New York, March 24.--Do women really wish to promote peace? Are women's clubs "interested in Inter national relations? Mrs. Thomas G. Winter, Minneapolis, Mina., chair- man of international * relations in the General Federation, wants to know. To stimulate straight think- ing she suggests two definite and im- niediate courses of action as follows: "Start movements for internation- «al understandings in your own Rome circles. Tell and reaa stogies to children concerning the geographic charms, the heroes, the life of dif- ferent nations, widening their sym- pathies. Make a survey of the text books used in your sénools and see if they are teaching distortions. Most American childrén know nothing about the hundred years of peace between ourselves and Great Britain, about the long unarmed frontier be- tween ourselves and Canada, with never & war, but they come out of school with a revolution impression of permanent race antagonism. Build up a demand for text Rs that will emphasize the heroes of peace as well as those of war, and that will teach history from the stand- point of construction forces."
