( a * June 29, 1944 ~ ___ WOMEN’S VOICE ', Page 3 ments which may have been tion and persecution of the Sereeyren by made. Such information shall sovereign people of, tMis nation. mens aTionda eace . ‘ - ° be presented in documentary (5) Wherees, the Federal Reserve . 7 1a” June IZ and 15, Conference Ad Sf | Bir fon ee 3 (1} Whereas, the purported reason for Britain's entrance into the Atlantic conflict was to pre- vent the partition, of Poland, and the purported aims of the Atlantic Charter were “the wish to see sovereign rights and self-government reserved to those who have been for- a ee ee ee SS wud Cibly Utpiiveuw o1 them,” air Whereas, both Britain and the United States have repudiated both the mutual assistance pact between Britain and Poland, as well as the provisions for preservation of the integrity of small nations as set forth in the Atlantic Charter, by agreeing to Russia’s seizure of a_part of Poland, as well as that of the Baltic nations, and Whereas ,the policy_ of the United States and Great Britain of “unconditional surrender” is un-Christian, and will prove futile, resulting in unnecessarily great loss of life in our armed forces, and Whereas ,the- Atlantic conflict is now merely = struggle be- tween Bolshevism and Nazism for the domination of Europe, both of which ideologies are abhorrent to the American peo- ple, and Whereas, it is only too ap- parent that Germany's desire for cessation of hostilities is being ignored by Churchill and Roosevelt, for the purpose of insuring the election of Pres-’ ident Roosevelt for a fourth term Therefore, Be it Resolved, That the United States of America, through its Congress and State Department, transmit overtures for an immediate ar- mistice in the Atlantic theater of war, as a preliminary io # six-months’ “cooling-off” per- iod for all parties concerned. During that interval each na- tion which has been a party to the conflict, shall cause to be published a list of grievances which fed to their participation in the conflict, together with a atatement’ of any commit- (2) form at a peace conference to be hekd in the United States, to the end that there be “open covenants,—openly arrived at.” A majority of the members of this conference shall be men who have been active partici- panta in the Atlantic conflict, —to the end that there'be a "“Soldier’3 Peace,"—which will be a just and lasting one. Whereas, there exists among members of the armed forces, as well as the civilians of this country, great resentment over the secrecy and deceit concern- ing the inexcusable fiasco at Pearl Harbor. Therefore, Be it Resolved, that we transmit to all members of Congress a demand for the immediate court martial of Admiral Kimmei and Generai Short, so that the American people may know the facts. Whereas, our sons are fighting abroad supposedly “to preserve our American way of life,” and Whereas, in their absence Humeroug refugees are being -permitted to enter their coun- try and take their jobs, which will result in a terrible unem- ployment problem upon their teturn Therefore, Be it Resolved, that we demand of our Congress, immediate cessation of all im- migration for at least ten years. * Whereas, the Attorney General has seen fit to indict 29 persons _for seditious conspiracy, many . of whom are patriotic Amer- ican citizens, requiring them to stand trial in a place far distant from their homes,—in direct violation of the provision in our Bill of Rights that per- sons charged with crime shall be tried in the state and dis- trict wherein the alleged crime has been committeed, Therefore, Be it Resolved, that - we demand that Congress im- mediately amend the conspiracy _ statute under which these per- sons have been indicted, 30 as to prevent further misuse of it by the Department of Justice as an instrument of intimida- | . a | Act, enacted at the behest of ¢ertain foreigners and alien- minded native-born citizens, is in direct violation. of our Con- stitutional provisions that our ' Congress shall have the power alone to coin and regulate the value of money of our nation, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that we will support for Congress only such nominees as shall have pledged themselves to re- peal the Federal Reserve Act. ' Whereas, Governor John ‘Bricker of Ohio is the only candidate for the presidency who appears to place the welfare of our country ahead of that of all other nations, Therefore, Be it Resolved, that we will support him as long as he adheres to his unequivocal stand on pationalism as. op- posed to internationalism.
