This communication was proposed by Mrs. Philip Snowden of England and
seconded by Miss Jeanette Rankin of the United States.
Another resolution protested against the prolongation of the blockade as
bringing starvation and death to innumerable innocent women and children
of the Central Powers. It also urged that all resources of the world,
food, raw materials, finance, transport should be organized immediately
for the relief of the peoples, in order to serve humanity and bring
about the reconciliation and union of the peoples. A third resolution
demanded representation in the League of Nations for women, and that
Miss Addams be the first woman representative. At its concluding session
the Congress voted unanimously to call a world-wide strike of women in
the event another war be declared, even if such a war should be
sanctioned by the League of Nations.

WOMAN TRIUMPHANT.
The wonderful spirit displayed by many millions of women during the
World War gave foundation to the hope that universal suffrage would be
an inevitable result of the war, and that the law-makers of all the
belligerent countries would no longer deny this crowning privilege to
those mothers, wives, and sisters, who had worked so nobly, suffered so
keenly, and endured so patiently through the long years of this cruel
catastrophe. In a large number of countries this expectation has been
verified. To name them in chronological order, we begin with neutral
=Denmark=, which in 1915 granted to her women full parliamentary
suffrage and eligibility. Nine women were elected to Parliament.
=Iceland= extended to her women the same rights, and one woman was sent
to Parliament.
