Statement on Politicians and Peace, February 12, 1928

Hard-headed politicians, not "long haired reformers, idealists with their heads in the clouds and church federations," have made the most valuable contributions to the cause of peace, Jane Addams, founder of Hull House, told the Chicago Sunday Evening Club last night.

"Politicians, statesmen like Elihu Root, and governmental bodies, were responsible for The Hague, the world court and such settlements of disputes as have been made from the League of Nations," she explained.
