10 THE . SU. AY. STAR, . WASHINGTOYN, D. €, FEBRUARY.3 1920—PART 3. CLUBWOMEN OF THE NATION Confer on National Defense—Congressional Club to Elect Offi- cers—Democratic Women Hear Miss Carlson. Feminists Have Hearing. BY CORINNE FRAZIER. RGING the necessity for putting force into the arm making the gesture for international peace, the Women's Patriotic Confer- ence on National Defense as- sembled in Washington last week with 38 patriotic organizations represented, and put itself on record as favoring the cruiser bill, without time limita- tions, and any other measures looking toward adequate military or naval de- fense for the United States. “The multilateral peace treaty is a commendable gesture,” said Paul V. McNutt, national commander of the American Legion, in an address be- fore the opening session of the confer- ence Tuesday evening at Memorial Con- tinental Hall, which, from its enthu- siastic reception, voiced the united sentiments of the assembly. “But what does a gesture mean if there is no force in the arm which makes it? Let America sign the treaty to outlaw war as a national policy—with this I am heartily in accord—but let her sign it with a strong right arm—an arm which has the power to defend itself against infringements or invasions—so that other nations, knowing that we are prepared to maintain the peace for which we have expressed a desire, will respect our views on the subject. s the world stands today the great- | est assurance we can have of peace is adequate preparation for war. Aggres- sors are not looking for a strong op- ponent, but an easy victim.” “We patriotic women desire peace,” sald Mrs. Boyce Ficklen, jr, chairman 4 the conference. “But I think I now the temper of you who are as- sembled here when I say that * * * we will never let America disarm while other nations are arming. In a cen- tury and a half of our national life America has never engaged in a war for which we l\vere prepared. Let us rofit by past lessons. * * * 5 "Ever§ ‘:rue-heamd patriotic Amer- jcan woman stands squarely behind an adequate program of self-defense for the United States of America. gathered here tonight to let America know this.” “America is opposed to aggression and We are | MRS. LOUIS C. CRAMTON, Candidate for president of the Congres- sional Club. Mrs. Cramton now serves as chairman of the cook book com-| mittee. to imperialism in all its forms,” declared Sennt':" Frederick Steiner of Oregon. “We disapprove domination of powerful | nations over the weak and every man- | ner of duress. We are opposed to com- petition between nations in naval arma- ments. Almost universally we desire peace. With peace we seek reasonable security against attack made upon us| or unon our people by other powers. | Those who came in contact with the last war know that we do not want more war. Every proposal in our interna- tional policy ought to be in the direc- tion of ce. 3 “A sigprfl.flca.nt step in this direction is the recently ratified Kellogg-Briand treaty. I want to make 'a brief ref- erence to this treaty and to the degree of security which we have achieved by means of the treaty. The treaty had my heartiest support. It renounces war as a policy and pledges the nations ‘bound by the treaty to seek settlement of in- ternational controversy by pacific means, and yet the strongest advocates of this treaty, both at home and abroad, have recognized that the right of self-defense is inherent in national existence and that it may not be bartered away by treaty. Probably no nation would have accepted the treaty, and certainly the United States would not have adhered to it, except upon the theory that it pre- served the right of self-defense.” * kX * “IN no way do we care to have our country outdistanced,” said Mrs. Alfred Brosseau, director general of the Daughters of the American Revolution, “which impels us to declare that we are not yet ready to subscribe to the theory that adequate defense is fallacious or smacks of imperialism. “It might be, were the United States. alone of all the great powers which have become signatories to the peace pact, of that mind. But so long as other nations deem protection a neces- sity for their borders, their coast lines, their commerce and their peoples, there is no reason why this country should not exercise the same justi- fiable precaution in regard to all that which it claims as its own. “The first steps toward world peace have been taken, and there is no nor- mal individual who would wish to see them retraced or retarded in their fur- th.r progress. At the same time, ‘who would crush entirely—especially at this point of apparent international readjustment—the instinct of self- preservation, protection of one’s own and the defense of those who are weaker?” Viewing the question of national de- fense from another angle, Senator Da- vid A. Reed of Pennsylvania discussed the need rolr careful supervision of | immigration laws: "I:Bris up to us Americans who do not hyphenate our allegiance, ‘who look to America as our own country, t0| insist that the law discriminates against no one. But we must not allow the gates to be thrown open to the trash of Europe and those who escape from serving jail sentences if they will emi- ate.” “The immigration law, he added, is a part of America’s defense in peace time, just as important an adjunct as the Army or Navy. “Keep this fortress around our fron- tier,” he concluded, “to repulse this horde that would come here and change the character of this Nation that we all so dearly love.” Two other speakers of note on the three-day program of the conference were Rear Admiral R. E. Coontz and Assistant Secretary of War Col. C. B. Robbins, who