Editor The New York AieV By JOSEPHINE SCHUYLER AljlP 'SONS Just the other day, an Italian Canadian whose wife is competing in the Stork Marathon of our; sister RepH lie, made this significant statement, "As long as we're, havjnj; boya wei go right alonK having children. Benito is the fourth boy ihja row. toon as we have a girl we'll sign off." As might guess, little Benito is named for Mussolini; the boy. be5 ro of Italy.

His father, who does not want any more girls, is naturally a treat admirer of the man who had "put the Italian woman, in her place." In the animal world, and in jail non oatriarchial societies, the fe male is highly prized. In fact, of so little value is the male among some insects that aa soon as propogation occurs the male is eliminated. Among the bees, he is driven out to starve and in the cases of scorpion, spider and praying mantis, he is devoured by hit lady love. 1 quote, these delectable facts to show that nature is not partial to male as was thought for many centuries when the Queen" bee and Queen" ant were constantly referred to in literature as king bee and king ant Even today among many warlike tribes io Africa, India, and in remote sections of China, girl infanta are drowned or left, to die In so caludVuviliaed Europe, the dictator countries are equally contemptuous of girls. They do not yet drown them, but perhaps.

death is preferable to lifelong interior treatment by parents and husband. A society on the "make'' if always harder on women, at are Germany and Italy today. Every civilization, once it is established liberates women. When the Fascist states declares their masculine values "eter nal just put it down to blufl awl, ignorance. Strict malearchy and long evitv do not to together.

Ironically enough, should Fascism last, it will be at the cost of repudiation of all its principals of authority. Unly the tribe engaged in constant warfare and With little or no property to' inherit, can maintain for kwg the mas culine ideal of force. Because women live longer than men, in those states where there is anything to inherit, women soon come into control of vast amounts of property. By the aecood renturT B.

prudery and intolerance there. Sparta bowed to the rule of more civilited state. Men Apparently Not Naturally Creators 1 Nothing of lasting value ever survives a truly masculine state. Sparta, after which Germany and Italy are now fashioning themselves, left posterity no works of art, no literature, no scientific discovery, no new de lights of living, no written laws, but onjy a sterile legend.
