April 13, 1921.

Dear Madam,

Dr. Budzińska-Tylicka, President of the Political Club of Polish Women has telegraphed us asking us to manifest our solidarity with Polish Women in protesting against the attitude of Colonel Chardigny at a sitting of the Council of the League of Nations on March second tending to exclude women from voting in the Villa plebiscite. They point out that a protest now will tend to prevent future attempts in the same sense.

In response to this appeal I am sending the following letter to Sir Eric Drummond. May I suggest that our National Sections take similar action and get publicity for the question in the press.

Yours very cordially,

(Signed) Emily Greene Balch.
Secretary-Treasurer.
