Lady Aberdeen likened the Council to n women's League of Nations which, however, she declared. "would not evade its responsibilities."

"I ask all women to launch a world-wide campaign to save humanity from war, The menage comes from those nations which want to expand and which are arming to destroy their brother-nations."

Lady Aberdeen concluded with an appeal for the respect of personal liberty, o essential to the well-being of mankind".

VOICE OF THE MOTHERS

Asked if she thought the present European situation would mean war, Lady Aberdeen said "No," adling.

"We women have firmly de elded that I shall not be, England Is ngalust war. The young will not have it, and finally the mothers of the world are all opposed to waP."

Other speakers Included Miss Perkins, U. S. Secretary for Labour, and Maie, Brunschweig. French Under-Secretary for Education.

Queen Marie of Yugo-Slavia and her mother, Queen Marie of Runanla, are taking a speelal interest in the Congress.
