Circular Letter to Executive Committee.
Series of 1920, No. 1.
Geneva, February 17th, 1920.
Dear ↑Miss Addams,↓
I have had the pleasure of a visit from Frau Hertzka returning from Scandinavia, London and Paris, and from Kathleen Courtney returning from Vienna. Their visit gave opportunity to discuss many aspects of our work and was in every way a great stimulus and help.
It was felt that there is a sense of confusion and of dispersal of efforts when all sorts of proposals sometimes of quite minor importance are received from different sections or individuals. The following ruling is submitted to the Executive Committee and you are asked either to vote yes or no upon it (giving your reasons if you will) or to make substitute proposal.
To avoid dispersion of the efforts of the League the Executive Committee rules that hereafter no proposals for new work shall be transmitted to National Sections without having been passed upon and approved by the two vice-presidents and the secretary-treasurer either unanimously or by two of the three.
Since work already planned at Zurich and since it covers a very wide field, members are urged not to suggest new undertakings except and when an emergency arises. On the other hand we must always be ready for [fresh] initiative when changing conditions make new demands upon us or open new channels of usefulness.
May this office ask for an immediate acknowledgement of receipt of this letter (refer to Ex.Com. 1920-1) and a reply as prompt as possible.
