‘Freedom to Work’ Amendment

Speaker

At LF.C. Convention

“freedom to work” was Dickinson, Keene, N. H, as a goal might work.

Mrs. Dickinson, first vice president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, spoke at the Claypool hotel where the Indiana Federation of Clubs is holding its 54th annual convention. The sessions began

yesterday afternoon and will end; tomorrow noon. Last night's program honored war service chairmen of the federation. Mrs. Oscar A. Ahlgren, Whiting, I F. C. president, presided and intro-

duced the speakers. “Winning the war,” she said, “comes first and post-war planning comes second. . . . There are too many of us who fail to realize that we will never win unless we begin with ourselves. “We will never win as long as heads of labor unions can impede the progress of the war effort by forcing strikes. . . . We need to stop all this quibbling that is going on in Washington—one department head after another resigning because they do not like this or that. Our boys can't stop fighting if they do not like what is going on.”

Mrs. Jaqua Speaks

Mrs. George W. Jaqua, Winchester, the federation’s war service chairman, spoke on “Women in War Service.” “One of the tremendous outgrowths of this war effort is the enlarged place which women fill. . . . They are becoming more and more indispensable to the home front. They know that upon the outcome | of this war will depend the humani- | tarian standards of the future.

| “They know that those standards must not be less than in the past. | They know that if this war is not | won, the women will have the most | to lose. | “We cannot return to the methods ‘and habit of the pre-war world. |The future is a question mark, but women have the power, if they but have the united will, to provide the answer.” | Assist Red Cross Mrs. Dickinson, whose subject was “The General Federation in War Attire,” said that the federation with its 1500 clubs end two million members, was directing its efforts toward giving all help possible in war work. Its members she said are assisting the Red Cross and the National Nursing council in recruiting nurses for the armed forces and are raising funds for nursing scholarships. Since last November the or|ganization has obtained $55,720 for ‘such scholarships, she reported. | She called upon women to study land act on juvenile delinquency, | “giving special thought to the de|ficiency in the American home, to {the lack of discipline, to the need lof religious living and training.” | Other speakers last night were | Mrs. M. Y. Newcomb and Mrs. E. A. |Howorth, presidents of the Ohio! 'and Mississippi club federations.

He said of the Irish, “They remember bitterly the barbaric treatment they received from the English as late as 1920, events that are unknown to many Englishmen.”

from the days of the revolution up to the present time he pointed out

every eight soldiers were Irish.

And he added ‘that in the civil war, Irish generals succeeded where others failed. : “To the Irish goes the credit of keeping alive the two-party system of government. The White House is a copy of a mansion in Ireland. Fourteen presidents are of Irish descent.” He complimented the Irish sense of humor, their kindliness, courage, intelligence and thrift, all of which has helped shape our country, “It was the Irish glso who founded the American Federation of Labor, but they had a clean union and never blackmailed the government,” Capt. Ireland said. Mrs. Albert Rabb presided in the absence of the president, Mrs, Margaret Stephenson Moore.

Urges Action by

Times

WASHINGTON, May 12—S8upport of the Ball-Burton-Hatch-Hill resolution has been announced by the American Association of University Women. The resolution calls for early organization of the united nations to keep the peace and deal with post-war reconstruction and

relief problems. In a letter to Senator Tom Col tions committee, Dr. Kathryn McHale, general director of the A. A. U. W. characterized the method outlined as sensible and forward-looking.

She wrote, “The united nations

is today an inspiring concept. It is capable of being made into a functioning international agency. Nothing will more quickly eliminate the misconception that America intends to be either the world's Lady Bountiful or the world’s big policeman than to recognize that both welfare and security are the joint responsibility of all nations.” Urges Action Urging the senate to take action now on the post-war stand of the United States, Dr. McHale stated, “It is not surprising if the other members of the united nations are skeptical about the future role of this country in the light of what happened after 1918. This doubt distresses and discourages our friends and the friends of democracy everywhere. “It also gives an easy excuse for the forces of selfishness and reaction to foment anti-American feeling and to work behind the scenes for a peace that would perpetuate some of the worst features of the world we should have left ‘behind. - “On the other hand,” she continued, “certainty that the United States intends to take part in building a world of peace and justice under law would put new heart into the fight against the axis.

mally, chairman of the foreign rela-

lis would strengthen the will of men and women in all lands to bring into being the new free world on which they have fixed their deepest longing.” Indotsement of the resolution is in line with the association's attitude on foreign policy. In May, 1941, at its biennial convention, the organization voted to support the development of international institutions even during the war, in order to lay the foundation for a permanent international peace system afterward. At that time the members also voted to stand for all possible aid to victims of axis aggression. Theirs was the first national women’s organization to vote for aid to the allies without reservation or qualification. Chairmen to Meet In writing to Senator Connally, Dr. McHale referred to this vote and to the active war work of the A. A. U. W, since December 1941, “so that, you may know that our interest in developing institutions for the post-war period is not a means of escape from the grim business of fighting the war.” In closing, she emphasized the mportance of senate leadership at this time: “We consider it an encouraging instance of the vitality of democratic institutions that the United States senate at this critical stage of our national life is being looked to, to give the leadership which the masses of people every-
