"Return To Knightlier Attitude" Urged.
HIGH OFFICIAL'S ADVOCACY.
("Times" Cables.)
(Received 12 noon.) LONDON, May 24.
The "Times" Riga correspondent states that M. Soltz, a member of the Presidium of the dentral Control Commission, unofficially titled the Soviet Censor of Morale, made a remarkable appeal at Moscow to the Soviet Union generally for "a return to a knightlier attitude towards women."
He declared that although the Soviet laws about equality of men and women were more liberal than in any other country, the position of women and children waa worse even than before the revolution. Hundreds of thousands of Soviet women were clamouring at the Soviet Court 3 for maintenance allowances. "It is a crying shame,said M. Soltz. "Not merely is professional hooliganism oppressing women, but even some of the most prominent Soviet leaders show a most impossible attitude to their women folk."
