RUSSIAN WOMEN.
REMARKABLE APPEAL. FOR BETTER TREATMENT. SOME SCATHING CRITICISM, .(By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright.) (Times Cable.) (Received May 25, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, May 24. The Times Riga’s correspondent says that M. Soltz, a member of the Presidium Central Control Commission, who is unofficially titled the “Soviet Censor of Morale,” makes a remarkable appeal to the Soviet Union generally for a “return to a knightlier attitude towards women.” He declares that despite the Soviet laws about equality, the condition of women and children is worse even than before the revolution. Hundreds' and thousands of Soviet women are clamouring in the Courts for maintenance allowances. “It is a crying shame,” says M. Soltz, “that not merely is professional hooliganism oppressing women, hut even some of the most prominent Soviet leaders adopt a most impossible attitude towards their women folk.”.
