International Women’s Council closes amid protests and disarmament push
The International Council of Women wrapped its ten day convention amid criticism from external groups accusing pacifism and internationalism. American Legion Auxiliary head Mrs. O D Oliphant called delegates a propaganda party while National Council of Women president Mrs. Philip N Moore denied the charges. The gathering backed gradual disarmament under the League of Nations, a stance that led German delegates to abstain due to language about France arming for security. In Germany’s political shift post Dawes plan, Hindenburg’s oath and republic support were noted as the Communists protested monarchism while the new president met state officials and addressed railway funding pressures affecting war debts.
