Mrs. Douglas Gives
Talk at Conference
Of Women Voters
By Fronces Kuhn

Don't hang your clothes on q
hickory limb and not go near the
water-come on in and swim,
Mrs. Paul Douglas, former Rep
resentative from Illinois. told
members of the League Of Women
Voters holding a regional confer
ence here yesterday.
An all-day program at Pierce
Hall launched the leagues ma
tional program to get away from
theological theories and concen-
trate on active political affairs.
Mrs. Douglas was one OF two
speakers at a luncheon meeting OF
delegates from Pennsylvania
Maryland, West Virginia. Virginia
and the District.
The meeting here. which will
end today. is the first of II con-
ferences to be held throughout
the country to emphasize the ne
cessity of getting out the vote
regardless Of political preferences
The nonpartisan attitude OF
the league has had the effect OF
sterilizing the efforts Of women in
active politics" Mrs. Douglas said.
'Unconsciously many members
have used the league as an excuse
for not entering into active poll
tics" She compared the situation
TO a woman who studies the theory
of swimming in the winter and
never goes near the water In the
summer.
Mrs. Douglas remarks were
followed by a talk by Mrs. Leona
Rush, Montgomery County dele
gate to the General Assembly OF
Maryland.
Party machines are q neces-
sary evil Mrs. Rush declared. The
country must have q governing
body and the machine is, In effect.
that governing body, she ex-
planned
Mrs. Rush deplored the apathy
among many women toward &C
tual voting but pointed out that
they themselves can prevent the
machine from falling into the
wrong hands. People say that
politics are dirty" she said, but
It is the voter that makes them
that way"
Both speakers stressed the i'm
portance of the participation OF
women in local political groups.
Mrs. Douglas, a Democrat, and
Mrs. Rush, a Republican, were
agreed that the party Of ones
choice isn't the major issue. The
problem, they said. Is the creation
Of an awareness by the average
citizen of the role he can play in
the outcome of local and national
issues through active participation
In the work Of the party Of his
choice.
In q frank description of the
importance of the voting power
Of local pressure groups, Mrs.
Rush said, II went to Annapolis
as q statesman and came back a
horse trader"
Mrs. Rush declared that "a
passive public makes a lazy gov
err1ing body" and agreed with
Mrs. Douglas that the aloof citizen
could determine the outcome OF
every election.
There are many places for
women in active politics" Mrs.
Douglas said. Women are OF par
SECULAR value on local boards and
commissions where their home
interests closely mesh with school
and city housekeeping problems.
Both speakers stressed the i'm
portance of voting In primary
elections. Mrs. Rush said, sue
einctly, Without that vote, your
party goes to pot"

or present, to scrutinize every

those that do not meet the boards

surely could not Keep ambassadors
In Moscow and other satellite

Saudi Arabia, where polygamy is
legal. Nor would we nave kept
ambassadors In Berlin. Rome and
Tokyo before World War II.
It LIS true that we recalled our
ambassador to Berlin in 1888 for
consultation" and the post was
occupied after that. time by a
charge d'affaires. But even in the
case of Hitler we did not actually
withdraw our ambassador. He
continued to be carried in the
diplomatic list as absent from his
post.

The State Department, follow
ing instructions from tie White
House. clearly showed its dissatis-
faction with Hitler but did not Of
ficially rebuke him. Ambassador
Joseph c. Grew remained In To-
kyo until after Pearl Harhor.
Thus. while we may disapprove
the actions and domestic policies
Of q government or head of gov
eminent, ambassadors are kept
In countries until we break of
all diplomatic relations. The
State Department recognized the
Tito government and appointed
an ambassador to Belgrade soon
after the murder of American fly
ers by Tito's pursuit planes. Mr..

State at that time.

never acted in the same dastardly
laShlon as the puppet hungarian
government.
Despite these established facts,
and despite the clear expression
Of views by the two leaders Of
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee. the Secretary Of State,
courageously it is admitted, has
chosen to alter the basic consid-
erations which regulate relations
between America and other coun-
tries.
Mr.. Acheson, many Senators
feel, has decided to become the
sole and supreme arbiter Of the
foreign policies of the United
States in matters which do not
come directly under the jurisdic-
ton Of the Senate.
