Professionals

Portland, Oregon, saw the assembling of the seventh annual Convention of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women. Its president, Mrs. Lena Lake Forrest of Detroit, made her annual address, saying: " There seem to me to be but two issues or two programs before the world today--one a program of peace, the other a program of war. Which are we going to accept ? . . . The biggest thing that we business women can do is to use our influence and every effort in every way that tends toward the peace program of the world." Judge Florence E. Allen of the Ohio Supreme Court spoke later in a similar vein: " We have certain laws about war, but none against war. . . . Even as the ancient code declared ' Thou shall not kill,' so surely must the modern code declare ' Thou shalt not war.'"
