The League of Women Voters, she emphasized, is fitted to supply| information on government operation through its 21 years’ accumulation of knowledge on the subject. Mrs. Cheek. assisted by Miss Ruth Avres, president of the New York State League, and Miss Ruth Mitchell, head of the Minnesota League, were named this morning to phrase the points brought out in the council's sessions. The board will act on them tomorrow and the program adopted will guide league work until the national convention in Chicago in April. Mrs. Walter Fisher,

All! this despite the fact that the prime minister was operating under a vast grant of emergency powers. | “After hearing several individuals | express themselves to the effect | that now that war was here they should have to submit to government dictatorship . . . it seemed these American spokesmen held a completely negative view of the function of criticism. To them it was carping or partisanship, destructive of morale or unity. “They had no view of it as a! constructive force, the legitimate vehicle for citizens’ participation in government, pushing or restraining or altering as the case might be, but at all events active and formative.

It is a challenge for those with some knowledge of government, of problems of personnel, of administration, of fixing and’ carrying responsibility in the pub-| lic interest, to share that knowledge | with a wider public, to create understanding of the governmental task. to prove that a democracy may take protean shapes to accomplish its ends, but fails only if the citizen takes no responsible part.” Members of the council attended four supper conferences last night presided over by Mrs. James A. Starry, Grand Rapids, Mich.; Mrs. J. Hardin Smith Jr, Tulsa, Okla.; Mrs. Richard Field, Weston, Mass. and Mrs. Baldwin. The council meeting will close today, although members of the national board of directors will remain here for a final meeting tomorrow.
