WOMEN IN RUSSIA. TRAGIC VICTIMS. The Soviet woman, says an American writer, who recently returned from a year in Russia, is the victim of the “greatest trick in history. Miss Paula Leclerc gave her views on a year's travels, most of it without guides. She said she left dummy luggage in hotel rooms where site registered and went out alone to see conditions for herself. “The whole system of civilisation has crashed about the heads of Russia's women.” she said. “ i ney are the victims of the greatest trick in history, the tragic victims of militarism, the most maligned and mis-prized lot. biologically and spiritually, of any women oh earth. They exist wretchedly under a system of cajolet'v and coercion, bereft of all feminine consideration and worked like serfs by the Government. “The State nurseries and laundries aiul kitchens arc practically nonfunctioning. which means that every woman must care for her home and children as well as doing her industrial jobs. “The man of the faintly can walkout of his obligations to his wife by announcing that she lias been divorced. He can do this successively as many times as lie wants to. with the promise that one-thirW of is income goes to any children he leaves with the mother. But when a man has done it eight times, you can flgure how much is left for the latest wife’s child.” Miss Leclerc said she saw women working in mines, hauling agricultural implements, puddling barefootin mills. She seldom saw any of them smile.
