Douglass Urges
Women to Help
In Making Peace
addresses Annual
Luncheon of d. 6.
W0men'S Clubs

Womens place in winning war
Is to take the leadership in making
peace success, DR.. Paul F.. Douglass
president of American University
told members of the District FEEDER
alton of Women's Clubs at their an
nual luncheon yesterday at the
Statler Hotel.
Peace will not come. the speaker
continued, as a result of noble sentl-
ments. Rather, he declared, it will
come by the same hard battle OF
persuasion which women used in
their own enfranchisement.
"Womans place is no longer most
essential at the lathe or the drop
forge, but in the forefront of the
crusade for new free world DR..
Douglass asserted. And do not be
deceived" he warned. This world
will not come quickly or easily"
The speaker compared the battle
for peace to the infantry action in
Tunisia, when hand-to-hand fight
ing was required to gain a mile a
day over saW-toothed hill positions.
Wars are won in the end, he
pointed out. by infantry action, by
confident professional skill, by man.
to-man action. And in the same
way. he continued, the crusade for
peace will be won by inch-by-inch
advance. by women who have a
'confldent professional skill in the
modified persuasive agencies Of
peace.
Sharing the program with Dr..
Douglass was Mrs Hester Beall
Provensen Of the University Of Mary
land, whose subject was Responses.
Mrs. Provensen pointed out that 1t Is
necessary for women to decide which
things are important and which are
"trifing" in responding to their
duties in a wartime period. She
also suggested that All understand
ing heart is needed not only in
individual action, but in group en-
terprises.
A feature of the luncheon was a
musical program by Frances Coates
Grace, soprano, accompanied at the
piano BY Mrs. Marion MacGregor
