Other 1915 planks of the Woman's Peace Party were: A 'Concert of
Nations" to supersede "Balance of Power;" the removal of the economic causes
of war; and the appointment by our government of a commission of men and
women, with an adequate appropriation, to promote international peace. In 1916
there were added an opposition to compulsory military service; a recommenda-
tion for a joint commission to deal with United States-Oriental problems; and
a statement of the principle that military protection for foreign investments
should not be expected.
The next annual meeting was held eleven months later, in December
of 1916. It took up the problems of minorities and the solutions which might
be effected through the federal form of government; and also discussed the
famines which were widespread in many countries, pointing out the direct con-
nection of famine and war.
The whole of the year 1916 and the first months of 1917 were saddening,
filled with unheeded protests by the Woman's Peace Party against the imperial-
ism of the South American policy and against the change of feeling, both in the
administration and at large, which led is into the World War. When the
country was at war, nothing was left but even vainer protests, as for instance
against conscription without a referendum, or on behalf of the conscientious
objectors. The National Board, at its first meeting after America entered the
war, declared to the branches: "We have avoided all criticism of our Government
as to the declaration of war, and all activities that could be considered as obstruc-
tive in respect to the conduct of the war and this not as a counsel of prudence,
but as a matter of principle.*
In the same statement the work of the State Branches is described.
Being in their work independent of the National Board, they had been following
various lines, some in Red Cross work, food conservation, and other war relief
efforts; others in protecting civil liberties; others in lectures and classes on
international justice.
At the annual meeting of the Woman's Peace Party in December, 1917,
continued work was urged for a League of Nations and for substituting law for
war. "Let those of opposed opinions be loyal to the highest that they know,
and let each understand that the other may be equally patriotic." With this
spirit the peace-lovers went forward into the passions and the bleak hatred of
the war months.
When peace came, and the Peace Conference was announced to meet
in Paris, plans were upset. The Women's International Committee for Perma-
nent Peace bad expected to meet at the same time and place as the treaty
negotiators; but since Paris was not neutral territory and women from the
Central Powers could not come there, Zurich was hastily decided on.
The Zurich Congress passed unanimously a strong resolution on the
famine and the food blockade, asking that the inter-allied machinery already in
existence be used for peace, through the immediate distribution of necessities.
No action was taken by the Paris Conference on this plan.
When the Treaty of Versailles was made public the Zurich Congress
was in actual session and was, we believe, the first body to protest the terms.
Protest it did, in no uncertain language. Its series of resolutions began as
follows:
"This International Congress of Women expresses its deep regret that
the Terms of Peace proposed at Versailles should so seriously violate the
principles upon which alone a just and lasting peace can be secured, and which
the democracies of the world had come to accept.
"By guaranteeing the fruits of the secret treaties to the conquerors, the
Terms of Peace tacitly sanction secret diplomacy, deny the principles of self-
determination, recognize the right of the victors to the spoils of war, and create
all over Europe discords and animosities, which can only lead to future wars."
The diplomats were patient though unmoved. The Allied press was
bitterly critical, for few people at that time saw the danger in the Versailles
Treaty. Only after a year or two did the views now common begin to develop.
Suggestions on the League of Nations were made to the Conference,
but also without effect. The Zurich Congress could not approach unity on the
question of whether to advocate the League, as then set up, and so no position
was officially taken.
Many women told the Congress of their experiences in the war, or in
the revolutions which several countries had undergone. There was no unbar-
casement, much less bitterness, in these exchanges between recent "enemies."
seated to President Coolidge and were published under the title "Occupied
Haiti." They advised particularly that an official inquiry be authorized, and
subsequently, under President Hoover, such an inquiry was undertaken. The
findings of this official commission, which coincided closely with those of the
W. I. L., resulted in the withdrawal of the marines and new treaty arrange-
ments.
