BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

In short, hope our American
males will not jump to rosy con-
illusions as they chuckle over this
item in the papers. Regarded dis
passionately, it doesn't seem to
allow the Italian man any too
much freedom, either.
We skip the fallacy that only
dependent women rear strong
sonS-how Napoleon Bonapartes
mother would have jeered the idea
but we can not dismiss the
equally mistaken conviction that,
if a dictator has the power to
select the kind of work women
must do, he will also, if he likes,
assume the power to tell men the
sort of jobs they can have.
And an even more serious flaw
in his reasoning lies in the as
sumption that women always
serve their state best when they
stay home. If such is the case II
Duce is going to be in the deuce
of fix should the Italian women
see fit to hold him to his rule.
For mark this well-Should an
other war come to Italy, the i'm
memorial dictatorial cry surely
will be heard:
Women must fill the breach in
industry left vacant by our gall
liant soldiers. God and country
call" They'll be ordered out as
peremptorily as they are ordered
in.
So it occurs to me that the
heads of men should droop in
humiliation. When they can't
compete with us, they suppress us
by legislation. When they need
our aid, they give us orders from
God. Yet a sex too feeble for in
dependence during times of peace
is, by all sound sense, too feeble
to do much in munitions fac
tories, the fields or the trenches
in times of war.

The resulting magnificence, built on the

The Soviets' tyranny and ruthlessness toward
individual freedom catch my attention on

At the same time I sincerely believe that
their superhuman accomplishment toward
making a new world, according to plan Wncn
they believe offers the greatest good to the most

Peter the Great. who built it on marsh islands
at the head of the Gulf of Finland, had no
less vgor and imagination than the workers
councilmen of today. With wave of his hand
he swept aside all obstacles to create public
squares Of enormous area and surround them
with public buildings that are the largest and
most lavish in Europe. The richest class OF
people in the world during the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries, the Russian nobility,
focked to st. Petersburg. Each noble tried
to out-do his neighbor in the construction OF
palaces and in his show of splendor. In this

sicians in the orchestra wore wool shirts and

1atively good Here is one Czarist art the prole-
tarians have not let die. Magnificent costumes
and color and light and skill flashed from the
stage for four hours. The audience ate apples
all during the performance. Otherwise they
were well behaved.
The violent Transformation Of Leningrad
from imperial to proletarian is evident on every
side. The ducal palaces, run down and woe
fully begone, are now workers apartments. The
Yusupov Palace. where Prince Felix murdered
Rasputin, is "house Of culture and rest" for
teachers The great suburban estates have been
turned into pleasure grounds where the workers
go to escape the desperately crowded quarters
in which they live.
THE old Nevsky Prospect, now called the
Prospect of october IS, once one of the
smartest and richest streets in the world, Is now
one of the dingiest. True three times many
people parade it as before, but they are dressed
in sacks instead of furs and have copecks to spend
instead of gold rubles. The shops that once
offered only the best and the most beautiful
are now poverty stricken, half empty and
displaying only the cheapest and most un-
attractive goods. No individual shop keeping
is allowed. Every place is state owned and state
supplied. Taste and quality are incredibly
bad. There are book stores, but only revolu-
tionary histories and treatises can be bought.
There are cinema houses-but only political,
Soviet -glorifying films can be shown
It seems to me that the Soviets discourage
their people from having anything more than
the barest necessities. Clothes, flowers, motor
cars, simple romantic entertainment are con-
sidered dangerously counter revolutionary in the
hands Of private individuals. There is very little
money among the workers to buy these things
with, and any accumulation Of money Is a
capital crime. And If the Russians did have
the money there is almost nothing on which 10
spend it. In one fur shop bought a sheepskin
Cossack hat. It cost 100 Soviet rubles. The
average monthly pay for a worker is $50 rubles.
