Dear Executive Member,
Attached is a letter which we are sending out to the Chairman and Secretaries of all the National Sections and which we wish to have in your hands for your information.
You will see in the attached letter that we have asked for suggestions for speakers for the Congress. As soon as we have those suggestions, the [subcommittee] of the Executive will decide which speakers are to be invited.
I also wish to call your attention to the discussion which is going on in "Pax" concerning the "Object" of our League. Will you please be good enough to read my article entitled "Philosophers and Martyrs" in the March "Pax" and then will you please read the one by Dr. Augspurg on the same subject in the April "Pax." I have asked both Madame Duchêne and Miss Marshall to contribute to this discussion and I have further written to Jane Addams asking her to express her opinion in the June issue. I should be very glad also of further comments from members of the Executive Committee.
Please let me know of any urgent matters which you think of that need to be taken care of before the Congress. I am planning to leave this office on the 18th of June, spending the 19th in London, attending the Arbitration Pilgrimage and on the 22nd proceeding to Ireland to take up my work with Miss Bennett in preparation for the Congress.
Miss Addams will arrive in France the end of June to attend the International Settlement Conference and will start for Dublin on July 5th. She is planning after the Congress to return [illegible] to Geneva and attend the Summer School at Gland lecturing there during the last three weeks.
