PACIFISTS DENY DOVE'S COTE IS BUILT BY REDS
BY MAURINE WATKINS.
All was peaceful yesterday at the Peace school of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom.
And will continue to be so, according to the officers of the league.
But Legion men who object to "the organization that promulgates the slacker's oath" say that things may pep up a bit when they reach such subjects as "Non Violence as a Religious Principle" and "The Outlawry of War," and when Rosika Schwimmer, communist ambassador, speaks.
"It is highly embarrassing to have the delegates hailed as 'reds' and 'Bolshevists' before they even landed in this country," Miss Jane Addams, international president of the organization, said. "The newspapers here -- as in Washington, where we just closed our congress -- expect a riot, but there'll be none. We're not that sort."
"We are classified as 'nonresisters' when we are merely a group of women seeking to find some means of preventing war. And some one should do that, don't you think?" And she gave the earnest, sincere Jane Addams smile.
