Committee of Propaganda

Miss Julia Grace Wales
of the University of Wisconsin (Wis., U.S.A.)
Mademoiselle,
We have read with the greatest interest the memorandum that you presented at the “International Congress of Women” at The Hague last April 1st.
The idea you advocate -- of continuous mediation on the part of neutral countries united in a League, such as we advocate -- fits perfectly within the aims of our propaganda, and we would be very happy to work with you and your friends for its realization.
While advocating the establishment of a League of Neutral Countries, or non-belligerents, we have set ourselves the objectives indicated in our appeals. Among them is that for mediation at the opportune moment. Now, your proposal, which would give this mediation a special characteristic, deserves every consideration; and while you should help us morally and materially to persuade a neutral state to take the initiative in forming a League of all neutral countries, we will be quite ready to assist you in having accepted as one of the postulates of the League, that of the creation of a Committee for continuous mediation.
Awaiting your kind reply to know if you accept our proposal for reciprocal cooperation, we beg you to accept, Mademoiselle, the expression of our highest consideration.