outlined the present status and the needs of America’s mil- litary and naval forces. “Weakness is never a protection. It simply invites aggression and disregard of one's rights,” said Admiral Coontz. “If weak, we are always in a position to be slapped in the face in time of war between European nations. Bluff- ing will not work then. Without ade- quate defense we are forever in danger. ‘We need a first-class Navy.” Senator Hiram Bingham of Connec- ticut addressed the closing session on “Treaties,” citing their value and their limitations. * * X ¥ 'WO such charming and well equip- | ped candidate have been nomi- nated for the office of president of the Congressional Club that_the matter of balloting in favor of one or the other will be extremely difficult, according to the members, who are to gather at the clubhouse, on New Hampshire ave- nue, Wednesday morning to select their new roster of officers. In addition to the election of a president, five vice presidents, corresponding and recordnig secretaries and a treasurer are to be named. Mrs. Porter H. Dale, wife of Senator Dale of Vermont, and Mrs. Louis C. Cramton, wife of Representative Cram- ton of Michigan, are the two presi- dential nominees. Mrs. Cramton is the senior in point of club service. She has been affiliated with the group for the past 16 years. During that time she has filled several chairmanships in addition to the of- fice of vice president in 1924-25. Her most notable service to the club has been as chairman of the cook book committee of which she is the perma- nent head. It was Mrs. Cramton’s idea to publish a congressional cook book for the bene- fit of the house fund. Recipes gathered ifrom Washington's entire official fam- ily, from the wives of the President and MRS. PORTER H. DALE, Who has been nominated for the presi- dency of the Congressional Club. Mrs. Dale is chairman of the hostess com- mittee under the present administra- tion. The new executive will relieve Mrs, Peter Goelet Gerry, retiring presi- lent were incorporated, in addition to some 60-odd international dishes suggested by the diplomatic women and wives of our Ambassadors and Ministers in foreign lands. It was an ambitious venture, but so well launched and so carefully piloted through editorial seas that already, after a single year, it has brought rich treasures to the home port. Today the club has a sum in its treasury, earned by the cook book clear of publi- cation costs, which is adequate to pay off the building debt and to add some long-desired furnishings to the club- house. And more money is coming in right along. Mrs. Cramton proved her executive ability also in the management of one of the famous congressional base ball games two years ago. man of the committee which made ar- rangements for the affair that netted the club $5,000. During the war she served as chair- man of the club sewing circle, which did some much-needed war work. Mrs. Dale has been an equally active participant in the life of the club dur- ing the 10 years she has been here and in addition has been prominent in so- cial service work in Washington. During 1924 and 1925 she served as vice president on the same board with Mrs. Cramton and she is now chair- man of the hostess committee. It is with deep regret that the club will bid good-by to Mrs. Peter Goelet Gerry, who has served as president dur- ing the past two years. Mrs. Gerry's administration has been the most bril- liant socially in the history of the club. Through her untiring efforts, and through those of her committeewomen, the members have enjoyed a delightful series of entertainments, which have kept the clubhouse gay continually throughout the Winter season. No executive is permitted to accept two consecutive nominations in the Congressional Club, so Mrs. Gerry would be retiring from the chair even though she were not bidding at least a tem- porary farewell to her Washington friends. g Nine vice presidential nominees have been offered for the five offices to be filled, these including Mrs. Lewis T. McFadden, , Mrs. S. Wallace Dempsey, Mrs. Herbert J. Drane, Mrs. Clarence F. Lea, Mrs. C. W. Ramseyer, Mrs. Mor- ris Sheppard, Mrs. Tom Connally, Mrs. Joe Manlove and Mrs. August Andresen. Mrs. Daniel A. Reed has been named for recording secretary, Mrs. Joe Crail for corresponding secretary and Mrs. Clay Stone Briggs for treasurer. The ballct will open at 10 o'clock ‘Wednesday morning and close at 12 noon. Miss Gudrun Carlson, United States trade commissioner at Oslo, Norway, was the speaker at the weekly forum luncheon last Monday at the Woman'’s National Democratic Club. “Women who go into a mnew field which men have formerly monopolized,” said Miss Carlson who was appointed by | speakers, She was chair- | C. missioner, “must be careful not to go into it through influence. They must gd well prepared on merit alone if they expect to make a sucess of their job and to open the way for others of their sex. They will have to fight prejudice and the only effective weapon is a accurate knowledge of their work and ability to cope with its problems.” Among those entertaining at the luncheon were Mrs. Alvin Dodd, Mrs. David Tucker Brown, Mrs. Samuel Major, Mrs. O. M. Spencer, Mrs. John F. Shafroth sr., and Mrs. John F. Shafroth, jr.; Mrs. Eugene Barrett, Miss Eleanor Smith, Mrs. George M. Eckels, who presided, and Mrs. Samuel Herrick, Mrs. Frank S.

Members of the National Woman's Party, proponents of the equal rights amendment, were accorded a hearing before the subcommittee of the Senate judiciary committee Friday morning, at which time an imposing delegation of feminists presented their case, with Miss Maude Younger presiding.