The W. I. L. policy of combating imperialism has found additional
expression in action in regard to Cuba, Nicaragua, and Liberia, with important
results.
Professor Francis B. Sayre of the Harvard Law School, who was later
appointed Assistant Secretary of State by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, was
asked by the W. I. I.. in 1927 to draft a. model arbitration treaty. This was
widely circulated by our group, laying the foundation for the understanding of
the Kellogg-Briand Pact. Mr. Sayre's model was actually being circulated six
months before M. Briand made his proposal which led to the Peace Pact. In
the same year thirty thousand signatures were collected, asking President
Coolidge to initiate the treaties for the outlawry of war. At the presentation
of these to the President he announced his intention of beginning conversations
with M. Briand on the subject of an outlawry of war treaty. The W. I. L.
continued pressing this matter until it was finally brought to a successful con-
clusion in 1929, with ratification by the Senate of the Kellogg-Briand Pact.
It was in 1927 also that a threatened war with Mexico was stopped in the
nick of time, our army turned back from its journey to the border, by the
concerted protests of pacifists all over .0se country.
An interim Congress met in Honolulu in the summer of 1928. The
following winter the W. I. L. helped in the work that brought about the cutting
of the cruiser-building program from se lenty-one to fifteen, and influenced the
abandonment of two imperialistic loans, the Manchurian loan to Japan and the
Cumberland proposal for a loan to Nicaragua.
The Sixth Congress, meeting in Prague in 1929, was marked by the
resignation of Miss Addams as International President and the appointment
of an executive committee to succeed her. Miss Addams was elected and
remained until her death, Honorary International President.
The W. I. L. had long advocated a general disarmament conference.
In 1932 this finally came to pass in Geneva. To this Conference pacifists brought
over eight million signatures on petitions for disarmament. Of these, six million,
for total and universal disarmament, had been collected by W I. L. workers, by
ceaseless activity in many countries. In America a Peace Caravan started at
Los Angeles, traveled ten thousand miles in aprogress across the country,
holding meetings and gathering signatures, and finally arrived in Washington
with a great escort of cars. The East Room of the White House was crowded
with women from many states as bundle after bundle of petitions was passed
up to President Hoover. The petitions were later taken to Geneva for the
opening of the Disarmament Conference.
Jane Addams with Mrs. Franklin D Roosevelt and Mrs. Hannah Clothier Hull
at the dinner held in her honor on May 2, 1935, in Washington, D. C.,
commemorating the twentieth anniversary of the League.

The name of the organization became The Women's International
League for Peace and Freedom, and be headquarters was changed to Geneva
to be near the League of Nations. Emily Greene Balch was elected International
Secretary and Jane Addams, who had been International Chairman, was made
International President. She continued in this office until her resignation in
1929, when she was appointed Honorary President.
A few months later the Woman's Peace Party held its annual meeting
and voted to become the United States section of the reorganized body. From
here on this brief outline will confine itself chiefly to the United States section.
The story is one of unremitting labor for many principles, and of translating
them into governmental action. The most important of these we shall try to trace.
In April of 1920 the United States Women's International League met
again, and found itself at variance on the League of Nations question—that is,
on whether to support the existing League. This continued for some years, the
W. L L. declaring its hope for "a League of Nations which renounces economic
and military coercion." Finally, at the annual meeting in 1927, recognizing the
League as likely to continue in its present form for some time, the W. I. 1...
voted that it "desires to see the United States enter the League of Nations,
providing only that it does so with the understanding that the United States is
exempt from any obligation to ... join in exerting military pressure."
Points set forth in 1915 and still maintained by the W. L I.. include:
education of youth for peace: measures to remove the economic causes of war;
total and universal disarmament; pacific settlement of international disputes and
establishment of legal machinery for such settlement. In 1920 we first enunciated
our stand against military training, and in 1922 against lynehing.
