The Women’s Peace Army held a fine rally at the

Yarra Bank the Sunday following the referendum ...

The following resolution was carried unanimously:

“That this mass meeting expresses deep gratitude

for the result of the Conscription Referendum.

Believing that a great victory means a great

responsibility, the Australian Women’s Peace

Army calls upon Australian citizens to demand

that negotiations for a Constructive Peace that

will sow no seeds of bitterness and revenge be

begun immediately.”
