Sir:
The [Women's] International League is looking forward with interest and satisfaction to the coming Naval Conference which you have called. Throughout the country there is a very sincere hope that a definite step toward the goal of universal disarmament may be made at this coming conference.
We recognize the need for the technical experts such as the naval officers attached to the delegation and we are happy that Mr. Hugh Gibson will represent our country in a diplomatic or political capacity. May [we] respectfully request that you may use your war [illegible] to add to the American delegation a man of the capacity of the Honorable Theodore Burton to serve as an "expert" on universal disarmament? Though the need for naval technicians is obvious, [we] believe that a Peace technician whose point of view will [transcend] the mass of technical detail is necessary if there are to be really significant results from this conference. We respectfully urge you to consider such an appointment.
Respectfully yours,
