Women'S
Stake in The
Elections
By VERDA w. BARNES

Especial to The CLIO NEWS)
New York, April 22-Many
people have asked me: "What
makes you think more women
will vote In November than
ever before:"
Here's what I have told
themi Women are more aware
Of the need to vote than they
ever have been before. In 1910,
about AZ per cent Of the voters
were women. In 1914, It has
been estimated that go per-
cent Of the voters will be
women.
This Is not due solely to the large
numbers Of men in the armed fore
es and the merchant marine who
will be unable to vote under exist
ing state and federal legislation.
1t Is also due to the increasing in
terest Of women In the political
life Of the nation. More than ever.
they are aware Of their political re-
sponsibilities.
What causes this increasing in
terest? First Of all, millions Of
women are going into industry
to help produce the materials Of
war. For the first time. they are
facing the problems which men
In industry and agriculture have
always faced-problems Of wages
and hours, Of working conditions
transportation, housing.
In addition, they have to meet
special problems due to their sex.
Will they receive equal pay for
equal work? Will they have the
special facilities and medical care
which they need? Will they find
child care centers for their young
sters?
Working mothers know the
pressing need for more child care
centers. supervised recreational
facilities. more school lunch pro-
grams, adequate medical facilities.
And for Negro women - and
other women faced with racial dis
elimination these problems are
increased hundredfold.
Working women do mot want
national leaders who either ig-
more these problems or turn
them into attacks on labor with
cries Of "absenteeism," Juvenile
delinquency" and so on. they
want leaders who recognize UNI
healthy conditions and work
toward their solution.
But II is not just women in in
dustry who are taking a greater
interest in the political life Of the
nation. Every woman who tries to
stretch her household money to
buy adequate food and clothing for
her family has a stake in the No
vember elections. Every house
wife knows first hand the need
for effective price control. subsid-
les to the producers who need
them and adjusted wages to the
workers to fulfill the promises OF
the Price Control Law Of Oct. 2,
1912. And she knows that stabiliza-
ton depends upon the election of
a government that wants stabiliza-
ton.
These housewives and working
women have still another interest
In what leaders are elected In Mo-
vember elections. Most Of these
women have husbands, sweet
hearts. brothers or sons In the
armed forces. In many homes,
women will have to voice the vote
for the entire family unless legis-
lation Is passed making 1t possible
for servicemen to vote.
They will have to say for their
men as well as for themselves
what leaders they want. And
they will want leaders who will
map an extensive program Of re-
Mobilization for returning serv-
icemen. Wives and mothers want
TO make sure that war veterans
can work and live as free men

CONGRESSIONAL CITES
INCREASES

COngresswoman Mary T. Nor
ton, In addressing the conference
to save the Price Control Act, on
April 10, the day after the CLIO
witnesses testified In the Senate,
emphasized some Of the very
same points.
"Many foods have been under
dollars and cents ceilings" she
said. land they haven't gone UP
much this past year, but look at
my pocket book. I bought this
bag two years ago. know I
didn't pay more than SO for It.
The other day priced one like
1t. It was $685."
In fact. all over the country wom-

household items have skyrocketed.

tors and only about four Of them
are conscious vi0lators of the reg
ulatlons. The rest make mistakes
and about 20 Of them are not very
careful In observing regulations.
One reason they're not more care
full, she thought, n because the

that It just can't spend any time
on these small violators. It's also
hard to prove q case In court be-
cause OPA can't make test pur-
chases to use rs evidence.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Stephenson
urged the committee to consider
giving OPA authority to bring civil
suits in small claims courts on the
basis of test purchases made by en-
forcement officials. This, they felt.

The Great GameofP Politics
Domestic Affairs Must Not Be Neglected
Because of Invasion, Writer Warns

for that matter, about anything else.
Nothing really matters now except
to win. And nothing else is of in
terest. At least, that Is the way it
seems today OF course, these other
things do matter. They cannot
and should not -- be forgotten.
Thrilled as the Nation is by the
battle and all it means, people have
got to live their daily lives-to eat,
to work, to sleep, to play And, it is
neither patriotic nor sensible to let
things go to hell at home because of
the hell over there. So, overshadow-
ing as is the invasion and incon-
sequential as domestic affairs may
now seem in comparison, they
should not be neglected nor aban-
doned. We cannot just suspend
motion until the fight Is over.
1t remains duty to keep up the
effort to replace incompetency in
national affairs with competency; to
combat the pressure groups who
threaten to take over the Govern
ment:. to restore soundness to our
fiscal policies; to get rid of the
"phonies" long entrenched in power.
In fact, keeping up that effort is
imperative We owe 1t not only to
ourselves-we owe 1t to the fighting
men in the armed services who have
right to expect. when they come
home, to finds strong, stable, COM
petent Government, capable of in
telligent handling of the great post
war problems.

fate of the world. In this country,
as in all other countries, every man,
woman and child has an acute per-
sonal and vital stake in the battle.
There is no escape from its effect.
It is as impossible to exaggerate its
magnitude as to overstate Its i'm
portance. Beside 1t, all other things
shrink into temporary inSigniti-
canoe. 1t is the most overwhelming
thing that has ever happened. On
the Allied side, every ounce Of avail
able strength has been gathered,
Everything we have Is being put
into the attack, Just as everything
the enemy possesses has been mus
tered to resist. 1t is life and
death struggle on the grand scale.
An Anxious Nation.
Notwithstanding the cautions of
our military and civil leaders against
too great optimism and their SOL
einn warnings of the high price in
human life we must pay for victory,
there is In the Nation very great
confidence in our ultimate triumph.
And certainly, the measure of sue
cess already attained tends to en-
hance and justify this confidence.
Nevertheless, until the actual crush
ing of the German Armies has beer
achieved, there will be intense ma
tional anxiety. The acknowledged
hazards of so vast an enterprise,
the possibility of devastating mis-
takes and the frightful conse-
ouences of failure make this in
evitable.
II we fall short Of complete sue.
cess the great fight for freedom
will be lost and the supreme effori
to convince those who precipitatee

do not obtain the unconditional

allied, the world future will stretch
darkly ahead and the prospects oil
o permanent peace be diminished
accordingly. If we fail fully tt
reach our detectives, the war against
both Germany and Japan will bs
prolonged, many thousands more
lives of Americans will be lost and
the ability OF a torn and battered
world to right itself will be greatly
lessened.
The bare possibility of these hap.
penings is SOLDERING, indeed. But
hardly less SO are the problems that
viii follow the smashing of the Ger
man armies and the complete Allied
victory. The enornity of the tasks
that viii then confront us is stag

abroad, and the handling of our

home-all these things-and more
are bound up In the savage struggle
now on in France.
Only One Thing Counts.
In this light, what does anything
matter except winning that struggle?
In this light, it seems trivial and
unworthy to bother about who will
