Women and War
More than one-third of the nation's women, 36%, would rather see their sons go to jail than to war; among women under 30, this is the preference of 42%. While 88% feel that no overseas war is justified, 64% feel that war is justifiable on occasion, but by a quirk of feminine logic 87% regard invasion of the U. S. or its possessions as such an occasion. These opinions appeared this week in another nationwide survey of women conducted by the news-nosy Ladies' Home Journal. Other opinions:
Seventy percent think the U. S. should never have entered the World War, 64% believe that Wall Street bankers were chiefly responsible for getting the nation in, 91% do not think it made the world safe for democracy; 84% oppose fighting for our commercial interests abroad; 87% oppose lending money, sending munitions or supplies to nations at war; 56% do not think we will be involved in war soon, but if we are, 81% favor limiting profits, 59% favor limiting wages.
