Women S War Work
Praised by Truman

The home front was truly bat
tie front where women bore a major
part of the struggle" in the war
just concluded, President Truman
said today in a statement COM
memora ting the 25th anniversary of
ratification of the women's suffrage
amendment to the Constitution.
Final approval of the amendment
by the States was recorded on Au-
gust 26, 1920, and tomorrow will be
the anniversary.
Since women got the vote, the
President said, the movement to
raise their status "in all other fields
has gone steadily forward"
Women walked into the pages of
today's history as good citizens and
good soldiers" he continued.
To praise women for making in
telligent use of the ballot or for
doing their share in winning the
war would be an act of condescen-
sion, the very opposite of that equal
respect symbolized by the suffrage
amendment But on the 25th ami
versary of the 10Th Amendment, it
is fitting that we men and women
alike should give thanks for an
America in which women can stand
on the level footing of full citi-
zenshlp in peace and in war"
