Addams presides over the second annual meeting of the Woman's Peace Party
Description
The party meets to discuss a wide variety of subjects including actions neutral nations can take to shorten the war, military training, and foreign investments. The business sessions discuss the creation of a joint committee to study relations between the US and Asia as well as possibly convening a third peace conference at The Hague. At the conference, the party adamantly opposes military training. One of the key goals of the conference is to discuss the rights reserved for oppressed and dependent nations. In her address to the conference, Addams objects to the fact that those who stand for peace are perceived by their fellow countrymen as unpatriotic.
