ROME, Aug. 23.-Italy will be the
first country in the world to solve
successfully the present humanity
wide problem Of efeminism." The
honor. too, will be great, for just as
the reorganization of the state was
the great problem which the entire
world left to the eighteenth century
to solve, SO the establishing of the
right political, social and Industrial
position of woman is the task that the
nineteenth century has inherited from
all of its predecessors.
This was the declaration today t.,
tile United Press correspondent Of
Signorina Blanca Pauluci, the highest,
recognized authority in Italy on the
question Of it's women. Italy, says
Signorina Paulucci, has already found
the only basis on which the problem
can ever be solved, she has already
set herself hard to work at the task,
side world of what the women of
italy are doing to solve those ques
tions which are making a worldwide
noise in other countries. they are
nearer their goal than the women Of
any other country
In brief, Signorina Paulucci says,
that the problem of feminism will
never be solved by the fight now being
made by women in other countries to
wrest from the men what they de-
clared to be their rights 1t will only
lie solved when both sexes realizing
The Importance of the question, set
themselves Jointly at the task. anc
work together tremendously for the
best solution of the question. This
she says is the secret which Italy has
discovered and this is why Italy. be-
fore am other country, will soon have
successfully solved the problem.
While on this side and the other
side Of the ocean said Signorina
Paulucci today, people are fighting
for and against women, while they
are bringing forth new doctrines and
new theories on the nature and char.
acter of the problem all of which have
the fatal error of being SO absolute
that they kill the very end they try
to attain, italy has given proof OF
more common sense.
"She has organized a league for
the securing and preserving Of the
rights of women that places for its
basis perfect concord and harmony
between the two sexes and that wei
comes as members, men and women
alike
1.-THE intelligent women who have
been the promoters Of this organiza
ton. which now represents the entire
ing voluntarily every personal ambi
ton, have descended to a basis o
practical reality, and have believed i
wisest to offer the higher positions il
the organization to men. Thus Lu!g
Luzzatti, former prime minister is nov
Its president; Professor Cesars Wv
ante famous scientist, is its secre
tary; and thus all of its most impor
tant departments such as the se,tioI
for the protection of minors, the sec
ton for securing the right to ente
the professions and the government
service, as well as the section for TIL
securing OF suffrage have at thei
head some senator, deputy or othe
distinguished man.
Perhaps 1t has been easier to d
this in Italy, easier to secure thi
basis of cooperation of the sexes, tina
In other countries for the simple res
son that this recognition of woman
rights has existed for centuries. Pc
haps in no other country of the worl
has women enjoyed for SO long tim
in her private life that dignity an
that recognition of her moral equalit
which the laws have denied her an
which has enabled her for centurie
past to dedicate herself freely to II
erature, the sciences and other pu
suits so largely regarded as the excll
sive field Of men
Naturally the great problem In tn
other countries for the women whe
once they begin to strive on rig1
basis, will be the securing of TIL
recognition of moral equality whic
we for SO long have enjoyed and whic
has thus made 1t easy to advant
towards final settlement Of the que
u tion of feminism.' This, however,
am convinced will be fairly easy whe
II the women themselves recognize be
n ter how to present the problem
