DECEMBER 21, 1934 - WOMEN PREPARE TO MASS EFFORTS TO REVIVE TRADE - Clubs and Organizations Everywhere to Promote More Buying Special from Mintor Bureau NEW YORK, Dec. 21 - Women, who are said to do 85 per cent of ARBITRATION, NOT ARMS LIMIT, IS SAID BEST WAR PREVENTIVE Special to Christian Science Monitor- RIVERSIDE, Calif., Dec. 15 - Men who reap profits from munitions are not the only impediments in the path of world peace, although they constitute a great stumbling block. This opinion by J. Eugene Harley, professor of political science at the University of Southern California, was presented to the Institute of World Affairs, now in session here at the Mission Inn. He was discussing "Moral Disarmament and the Traffic in Arms." Dr. William B. Munro, California Institute off Technology, during a round-table for the discussion of the economic and social aspects of the New Deal, declared that munitions makers are not, as often charged, the makers of war. Minimizes Preparedness International differences are the causes of war, he said. Men unprepared for battle so far as armaments are concerned, if sufficiently provokes will rush into war and provide themselves afterward with munitions. Arbitration, he said, is more effective in the prevention of war than the senatorial investigation of the munitions makers and a possible tax on munitions profits. [[?]] Mr. McKenzie mentioned the merging of press and propaganda in European countries, notably in Italy and Germany under the control of dictators. In France, he said, the majority of the press is at the disposal of the ministers of government and half the Paris dailies revive and maintain wartime hatreds. He voiced small hope for a change in the foreign newspaper propaganda situation with "the present development and maintenance of acute nationalism." He praised the general run of Anglo-Saxon newspapers in this respect, and the work of their foreign correspondents, and agreed that the Germans have taken a step in the right direction in their agreement with the Poles that propaganda on both sides of the Polish Corridor shall cease. Boulevard Ebell Club at Friday's meeting at the Arboretum. Mrs. Charles introduced Mathaldo Moissant ,second woman to receive her license in this coun-try, in 1911, and Hilda Jarmuth.

The plane, with four occupants, was guided on the 2250-mile flight across the South Atlantic from the Cape Verde Island by radio sig-nals from a Dutch submarine sta-tioned in the middle of the South Atlantic.

[[column following to the right]] [[?]] committee will work to create a representative consumer audience for the International Trade Fair, to be held at the Grand Central Palace in Februray, Mrs. Sporborg said. "I believe the women of this country are offered an opportunity for definite, constructive patriotic service at this time." Mrs. Sporborg said. "For the past several years women's groups have been interesting themselves to an increasing extent in the problems they face as consumers holding the purse strings for 85 per cent of the purchasing done in this country, and the present co-operation of these many outstanding groups in one city perhaps is a forerunner of what women may do nationally to help spur trade recovery. "This is the first time organization women en masse have co-operated in an industrial movement. It is a fine tribute to womanhood that women should stand so ready to back the men in their efforts toward a business recovery." Members of the Consumers' Advisory Committee include Mrs. Herbert H. Lehman, Mrs. Daniel O'Day, Mrs. Oliver Harriman, Mrs. James Lees Laidlaw and many other prominent civic and social leaders.

By CAROLINE WALKER Those business and professional women who make up the Soroptimist club buzzed wtih [[spelling]] resentment at their Biltmore luncheon this week when the famous aviatrix, Major Mary Charles, stated that the government has disqualified women as mail pilots, "because they are not physically able to stand up under the work, are nervous and go to pieces." Came outcries from the very efficient women, most of whom head their own businesses: "Well, what about men? Look at the things men do. Who could be more nervous than men are?" Major Charles, who is one of the officers of the Women's Air Reserve, pointed out that despite the government's stand, women's records show they have fewer accidents than do male pilots. She announced that the reserve will conduct a peace drive throughout this country on May 12. "We are not pacifists, but we are pacific," said the major. "Our desire is to carry a peace program to the millions of women in this country with the thought that air protection means peace and that we need more airships." Miss Matilda Moisant, holder of the second woman's license granted in the United States, paid high tribute to the late Harriet Quimby, holder of the first license. "Harriet Quimby flew the English channel in 1912, after having her first lesson in compass reading just as she got into plane, " said Miss Moisant. "In some ways her achievement is greater than that of Amelia Earheart. The latter is a marvelous flier, but every mile of her flight is charted and she has the finest instruments." Miss Moisant won the woman's altitude record in 1911-after learning to fly with but twor instruments on the board. Today the ususal training ship carries 12 instruments, while some of the latest have 61. FRIDAY CLUB TO NOMINATE [[?]] WOMENS AIR PILOT BAN STIRS CLUB [[?]]