The aftermath of the war brought many calls for help: the terrible
famine in Europe; and in the United States the fever of deportations, the
conscientious objectors and other political prisoners still in jail, the curtailment
of constitutional liberties. Pan-American relations demanded attention, for
American imperialism in Haiti and San Domingo still continued, and Mexico
was in the turmoil of a new government.
The third International Congress in 1921, held in Vienna, discussed
education and the problems of minorities and passed a resolution that, since
class struggles as well as national confl;cts were evil, the members should strive
"to transform the economic system it. the direction of social justice." This
declaration received much sensational comment and many wild accusations.
The Washington Conference on Limitation of Armaments, in 1922,
enlisted the energies of the W. I. L., as of American pacifists generally.
Apparently their influence was felt by the American delegates. Later in this
year a W. I. L. Emergency . Conference met at The Hague, calling for revision
of the Treaties and for an mternationa? economic conference. It is interesting
to note that the French section protested with the others the Poincare policy
of French occupation of German territory.
In 1923 much work was done in the United States to spread information
on the provisions of the National Defense Act. An analysis of this Act was
published by the W. I. L. and widely noticed.
The following year Washington was chosen as the seat of the fourth
International Congress, to which delegates Caine from twenty-two European
countries. At the close the European women were sent on a tour as far as
St. Louis in a train called the Pax Special. They visited twenty-three cities
holding meetings and making speeches. The fifth International Congress took
place in Dublin in 1926, adopting an excellent statement of objectives.
During 1925 and 1926 especial attention was given in the United States
to the problem of economic and financial imperialism. We were successful in
1925 in having drafted and introduced into both houses of Congress a resolution
aimed against economic imperialism (Sen. Con. Res. No. 22, 1925, and Zen.
Con. Res. No. 15, 1927.) This bill was especially devised to prevent the United
States from becoming involved on behalf of citizens' investments in foreign
countries.
The W. I. L.'s standing protest on the Haitian situation found concrete
expression when, in 1926, we sent to Haiti a committee of six—including two
colored women—to study conditions there. Their recommendations were pre-
While this Conference was in process, the W. I. L.'s own seventh
International Congress convened in Grenoble. according to the now established
policy of holding a session every three years. In September, 1934, an emergeenn ccyy
Congress met in Zurich at which the statement of aims was revised and enlarged.
In the meantime, the continuo is effort of nineteen years to find a way
of curbing the private profits and traffic in munitions had come to a climax.
In January, 1934, Senator Gerald P. Nye agreed to introduce a resolution into
Congress to investigate the manufacture of armaments. After the appointment
of the committee to conduct the heal:age, the W. I. L. put all of its power
into nation-wide publicity and suppor of the investigation. 1934 also marks
the passage of the bill to give indepersience to the Philippines. Since 1921 the
League had worked for such a step.
Efforts of peace workers to :ring the United States into the World
Court seemed about to reach success in 1935; but after a hard-fought battle
the plan was defeated. This failure, disappointing though it was, left a renewed
determination to carry on the work fo: the court.
The League celebrated in 1.9:.;5 its twenty years of activity. At an
around-the-world broadcast from Washington on May 3rd, ambassadors and
statesmen paid tribute to the League a ad to one of its founders, Jane Addams.
The addresses which honored her, and her reply linked in a few minutes the
capitals of five nations as the speaker: took up the program in Great Britain,
France, Russia, Japan and the United :States, a new experiment in international
hookup which proved a complete succtss.
Three weeks later Jane Addams died, her generous life fulfilled. The
stone above her grave reads thus:
JANE ADDAMS
HULL HOUSE
WOMEN'S INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE
—a fitting memorial of a spirit that expressed itself in action and courageous
service.
Aware of rising international tensions, the W. I. L. in 1936-'37 cooper-
ated in the two year Emergency Peace Campaign. It also joined with some
forty national organizations in setting t:p the National Peace Conference. This
body adopts a wide common program into which the specialized aims of the
different groups fit but commits no organization without its specific approval.
