The decision of committees of tlie Senate and Chamber of ltepu tieH, rejecting womans suffiuge as u step too inopportune to be taken at tliis time, was a particularly hit ter one for the suffragists because it came hut a short time after their hopes had been raised, as they had been never before, by tin- dec laration of Premier Mussolini be fore a congress hen- of women from all parts of the globe that Italy intended to grant the vote to it women. Government leaders explain their change of front as a necessary re suit of the present political situa tion, hut the women refuse to be lieve this, especially since one gov ernment spokesman was quoted as saying; "Italy lias suffered too much in the past from women rul ers; it is not easy to forget the Uorgias.” The National Association of Ital ian Women has issued a manifesto declaring that 48 nations have grunted the vote to women and that ltalyq runs the risk of being the last to take the step, thereby creating false ideas abroad about social and political conditions south of the Alps. Senators and deputies arc being beseiged by women visit ors and their mail boxes flooded with letters. The newspapers are receiving scores of letters, tnuny of them enumerating important Kal ian women to answer the assertion that Italy runs the risk of being misdeeds of its women.
