MRS. BELMONT TO
PUSH FIFTY FIFTY
RIGHTS MEASURE
Returns I'm May From
Visit to Daughter.
I'm Paris.

THE angel of the National
Woman's Party, Mrs. Oliver
II. p. Belmont. who is now in
France visiting her daughter,
Nine. Jacques Balkan, the former
Duchess of Marlborough, is ex-
pected home in May, and it is
whispered that shortly after her
return she will stump the coun-
try in the interest of the equal
rights bill which the Woman's
Party is sponsoring.
The Woman's Party proposes to
remove by an amendment to the
Constitution all legal discrimina-
ton against women on the score
OF their sex and hopes to push
it through in much the same
fashion as the suffrage amend
ment was passed. There is OPP
position, however, not only from
professed anti-feminists, but from
large group of women who
contend that the removal of dis
ordinations against women will
presuppose the removal Of dis
ordinations in her favor and
viii automatically nullify all that
has been accomplished in the way
of special welfare legislation for
women.
There is great wealth lined up
in both camps Mrs. Belmont and
her cohorts Of the Women's
Party on one side and on the
other such women as Mrs. Bor-
den Hartman, Mrs. Raymond
Robins, etc.-so there is likely to
be battle Of the Titans. with

bone of contention. And one
wonders what the "P. w. G."
thinks about it all--if she has
time when her work is done to
think at all.

preface that is both presenta-
ton and critical analysis, calls
this book "a most notable work,
of universal appeal and throbbing
interest" Such an appraisal
needs must carry weight. for, as
a. political foe of his expressed it,
in a hyperbole inspired at the
same time by admiration and
spite, ''in all his life-political.
commercial and private--this man
Romanones has made but one
error of judgment: when, as a
youth, he jumped from a high
window to elude his fathers
wrath at one of his wild oats and
as q result thereof became per-
manently lame"
There is no INTERPRETATION be-
tween most of the articles other
than that of location. but they
may be roughly divided into three
groups: Impressions of Spain,
Spanish Problems, and Relations
between Spain, the United States
and the Ibero-American Repub-
lies.
TURIOUSLY enough, when deal
ing with a problem OF his
own island-the political status
OF Porto Rico---the author seems
to lose his broadness Of percep-
ton and to grasp only one angle
Of the problem. / think that the
explanation for this is to be
found in some remarks by Count
de Romanones in his preface:
'oThere is someone more Yankee
than the son Of Yankee parents,
bred in the American Union; it
is the foreign-born, who, having
made close and unprecedented
study OF North America, has
adopted that as his country. inn
PEELED by conviction and such is
the case with this author"
Mr.. Hernandez sera sees State
hood in the American Union as
the only final status possible for
Porto Rico. He appears to for
get that there are in the islands.
crowded in less than 1000 square
miles. over 100000 inhabitants,
the immense majority Of pure
Spanish stock, with a civilization
centuries old and deeply rooted
traits and tendencies alien to
Anglo-Saxon traditions; he sees
only the upper crust to which
he belongs and concludes that
the blending OF the two American
civilizations found in the limited
stratum is general in Porto Rico.
