Estelle M. Sternberger, executive director of World Peaceways, condemned present methods of pacifists as ineffectual in an address last night over Station dress over Station WEVD. Her speech, “Can Women Stop the Next War?” suggested a more basic approach to the problem than diplomatic courtesies and quibbling over the size and source of armaments.
“The practical need of the peace movement today,” said Mrs. Sternberger, “is a brain trust comparable to that which is functioning in Washington. The economic war can yield the surrender of titans whose fall affords more lasting satisfaction than the brutal triumphs of the battlefield. The movement for peace must be realistic. It must speak the language of the business world.”
