Prof. A. H. Hobbs,

My dear Professor Hobbs:
"In the Michigan Daily for Dec. 7,
a resolution framed by you, is reported
to have been passed by the Army and,
Navy club. In this resolution youf
protest against the oath which you'
say is taken by members of the Wo-]
men's International League for Peacel
and. Freedom.
"Feeling that one in your position
desires, above all else, to be accurate,
I would respectfully refer you to the
printed matter enclosed. In partic-
ular, you will note the correction of
a similar mistatement, coming froml
our national secretary, Miss Amy

our members at the time of the Wash-I
ington Conference on Disarmament
!when Gen. John F. O'Ryan said, "I
should be a traitor to my country if
I did not do everything in my power
to abolish war."
"'We question the wisdom or justice
of a man in your public position im-!
puting treason to the large and grow-!
ing number of loyal Americans who!
Iwould substitute law for war."'"
(Signed) Amy Woods, acting secretary'
Women's International League for
Peace and Freedom
April, 1923
"You will note also the object of
the organization:.
"To promote that peace between na-
I tions, races and classes which is based
on justice and good-will, to outlaw
war, and to co-operate with women
from other countries who are work-
ing for the same ends.
"The folder enclosed announces the
fact that the Fourth Biennial Con-
gress of the Women's International'
League for Peace and Freedom,, is to
be held in Washington in May, 1924.

'It appears that The Women's Peace
League supported by The Women's:
International League for Peace, is cir-:
culating a pledge . . . With this
pledge propaganda goes a request for
25 cents to be sent to Mrs. Henry
Villard of New York City.'
"I am very glad to learn from Mrs.
Atkinson that the pledge, so far as
her league is concerned, 'is not an
