Why did the General Federation
Of Women's Clubs reverse its posi-
ton on the Stratton bill at It's re-
cent convention in New York and
indorse pending legislation for the
admission of 100000 displaced per-
sons only two days after it had op-
posed the measure?
This question was answered by an
expert yesterday afternoon when
Mrs. J. L. Blair Buck, new fedora
ton president, held her first press
conference at national headquar-
tiers, 1884 N street NV.
IT think the women did what the
whole country is going to have to
do if we are to have peace, Mrs.
Buck declared. They changed their
thinking from a national to an in
ternational point of view"
And what brought about the
change?
Mrs. Buck believes it can be at
tributed largely to the convention
speeches of three women: Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt. Pearl Buck
and Vera Micheles Dean of the
Foreign Policy Association.
Discusses Facts on Bill.
These women spoke from an in
ternational point of view and Mrs.
Dean devoted part of her address
to facts on the Stratton bill, she
pointed out
The clubwomen were thinking in
terms of housing and unemployment
problems when they voted against
support Of the Stratton bill, in Mrs.
Bucks opinion. II don't think many
of them realized the international
implications of the question until
later" she added.
Mrs. Buck said she has received
considerable mail on the subject,
some of it opposing the Stratton bill
and some expressing delight that
the women had had the courage"
to change their minds. Most OF the
women correspondents favored the
legislation, while all the men, who
have written. opposed it, she said.
She, herself, is extremely thank
full" that the federation decided to
support the bill. Moreover, she
thinks the final vote shows that
clubwork trains women to become
objective. Adult education, she
pointed out, Is one of the primary
functions of a Woman'S club.
Administration Plans.
In discussing plans for her three
year administration, Mrs. Buck dis
closed that the federation Is to have
the services of professional work.

with any justification be held re-
sponsible," Mr.. Boggs said.
The Congressman said "The Re-
publican program is designed to re-
move all the obstacles to the full
development of our country. Pro-
duction and more production, with
improved efficiency and resulting
lower costs to the consumers, is
our objective. 1t is the key to the
problem of rising prices and is es-
sential to any program of foreign
aid.
1--WE must make it clear that our
party is not in opposition to rem
dering humanitarian assistance and
that it is not opposed to pro-
gram which will actually result
in the reconstruction and rehabili-
tation of war-devastated nations.
However, we must devise and in
sist upon a foreign policy unemo-
tionally based on the merits of the
case and providing the greatest
possible assurance that we will
actually succeed in rehabilitating
the nations which receive our as
sistance-and not merely sustain
/ in power for another limited per-
! iod of time governments which may
not represent their people and
governments which may lead to
totalitarian dictatorship and de-
struction of individual liberty"
Mr.. Boggs then said that the Re-
publican Party must give fullest
attention to three matters which ]
! consider to be very closely related
They are: Taxes, economy in gov
ernment, and a reduction in oul
national debt.
"It should be made clear that the
Republican Party does stand fol
tax reductions and revision bui
that reductions and changes in oul
tax laws can only be affected il
so long as our people themselves
support wholeheartedly a return tt
economical government which ne
cessitates a further drastic reduc
tion in Government expenditure
and the complete elimination of Ov
erlapping, duplicating and unnec
essary Government activities"

BROWN ELECTED CHAIRMAN
OF G. O. p. COMMITTEE
AT REHOBOTH
CONTINUED from nrss page,


Among others in this category
who have disclosed to the public
eye the blundering, the false eco
nomic concepts, the impractical ex-
perimentation, the bureaucracy and
the selfish political manipulation
of the New Deal and the present
administration are" said Con-
gressman Boggs:
Henry Morgenthau, former Sec
retary of the Treasury; Jim Far
ley, former Postmaster General;
and George Creel, whose recently
published book, Rebel in Arms,
spans the whole New Deal era and
effectively points out the fallaci-
Gus philosophy of that administra-
tion and its almost utter disregard
for Government under our Consti-
tuition and laws"
Blundering Cited
Mr.. Boggs pointed to the admin
istration's recent shift on poul-
try-eating program as indicating
'conclusively that blundering, i'm
practical experimentation and err
'roneous economic concepts are
getting our country into more diff
Guilty rather than helping the situ-
alton"
The Congressman spoke of the
splendid record established by the
Republican-controlled S0th Con-
gress at its first session notwith-
standing constant and unrelenting
opposition from the administration
and the executive agencies of our
government.
"The era of rubber stamp Con-
crosses was ended and the record
shows that the Republicans are do

4 United States intends sthe legisla-
tive branch to do, that is, to face
realistically, fearlessly, and honest.
ly the problem confronting the ma
ton, and, backed by the wisdom oi
our people, to devise appropriate
solutions to these problems"
Analysing the ''infiationary spir'
al" Mr.. Boggs said it's "principa
cause is not hard to find. 1t is the
enormous public debt of the Uni
ted States in the form of bonds anC
other Government obligation
. which, over period of many years
has formed the basis for tremend
