of the political movement in India,

No Cheers Await Her.

BUCHAREST, Sept. 12-"Does a
round of eager applause await Nine.
Mustapha Kemal, who has just been
elected to the Turkish parliament,
when she takes her seat in that
body?" is a question asked recently
by N. Batsaria, Roumanian diplo
mat. who was formerly a member Of
the Ottoman senate.
what predict is that she will be
greeted with grittings of teeth and
with dark looks of resentment, ,,he
went on, replying to his own ques-
ton. "The young woman who has
been chosen by a Turkish electorate
to defend its interests will have a
hard road to travel In the national
assembly at Angora there are many
hodjas-teachers and interpreters OF
Islamic law-who will regard the ad-
vent of woman into the assembly as
a blow at the sacred institutions OF
their religion.
"They will curse Mutapha Kemal
under their breath for imposing the
society of woman upon them as an
equal. For Nine. Kemal they will
adopt thousand and one ways OF in
dicating to her personally their In
tense disapproyal of her course.
Lady Astors first appearance on
the floor of the House of Commons
was an event pleasant in its associa.
tions, because the west has a pro.
found regard for women as a thing OF
both beauty and usefulness. But the
young Turkish woman will receive
from her colleagues no such tribute
OF appreciation. The Turk never as
sociates with female on any basis
approaching equality"
