Policy Talks Occupy U. S. League Heads
President Stresses Active Citizenry
A discussion of the citizen's responsibility in wartime and the wartime policy of the League of Women Voters occupied members of the National League's beard and general council, meeting in emergency sessions today at the Indianapolis Athletic Club.
As one League official put it: “We are just walking around the subjects today and by tomorrow afternoon our plan of action will begin to jell and crystallize.” This morning's discussion included the necessity for citizen understanding of government. It was agreed that all members will do war work outside the League, but that work unrelated to the League's concern with government should not be brought into the organization. | Other items up for discussion to- | day include the abandonment of | League tasks already assumed if not | essential in wartime; continuation | of tasks already assumed wnen/ abandonment of them would weak- | en government in any particular; | and the wide distribution to be |
given to the interpretation of issues of critical importance.
Miss Wells Speaks
Supper conferences this evening are to be on enrolling members for league war service, organizing and training members, methods and materials to be used, etc. The discussion of these topics will | be continued tomorrow and a preview of the program to be presented at the national convention in April in Chicago. Miss Marguerite M. Wells, president, told the group that the League is an essential service if promoting an active citizenry in a democracy is essential. “If members have garnered any knowledge and understanding of government in the League's 21 years of activity, they owe it to their country now to share that knowledge with many people,” she said. “The demands government makes upon citizen understanding is greater in wartime than in normal times. The League, therefore, is even more responsible for pursuing its avowed purpose.” After the sessions today and tomorrow, the national board wiil meet again Friday for the last time before the national convention opens.
