BUSINESS GIRLS.
ADDRESS 01* PEACE.
The speaker , 'fft fortnightly' lun«heon for business girls, held yesterday in Milne and Choyce's reception hall, was Mrs. Kenneth Gordon,- and the subject of her address was "What Women May Do for Peace." Mr. Robert Milne, ■who presided, introduced the speaker. . "Organisations like the League of Nations," said Mrs. Gordon, "although they are of tremendous importance, can do little unless the people of the world develop a sympathetic understanding." Criticism of "the failures of the League <of Nations wae futile, she said, because it had never been claimed that the league was a patent method of insuring immediate peace. The question of peace "was not so much a question of treaties and armaments as of the feeling of the nations concerned. It was women's duty, Mrs. Gordon emphasised, to develop the will to peace, a duty which ■was largely in -the hands of the younger ■women.
