WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—The fem- inist movement in America is not Soing to run amuck, chasing first one political phantom und then another, if the opinions of leading women as- gembled in Washington to attend the first National Woman's Party con- Fention can be regarded as reflecting ,the trend of the times. ‘The women have decided to pass Mp, at least for the next year, dis- armament, birth control, dress re- form and many other controversial @ubjects, and stick to a programme of conservative feminiem and the firmer establishment of women's fights by removal of ail remaining *legal disabilities. Taken in composite form, a score or More interviewed, by The Evening . World correspondent declared the atm of the feminist movement should be: ‘The removal of the legal disa- Bilities of women. ‘The establishment of a single moral standard. Equality for men and women in ‘the professions. Economic freedom for women in the home. ‘Women in courta and on juries, , Safeguarding . women's new status in the event a super-gov- ernment is set up through a league of nations or an interna- tonal government of any kind. REMOVAL OF DISCRIMINATIONS NOT ENOUGH. Mrs. Agnes Morey, Brookline, Maas., State Chairman of National Woman's Party in Massachusetts, who was a it Suffragist, and served a sen- fence at Occoquan Workhouse for ac- tivities in the picketing troubles at the White House, does not belle that the meré removal of legal dis- eriminations against women will cure all the age-oid injustices of women, “I suppose I am one of those dread- ful things you call a Feminist,” said Mrs. Morey. “I do not think the re- moval of legal discriminations will cover all the discriminations that ex- ist. I feel shat one of the important steps to safeguard women's rights is that, in the event the United States @nters a league of nations of any Kind, there should be a reservation that the membership of that league should be created by equal represen- tation of the women and men in the league. That is, the representatives whould be elected by women as well as men, regardless of whether par- Ucular countries admitted have equal suffrage laws. It is only in that way ‘that women can safeguard the things they have won internationally. So far as our group is concerned, from @n organized point of view, we ought to further the emancipation of women.” . CALLS SITUATION OF THE WIFE HUMILIATING, Mrs, John Rogers of New York City, wife of the well known surgeon, white haired, matronly and dignified, is a veritable crusader for removing all forms of “subjection of women.” “T want the Woman's Party to con- tinue as an organization of womea, to continue working to remove all the remaining forms of the subjection of women,” she told The Eyening World correspondent, “I want us to begin to remove all those laws against Women's interests.

Lawyers do not know it because they were brought up in the tradition of man-made laws, that were made thousands of years ago, when women were mere chattels of men. I shall never be diverted from my purpose to get women out from this condition, which is no one's fault but the result of slow evolution of the ages. I believe that only by making women free and placing the sex upon a platform of absolute equality with men is here any hope for humanity. “I think the position of woman in marriage is now humiliating. 1 think the law should be corrected and new laws should be made which will make marriage a decent occupation for self-respecting women.” Miss Edith Ainge of Jamestown, N. Y¥.: “I think we should work for the final emancipation of women tn all things. We want all discriminatory laws removed and women given an equal chance economically, socially and politically.” Miss Sue White of Jackson, Tenn., ttiat women will never get their rights until they have a fair share noted Southern Suffragist, believes of the legislative, executive and ju- dicial offices. “Mark you, I do not say an equal share,” she said. “Woman cannot get full justice until that is done,” said Miss White, | “Courts have been, and still are, distinctly masculine institutions. They must become human institutions | through the participation of women ‘in the administration and application | of the law, This is just as important her the formulation of the law. Women |should be encouraged to enter the legal profession and to sit as Judges and jurdérs, Until they are fairly rep- resented through the entire structure of the institution there will always be grave doubt as to whether women even receive exact justice in the courts, “Women are, as a matter of fact, oe ALICE PALL.
