AUSTRALIAN WOMAN'S VIEWS. LONDON, June 28. “The days of flag-wagging are over. Women realise that Empire unity will be promoted by levelling up conditions', not slavishly adhering.to the traditions of the past.” So says Mi’s- Ruby Rich of Sydney, after attending the British Commonwealth League’s Conference, re. presenting 50,030,000 women, of all nationalities.
“I pledged all the, Australian wo'men I represent to make, '©very sacrifice to secure international control of the arms traffic, abolition of military and naval aircraft and appointment of a permanent Disarmament Commission,” she sajd in a “Sunday Sun” interview.
“The experts at Geneva,” she spiel, “are only creating a smoke screen, behind. which the are increasing, not limiting, armaments. Women have a clearer vision of the horrors of war than men. They are the creators and custodians ,of life, ' and feel a bigger responsibility to protect it. It is terrible to see what they suffered to create destroyed.”
