League Women Voters debate world court stance at convention
Des Moines April 14 The fourth armist convention failed to insert a league of nations endorsement into the war prevention resolution after a split over the league of nations issue. The body approved open diplomacy and support for a permanent international court while avoiding a direct international conference call. Miss Tut Morgan praised the accord as a path to permanent peace though partisan debate persisted in other items. The convention also backed continued state administration of minimum wage laws and urged protection for women in industry through wage legislation. A motion to open the diplomatic service to women was declined, and no action was taken on American Indian policy.
