War Policies
 Should Be Defined
New England Council in 62nd Quarterly Session Hear President Flanders in Demand "CIearer Picture"

This is the second time we have had to come to the rescue of Eng land; and this time, far more than in 1917, that nations desperate need is result of its own folly. No mat ter what laws may be passed, no matter what supplies may be or- dered and delivered, our nation will not rise to the high pitch of its pos abilities with the sour taste of the last rescue expedition still strong in the mouth. Only our admiration for the British people has made possible any measure of popular support to our participation in their war hitherto.
 "The betrayed British people and once-bitten American people have the right to demand of the British government which has been a continuing entity through election defeats and cabinet changes - that 1t commit itself to some clear state ment of postwar purposes.
 we must be realistic about these purposes. Tn the face of the experi- ences of the last few years, it is futile to paint any rosy picture of free cooperative organization of the world as whole. We have learned that the nations of the earth will not cooperate on that idealistic basis. There must be no doubt as to the present, continued, and indefinitely future dominion of England, China, and the United States in the air and on the sea. To what ends will that dominion be directed?
 "It is not necessary to draw in the picture i'll fine detail. It is nec- essary to draw it in broadly and forcibly; and 1t is necessary to do this now. These are not war aims The war aim is to vanquish the enemy. These are the peace aims which given to the war aims their validity and their spiritual force.
 Our Own People"
 "The purposes of our world do- minion must be presented for the benefit of our own people, if they are to put themselves into this struggle with the full force of body, mind, and spirit. This must be done for the support of tremb- ling neutrals. It must be done for the encouragement and the stiffen- ing of residence among the con- quered peoples. It must be done for the undermining of the internal power of totalitarian rule in the populations of the totalitarian pow CTS themselves. Above all, by every means still left open, it must be brought to the consciousness of the German people themselves.
 With some satisfactory vision of ultimate purpose, we will rise to a new conception of the task ahead and the scope of our preparations for it. The lend-lease bill, over which we have had so much conten- tion and excitement will then ap- pear in its true light as g. halfway measure made necessary by con- fused public opinion. We will not be leding. We will not be leasing. This nation will be giving all 1t has.
 And the object for which we give will be one which we can support not merely with our work and with our money, but with the mighty strength Of our earnest prayers"
