DISCUSSION of the pros and [\ cons of the Navy bill, 2 subject of interest to clubwomen uni- versally—for there is scarcely a national organization in the pountry which does not have some Hefinite policy with regard to national Hefense—was enjoyed by the members pf the Woman's National Democratic lub Monday afternoon &t the weekly program luncheon with Admiral Luke cNamee, U. §. N, speaking for and unnwr William H. King against the pill. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, who is keenly nterested in the measure, was among | he members entertaining guests at the luncheon. She had with her Mrs. J. JBorden Harriman and Mrs. Jorge Boyd. Pointing out that the Navy bill asked pnly for appropriations sufficient to r¢ place 15 of the 22 obsolete cruisers now in active service with modern up-t date craft of the 10,000-ton class, Ad- ral McNamee declared that “the| unction of the Navy is to maintain | e to fulfill it, and Wi ust have | he strength that commands respect. Destroyers cannot take the place of entire squadron of destroyers, he point- d out, declaring that even should the Jnited States build all 15 of those ruisers now asked for, and in addition | omplete the eight now under construc- | ion, she still would not have as many | las Great Britain or othor nations of | [europe. The Navy is not suggesting its | ruiser program as a preparation for | car, he declared, but as a preparation o maintain peace. “Preparedness costs money,” declared e naval expert, “but it fis dirt cheap, &5 lcompared to the cost of war. | Benator King, deploring the fact that lthe United States, which should take he lead in international peace, is ap=- propriating more and more for the [Army and Navy than any other Na- tion, said: “I want protection for my country when there is some danger, but today there is no danger. We have not a foe in the world.” ¢ “I have no fear of the pacifists of said Senator King, “for T have found none. If there is another war, it is the materialists and naval- | lists who are responsibl Mrs. John Allan Dougherty, who pre- kided at the luncheon, introducing ihe [speakers, announced that there would be no luncheon next Monday or the Monday following, but that the series would be resumed immediately after the first of the year.

EE F!nmns'rs have found double cause for rejoicing in the action of the Council of the League of Naiions rec- ommending the admittance of women as consultants to the next conference of tie League at The Hague and in the e by the House of Repre- sentatives without a dissenting vote of the Porto Rican suffrage bill. Doris Stevens, chairman of the com- mittee of international action of the Woman's Party and also chairman of the Inter-American Commission of Women, received a cable from the League council last week stating that that body, meeting at Lugano, had just adopted a resolution ‘“recommending that women be invited as consultants to the conference at The Hague in 1929,” before which body will come the ques- tion of nationality, in which women are vitally concerned, as it is their na- tionality which is affected the most seriously by laws now existing. A revision of nationality laws to per- mit women to retain their nationality after marriage and an adjustment of those concerning children are subjects absorbing the attention of the Inter- American Commission at present. Its members have been making a thorough survey of the situation at present and | cutlining & plan of revision which they consider would improve women’s status in this respect, in anticipation of such action on the part of the League as was recommended last week by its council. They plan to offer their findings to the members of the session at The Hague, if e invitation mmended in the fesolution is forthcoming. Representative Edw Kiess of Pennsylvania, chairman of the msularl £ffairs committee, sponsored the bill which was passed Thursday by a unan- | imous vote, granting suffrage to the vomen of Porto Ric: ‘The bill s in he form of an amendment to !hl:‘l rganic act of Porto Rico stating “that ! he right to vote shall not be denied on | ccount of sex.” Its passage has been | rged vigorously be the woman sui- | ragists of Porto Pico as well as by the | yoman's Party here.
