Women And Peace
Church Suppers1 Will Help, Says Clubwoman
By ADELAIDE KERR
AP Newsfeatnres Writer
Women had belter bestir them
selves if they want the peace foun
dations laid at San Francisco to
stick,” says one of their leaders,
who attend^ the recent world se
curity conference.
She is Margaret Hickey, Presi
dent of the National Federation
of Business and Professional Wo
men’s Clubs and Chairman of the
Women’s Advisory Committee of
the War Manpower Commission.
“This is no time to sit back and
relax,” Miss Hickey said on a
recent New York visit. “We have
the blueprint for a peace machin
ery, but not the reality— and af
ter the machine does become a
reality, we shall have to make
it hold together. For all this wo
men have a tremendous respon
sibility.
“History proves that what the
people demand they get. Peace
will hold according to the force of
Dublic opinion. Women can do a
jreat deal here through the edu
ction of their children, through
ntroducing discussion at' their
linner parties and study in the
lome and through lively commun
ty activities. Just consider what
cn be done at a series of good
:hurch suppers followed by round
able discussion and you will see
he power which women can wield
or peace if they put their minds
o it.”
Miss Hickey, who was discuss
ng women and peace as she
jreakfasted in her hotel suite,
jaused a moment to pour a second
:up of coffee and then went on.
“People have a very fuzzy idea
ibout peace. They think of it as a
lerfect state and it isn’t going to
>e. In war it is just plain foolish
iess not to get along with your
lilies. But in peace we may not be
o careful and there is danger in
heir attitude.
“Compromise are made through
•ffcBt to unde^'.and the other •
ellow’s country—his problems, 1
ights and points of view'. The oth- i
ir evening I talked to a young i
oldier just back from Italy. He i
aid. ‘It’s a terrible country! For 1
me thing nobody speaks English.’ <
asked him if he had tried to learn i
talian and his answer was ’No, of ]
:ourse not.’ 1
MARGARET HICKEY . . .
“There are millions like him all
)ver the world. To them the rest
)f the world if “foreign’ and the
'foreigners' ari always wrong,
rhat point of view has to be
changed completely if peace is to
lold. And it is here that women
:an do important work at hom£
md in the community.”
Miss Hickey spoke earnestly.
She is one of America's outstand
ng career women. She began her
ousiness career during World War
! and then when she reached an
office manager's job in 1923. she
Iropped it to study law. She was
idmitted to the Missouri bar in
'928. practiced for some time in
It. Louis, Mo., and then resigned
o found a St. Louis school for
ousiness women. In private life
ihe is the wife of Joseph Stru
oinger, a St. Louis lawyer.
She always has been active in
mcational guidance and, from
ime to time has brought together

lents in job clinics. She also works
