Women will enjoy the right to elect and be elected equally with men. Our elections will be really equal.

He who wished to lead a movement must conduct a fight on two fronts--against those who lag behind and those who rush ahead.

They have at their disposal such instruments as, for instance, the League of Nations. This is to the advantage of the friends of peace.
