MISS SCHAIN WILL SUPPORT DEMO TICKET Will Assist ;E;impaign for Re-election of Pres. Roosevelt WASHINGTON, June 18. — Miss | Joosephine Schain of Minnesota and | New York, Chairman of the Na-| tional Committee on the Cause and Cure of War and internationally known peace worker, announced to- day that she will support President Roosevelt for re-election and volun- unteer her assistance in his cam- paign. Miss Schain, who is not enrolled in any political party, has never before in her career publicly de- clared for any presidential candi- date. In announcing her support, Miss Schain said that she was speaking as an individual and not for the Na- tional Committee on the Cause and Cure of War, which represents the peace work of eleven of the na- tional women's organizations. Miss Schain gave the following statement as her reasons for sup- porting the President: President Appreciated “As a person working for better international relations I appreciate the President’s and Mr. Hull's ef- | forts to employ the good neighboi | policy as the foreign policy of the | United States. “President Roosevelt represetns, |also an understanding as we have never seen it before, of the great |rank and file of the people and the duty of government to represent them. Born in Minnesota, I am fa- miliar with the agrarian situation iIn New York later as a social work- ar, I became aware of that other great rank and file group, the in- dustrial workers.
