"A CRYING SHAME"
SOVIET AND WOMEN PLEA FOR NOBLER1 TREATMENT "Times" Cables. ! (Received 25th May, noon.) LONDON, 24th May. The Eiga correspondent of "The Times" says that M. Soltz, member of the Presidium Central Control Commission, unofficially titled "the Soviet Censor of Morals," made a remarkable, appeal at Moscow to the Soviet Union generally for a "return to a more' knightly attitude towards, women." He declared that although there were Soviet laws about equality, the position of women and children was worse even than before the revolution. Hundreds of thousands of Soviet women were clamouring in the Soviet Courts for maintenance allowances. "It is a crying shame," said M. Soltz, "that not merely professional hooliganism is oppressing women, but even some of the most prominent Soviet leaders adopt a most impossible attitude towards their women folk."
