ITALIAN SORRY !

CALL To GENOA
Foreign Minister Schanzer De-
clares World War Altered
Relations With Europe.
BY International News Service.

ROME, March Ill sincerely
regret the decision of the United
States not to enter the Genoa con.
ference" Senator Carlos Schanzer,
Italian foreign minister. and head
Of his governments delegation to the
Washington arms parley, declared
today In an exclusive interview given
to the International News Service.
cit Ia true that the fathers Of the
American Constitution preached non.
intervention In European affairs, but
the situation was altered by the war
when the United States sent troops
overseas TO fight beside the allied
soldiers In the cause Of justice and
freedom.
Undoubtedly, because Of its
power and wealth, the United States
could remain for long outside Eu'
ropean affairs. but the whole world
now is a single economic system.
The United States has enormous eco
nomic interests In the reconstruction
OF Europe and would suffer by
allowing Europe to become an eco.
nomic wreck" he explained.
THE Americans are deeply IDEAL.
istic. They cannot but feel the moral
duty to cooperate for the relief OF
Europe's people. 1t In a great pity
that the American Government, led
by such men as President Harding
and Secretary of State Hughes,
whom greatly admire. didn't decide
to overcome the difficulties that
were opposing a close collaboration
with Europe"

Diplomatic pressure u the means
the United States VIII use to combat
any anti-American policies the forth
coming allied conference on Near
Eastern affairs may adopt. It was

This means that the United States
win not participate In the confer

appeals Of American business men
in the Near East. who assert they
are being Disseminated against by
British. French and Italians with the
full connivance Of their respective
foreign offices.
Though the date of the conference
has been set for March %. this Gov
ernment has as yet received no IN
vitation to participate.
The basic reason for non-partictpa-
ton IL the unwillingness Of the Ad.
ministration to take part In foreign
discussions Of q political nature.
Nevertheless. II 10 freely admitted
many matters of interest to the
United States are likely to be dis
cussed when the premiers get to-

to meet the demand Of the court.
Horvatin contested the suit
and charged that his wife was
infatuated with another man.
A private detective testified
that he watched the woman for
20 nights, and that on each
night she met some man in
Huron Park who embraced
and kissed her."

this action was suing on a cross

though nearly everything in up
the ladder" at the Playhouse, In
familiar to the inveterate theater-
goer. and nothing happens that
hasn't happened before. Owen
Davis has merely erred In a sure
fire" way. His latest play Is
amusing; the types are droll and
convincing; there Is a large
amount of that theatrical sim
plicity that fools 80 many. and
the play Is sort of Ito the

conceive that slogan.
1t is a play of youth. and the
juvenile comedy folks are un.
usually we'll done. Comedy
juvenile couples spooning and
frivoling are generally irrevoc-
able nuisances. but in up the
Ladder" they are the saving grace
of the play.
Mr.. Davis has omitted nothing
from his storeroom Of familiari-
ties. He has ransacked all the dur
able old stage tricks and clean
ed and pressed them until they
look like new. Who. for instance,
would hope for mirth In Jag"

will say. Well Mr.. Davis Lnan-
aged to get chunks of merriment
from this self-same scene. Really,
II was as funny an episode as one
could wish to see. and un-
hesitatingly assert that II handed
me one Of my best seasons
laughs. It made me suspicious
even of myself. Why was ] 30
amused?
As for the plot-well, II did its
duty nobly. Only at the very
close Of the piece, when Mr.. Davis
simply riddled the hero And
heroine with happiness ever after.
and registered a truly prepos-
ferrous feat on the part of the
hero to foil the miscreants. did we
perceive the strings that made
the puppets dance. And. after
all. who cares?
May Brandon may be con.
graduated upon singularly

sincerity into the hokumized role

LONDON, March 1.-THE great

Lady Rhondda, who II aclrnowi-

the right of peeresses to sit In the
House of Lords.
'Tt may be that IN days before
the vote for women was secured the

Newspaper headlines than now" she
continued. but that probably was
accounted for by the fact that In
those days women had TO resort to
militancy. which was apt to receive
headlines.
Military Need Past.
The need for militancy II past"
she added. Women now are en-
franchised. They are working steadi-
ly toward the ends they have in
view. and they are succeeding.
IT believe that women VIII and
must take an increasing interest In
politics because there are always
many questions under discussion that
affects them as women.
II do not think that there ever
VIII be an exclusively women's party,
because women, on ordinary political
questions, are likely to think along
much the same lines as men.
"The part Of women In public life
is bound TO grow" she continued.
by the next general election think
women candidates for office. 1t may
be that within a few years we shall
see a strong feminine representation
in Parliament.
when women take an equal part
in public affairs with men, II Is not
likely that there will be differences
of opinion along sex lines 1t will re-
suit in enlarging the pool of political
opinion.
"women,s greatest profession win
always be motherhood. but they must
have equal rights and opportunity
with men In other professions. The
women's charter we now are concen-
trating on has six points.
i"The first three relate to widows
pensions, better treatment of unmar-
ried mothers and better protection
TOR young girls. The others refer to
equal guardianship Of children, equal
pay for men and women teachers
and equal treatment Of men and
women teachers and equal treatment
OF men annd women Government ser
wants.
''On other political questions. she
explained, women are left to ex-
recise their individual standpoint.
Only on one point will women ever
be biased permanently, and that's In
the direction OF children. On this
question women will ever think and
