ADALIN WRIGHT MACAULEY Honorary President, FIDAC Auxiliary
What Is FIDAC?

FIDAC stands for 
Federation Interalliee des Anciens Combattants
—the Interallied Veterans' Association.  For instance, in the United States, every member of the American Legion and Legion Auxiliary is a member of FIDAC.  The 8,000,000 men and 500,000 women of this organization form the most powerful peace group in the world.  As president of FIDAC Auxiliary, Adalin Wright Macauley spent a year in Europe with headquarters at Paris.




Mrs. Macauley gained immediate national recognition through her efforts in getting Legion Posts and Auxiliary units to sell, on Memorial Day, the poppy made by ex-service men and their families in hospitals and homes.  Of course, disabled veterans prefer wages to gifts.  But it required a Legion Auxiliary President with the idealism, vision and energy of a Mrs. Macauley to do this.




Her next step forward was when she led 7,000 Auxiliary women to France in 1927, when the Legion made its Peace Pilgrimage.  With General Pershing and Commander Savage, Mrs. Macauley was officially welcomed by France.  Mrs. Macauley and Commander Savage were also officially received by Great Britain, Belgium, Switzerland and Italy.




At official banquets Mrs. Macauley usually spoke for the American women.  She gave a toast to the women of Great Britain at the banquet given in honor of the American Legion in London, at which the Prince of Wales presided as toastmaster.




Because Mrs. Macauley was so well and favorably known in the allied nations and because of her ability as a speaker she was elected president of the Auxiliary to FIDAC at Bucharest, Roumania, September, 1928, the first American woman to be honored with this high office.




Mrs. Macauley is the wife of Judge J. W. Macauley, of Menomonie, Wisconsin, a veteran of two wars.  She is a graduate of Rockford College.




Just a Few of the Many Comments About Mrs. Macauley:



Mrs. Maculey, American National President of the Auxiliary of all nations who fought in the war, then gave an eloquent address.  Viscount FitzAlan, in returning thanks, paid high tribute to Mrs. Macauley, for her inspiring speech.  He said they were very grateful, very delighted and very fascinated with it.—


The Windsor (England) Express.




Mrs. Macauley is most remarkable.—


Good Housekeeping.




Mrs. Macauley, with her gracious bearing, her well-selected clothes and her good looks appears to be a woman of the leisurely world, until she turns to look or speak.  Then the onlooker suddenly realizes that here is an earnest, fiery spirit of one destined to do great things.—


American Legion Monthly.




Mrs. Macauley has been dowered with the quality called 
personality.
  A good speaker.—


The Milwaukee Journal.




A universal language as the most important step toward peace was advocated by Adalin Wright Macauley.  
How can nations be assured that they are speaking the same language of the heart, if they do not speak to each other in the same language of the tongue?
  she said.—


The Chicago Daily News.