The ninth International Congress met in 1937 at Luhacovice, Czecho-
Slovakia, with the cordial cooperation if the Czech government, local officials
and business organizations. A large group attended from the United States,
meeting there leading women from all parts of Europe. Since then the U. S.
Section has assisted with plans to give aid and hospitality to many of these
same persons, as well as others, now political refugees from the land of
their birth.
Appeals from members in Put- to Rico led to a two-day conference in
Washington on March 8-9, 1940, on the 'whole question of United States policy in
this island. The speeches were sufficiently important for printing and public
distribution and were a continuation of our work through the years for better
relations with Nicaragua, Haiti, hies co, Cuba, and other Latin American
countries.
The furious outburst of European war in September, 1939, has not
surprised us — it has only filled us w th sorrow. George Lansbury, famous
English peace leader, said shortly before his death, "Some day they will know
that we are right." We continue to strive towards peace in many lines of
endeavor, leaving no way untried that may help toward the beautiful, the distant,
the inevitable, goal. As Jane Addams wrote in "Peace and Bread," nothing
could be worse than the fear that one had given up too soon, bad left one effort
unexpended which might have helped tt.e world.

ANERIOLF LABOR
"The people of the world demand freedom from the burden of
armament and they demand a world organized for peace."
"The people of the rorld do not =ant an eronoe for failure --
they do not even ::ant a retteen for failure." -- baMgael uompera.
The convention of 1887 declared for international arbitration
as a substitute for war and its armaments in the settlement of
international disputes, and stated: "The American Federation of
Labor has been entrusted with the solemn duty of defending the
best interests of the working people of America. The demands of
the working people will never be fully heard in all their strength
and nobility of aspiration until the nations of the world mutually
agree to refrain from the fraticidal strife that has so often
brought misery and desolation into many millions of happy homes.
The working class, the class that always has to bear the brunt of
war, has the most profound interest in the establishment and
maintenance of peace."
The 1921 convention of the American Federation of labor,
declared: "The cause of disarmament and international peace can
be promoted by creating and stimulating a public sentiment that
will not tolerate waste of life and by establishing international
relations, understanding:3, and agencies that will constitute in-
superable barrier to policies of force and destruction. With
ihumanization, education, cultivation, and the establishment of
the rule of reason, occasions for wars and wars themselves pill
cease. The working people, the masses of the world population,
can end wars if they but have the independence to think and to
give their convictions reality by daring to do. For this and
many other obvious reasons this convention calls upon the
Government of the United States to take the initiative or to co-
operate with any other nation or nations for the purpose of a
general agreement for disarmament both of the army and the na0.l
affairs of the world and that it shall be the duty of the
Executive Council to call upon the workers end the people to
in every way within their power and to translate into action the
sentiments reoommended."

THE HAGUE SMS
Date: May I to May 7, 1924. Place: Washington, U. S. A. Subject: A New International Order
The League met for the first time at The Hague in* 1915 to protest against the war and to formulate prin-
ciples of permanent peace.
A second Congress was held in 1919 hi Zurich at the end of the war which analyzed the Versailles Treaty and
reported hack to the Peace Conference then sitting in Paris those parts of the Treaty which they believe contain
the seeds of new wars.
The third Congress, held in Vienna, 1921, reaffirmed the principles of the League and laid plans for active
work, especially in southeastern Europe.
In December, 1922, because of the threatening conditions in Europe, the League called an Emergency Con-
ference at The Hague. One hundred ten organizations with aggregate membership of ten million men and
women were represented. The Conference resolved to work unremittingly for a World Congress to be called
by the League of Nations, a single nation, or a group of ,nations to achieve a New Peace.
Today:; with the same high courage with which the members of the League faced militarism during ten tragic
yearCtbey hope to find a way to reorganize international relations through the political andWatmic and spiritual
'fortes which underlie all human endeavor.
