20. WOMEN'S PEACE ARMY RESOLUTIONS

The newly formed Women’s Peace Army

met immediately.

Two resolutions carried at this meeting were:

“That this association, believing that war is a

crime against civilisation and humanity, and that

it places the interests of property before those of

human beings, that it brings personal degradation

to vast masses of soldiers and women, and

greater suffering and horrors to non-combatants

than to combatants, resolves to invite members

and sympathisers to unite in an Australian

Women’s Peace Army, which shall pledge itself to

fight for the preservation of human life and peace

between all nations now and always.”

“That the Women’s Peace Army, believing in the

interdependence of nations, resolves to

co-operate with the peace organisations of all

countries and to adopt as the basis of a

constructive peace the following resolutions

passed at the International Congress of Women

held at the Hague in April, with the addition for

Australia of the WPA plank,

'The Abolition of Compulsory Military Training and Militarism.'"
