Emergency Peace Federation meets with Wilson
Description
Addams calls on peace activists to telegram President Wilson to express their support for a national referendum on the war. Addams and others - the Committee of Five - are sent by the Emergency Peace Federation to meet with Wilson at the White House to discuss alternatives to war. Addams comes away from the meeting "in deep rejection," sensing that Wilson had already committed the country to war (Davis, p. 243).
