June 19, 1944 Dear Mr. G.O.P. Delegate: The Women’s National Peace Con- vention, June 18, 1944, passed the following resolution: “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 jong as he adheres to his unequivocal stand on Nationalism as opposed to interna- tionalism.” This should impress you because: 1. There were 40 states represented. 2 These delegates are the mothers of boys who are dying daily for this country. & The work of implementing the resolutions will be done by these women in their own states, by earrying the gospel of National- ism from door to door, 4. These women know and they will tell it—that Mr. Dewey is sim- ply a foil fo insure Mr. Roose- velt’s reelection. (The choice of Mr. Dewey by you would be a hoax on the American people, the same as was committed in 19491. “WOMEN’S VOICE & The Republican party can save America only by an announced stand on Nationalism. Our boys have been betrayed by fair’ words. The planners of this , war want an international Govern- ment, an international police force, a international bank—all paid for by eslaved American people. ; We are telling you -- We their mothera are fighting for our coun- try and our boys, and we are 65% of the vote. GIVE US AN AMER- ICAN FOR CANDIDATE. Sincerely yours, .

Thank you for the resolution ad- opted by the convention, and your encouraging letter. First of all I am so glad I was among the women at the convention. If feels so good to be surrounded by a group who really understand each other, and - just now, on the subject we are work- ing on.«I really feel hopeful we have accomplished something at this convention. All we have to do: is not to let it relax anymore. al I have made 2g copies or the reso lutions and given them away to the women I came in contact and asked them for support and to pass it on among their friends. Everyone says it is very good, One day thia week I came down- town and stopped in the office of the two newspapers to influence them to write on the women's movement for Peace; and I will write on our idea to my Congressman too. There are some more suggestions I woald bring about, which will lead to @ break-up of the murder-business, One is: declare the airplane as ne weapon, for it kills women and children and destroyes their homes, Seheig- nrost be tone among tea 7 soldiers and sailors only.
