TREATMENT OF WOMEN

UNDER SOVIET LAW. OFFICIAL PROTESTS. United Prese Assn.— By Electric Telegraph Copyright. (Received 12.30 p.m.) LONDON,- May 24. The Times’ Riga correspondent says that Soltz-, a member of the Central Control Commission, who is unofficially titled the “Soviet Censor of Morals,’’ makes a remarkable appeal to the Soviet Union generally for “a return to a knightlier attitude towards women.” He declared that although the Soviet had laws About the equality of women, the children were worse off even than before the revolution. Hundreds op thousands of Sjoviet women were clamouring in Bie courts for maintenance allowances.

“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 towards their womenfolk.—Times Cables.
