WOMEN’S PLACE
MUSSOLINI’S VIEW. SHOULD NOT BE IN FACTORIES. HOME OR THE FIELDS. (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) Paris, June 12. Mussolini’s views of woman’s place in society is revealed in an interview with a French woman journalist published in the Petit Journal. He declares that woman’s true place is the home but owing to present economic conditions many are forced to work outside. “I do not like to see women in factories and workshops,” declared the Duce, “and if they cannot remain at home, work in the fields is most suitable. I have closely studied these problems and find that factory work for women brings an irregularity in home life and a marked reduction in the birth rate. Women are now exempt from the celibacy tax in Italy because I believe they are not spinsters from choice.”
