"The Next War:" A digest prepared for the LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS by Mr. Irwin of his book, "THE NEXT WAR"

A digest prepared for the League of Women Voters by Will Irwin, who authored "The Next War." This next war refers to "young women [being] drafted like the young men for employment in the clerical work of war and in munition making." Therefore, Irwin claims, "the great task before the humanity of the twentieth century is to eliminate war."
