Milan, July Not the least eager for the resignation of MT. Giolittt as Premier are the women who are working for suffrage in Italy.
 MT. Giolitti has been the most phIegmat:c and mpregnable enemy of woman suffrage in all Italy" said Professor Margherita Ancona, chair man of the Milan Suffrage organiza- tion, in an interview with the Inter national news service.
 The situation for suffrage, accord ing to her, is very bad, but the inn minent end of Giofitt's administers ton will do much to raise the hopes of Italian women. Twice bill has been passed by the Chamber of De- called before the question was taken both times a new election has been ' before the Senate, and so has had to be introduced again into the Cham ber~.
 sfPoliticians in Italy, she said, "ane like politicians in all the other coHntries on the subject of woman's s vote. The Popclare declare that woRnan suffrage will add votes to the Socialist party. The Socialists de- claFe it will bring votes to the Popo- claEe, and the Constitutionalists are afraid of both. In addition, there arei those conservatives who want to limit the vote flor men and so would neVer dream of giving votes to wom- en. However, if the Government in troduces a bill which we hope it will whenever there is a change of Pre- mi9r, the Socialists and Popoclare w:lE both have to vote for it, and it will Nagain pass and go to the Senate if i4he next premier does not go to the |dountry again before that"

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IS STUMPED { IN ITALY BECAUSE OF POWER OF l
 POLITICIANS, LEADER ASSERTS
Politicians Behave in England and America, Where They Are Not Feared Italy Should Be Likewise, De- fender of Women's Rights Declares

for the day when women will have the vote. Signora Besso, of Rome, has organized a woman's party, the Unione Politica NaZionale, which, she declares. will work for the interests of women and will enter the elections when women have the vote, with its own electoral lists
 Dissension Within Ranks.
 Already the women of Italy are di- viding on this question of whether or not there should be a woman's party.
 Within the ranks of those who are fighting for suffrag ger there has come a further split with the recent cleo tion-a split that grew out of the fact that many women took part in election. In Milan, as well as else where, the more progressive leaders of suffrage declared that women should urge the election of only those men who had pledged their votes to suffrage-a program very like that the United States This policy was defeated by women who were eager to support one party or another. how ever.
 Professor Ancona, who was parti- cularly opposed to women taking part in the election except on the suf- frage issue, says:
 '@The reason we don't get suffrage in Italy is because the politicians are not afraid of us as the American poH- ticians were of the women there. II would be impossible to adopt a femi- mist militant movement in Italy, but | it would be an excellent thing if we could Probably if MT.
