The present intention of the Association is to go
into recess (not to vegetate, but to possess our
souls); into what we shall then emerge, it doth not
yet appear. But we MUST not, DARE not, be idle.

We have to notify subscribers and readers
generally of this paper that with this issue this
publication ceases. The reason for this is wrapped
up in those considerations ... that bring about the
dissolving of the WPA ...
To the immortal credit of the WPA and its
President, we were one of the shining minority
who remained true to the principles of Peace,
espoused so loyally by the “Voter,” when so many
others, alas, bowed to expediency.
The “Voter” never turned its back, but marched
breast forward, then as ever. It cared neither for
the cautions of the timid or for the blame of
enemies. It walked right through the censor, or,
when he worsted it in an encounter, was doubly
eloquent in its blank spaces for the cause of
brotherly love ...
And now the “Voter” does not die, nor does perish
the work that it has done, mostly by the pen of its
editor, Miss Goldstein. Its voice has gone into
many places of the earth, and its influence has
been potent. It has been a trailblazer.

The WPA and the Women’s Peace Army
will be remembered in Australian History
as the one band of workers
who never wavered for one instant
in the Australian fight for internationalism,
which the WPA began on August 7, 1914.
