N atmosphere of practicability born of the knowledge that facts were being dealt with instead of ! fancy, that things within the range of vision rather than purely visionary were under consider- | ation, pervaded the sessions of the third | Conference on the Cause and Cure of | War, imparting to it a new significance not felt in the two previous meetings of the nine national women's organizations | co-operating to discover the shortest | approach to international understand- ing and peace. %V\lh l:\ optimistic and practical |background which was lacking last vear, supplied by arbitration treaties actually outlined and being acted upon rather than seen at a distance as sub- jects of vague speculation in the minds |of a few international leaders, the con- ference was able to outline a well des fined policy which, if backed up indi- ! vidually by the women, the clubs and |the federations which they represented. | should prove an irresisiible force moving toward the ultimate goal When the group found itself in the | position of indorsing an actual proposa 'of our State Department, designed to | abolish war as a national policy. it was no longer dealing in ephemeral ideas. but in concrete facts. and with the in- dorsement of that proposal past dreams began to take definite form. with the promise of becoming future reality. The press, the public and the politi- cal world paid tribute to the increased significance of the conference. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt. chairman, who presided over the scssions, sounded the keynote Monday afternoon when she addressed the delegates, opening the offi var as an institution can be abol- | ished by civilized nations now,” said Mrs. Catt. “and the only way to treat the problem of war is to isolate it from all other problems. That which ham-" pers the advocates of peace more than any other one thing is the fact that ad- vocates of war are pulling hard on one rope while the advocates of peace are dividing their energies pulling on many ropes. “The only possible substitute for war | is compacts between- all civilized na- tions to proscribe war absolutely as be- | tween themselves and in agreements to find the peaceful means of settling all disputes. “The problems that now confront na- tions are too crucial to be tried by ar- bitrament of guns and bombs. They call for statesmen with brains, not sol- diers with guns: for reason. not sub- marines; for round tables. not battle- fields; for conciliation, not poison gas, and. let me add, they call for prayer In discussing the necessity of defense as a protection against war, Mrs. Catt said: “Defense is needed. and there can be no practical opposition to prepara- tion for defense, but who is to judge | how much and what kind of defense is needed?” In this connection the conference supported a resolution “deploring the | greatly increased naval armaments for the United States” and urging that “in the adoption of any naval building pro- gram the President be authorized w0 suspend construction, if circumstances warrant it." The peace plan devised by Mrs. Ben Hooper of Wisconsin, chosen from 400 | sugzestions offercd by the 400 rcaders who had been selected to follow a spe- cial course of study outlined by the conference committee during the past year and submit their plans as a result of their stus was recommended o the conference as the most practical one offered. OP all the resolutions passed by the conference (which are here sum- marized) the, most important was the one indorsing the Kellogg proposal for a muitilateral treaty with Prance and other world powers, the gist of the | indorsement being that the Conference for the Cause and Cure of War go on | record as recommending to its nationai | organizations that they give “active and | concerted su| to the eflorts of the Department of State for the conclu- sion of either a mull treaty or| bilateral treaties with France, Great Britain, Japan. Germany, Italy and | other like-minded nations for the re-| nunciation of war as an instrument of national poliey.” It was the sense of the conference that in adding the “bilateral treatics o its resolution, rather than #imply indorsing the present proposal as it stands, ft was preparing the way for standing bchind that or other proposals tending toward the same end, understanding that it might not be pos- sibie to consummate a treaty on the . !exact outiines now drawn up by the State Department suggested a plan for following up the abstract support of peace proposals of- fered in resolutions by concrete action of the co-operating organizations. Mrs. Catt urged upon the women “a Nation- wide effort to stimulaie public discu sion and support of the State Depart- ment proposais for treaties for the re- nunciation of war between the United States and six world powers, with thi definite object: to get the twn Benators in every State ready for the Senate vote on these treaties. to make them realize that the people thoroughly understand | the State Department proposals and de- sire approval by the Senate when the treaties come up for ratification.” As the first step in the plan Mrs. Catt suggested ratification of this resolution, passed unanimously by the conference.
