APPEAL FOR CHIVALRY
WOMEN IN RUSSIA. SOVIET’S IMPOSSIBLE ATTITUDE. London, May 24. The Times’ Riga correspondent says that Boltz, a member of the presidium of the Central Control Commission and unofficially titled the Soviet Censor of Morale, is making a remarkable appeal to the Soviet Union generally for a “return to a knightlier attitude towards women.” He declared that although the Soviet laws about the equality of women and children were worse even than before the revolution, hundreds and thousands of Soviet women were clamouring in the Courts for maintenance allowance. “It is a crying shame,” said Soltz, “that not merely is professional hooliganism oppressing women, but even some of the most prominent Soviet leaders adopt a most impossible attitude toward their womenfolk.”—Times Cables.
