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.”
