London, Oct. 10. 4U.R) Take lt from Lady Nancy Astor, this "baby leave" business Is a lot of nonsense and British women don't want their soldier husbands home now just to start raising families. "I think it is just a press stunt. I've never had such a request from a constituent," she said in an exclusive and somewhat hec tic interview In the lobby of the house of commons. The sprightly, Virginia-born Lady Astor, who represents a Plymouth constituency, kept bouncing up from a bench to corral passing MP's to corrobo rate her opinion that British women are not particularly in terested in baby leaves. Only one of a half-dozen she stopped disagreed with her. The dissenter was Quintin Hogg, a conservative, who said he had received several requests from men and women to support the drive for bigger families. However, Lady Astor, twirl irfg her lorngnette furiously as she spoke, drew agreement from Sir John Anderson, chancellor of the exchequer, from a couple of labor members whose names she couldn't remember, and from Col. Edward Thomas Wickham, who only recently returned from service in India. "Having a baby In wartime Is a difficult business," Lady Astor said. "Most women pre fer to wait for peace. "Our birthrate is low, but lt Is nothing to worry about. It is quality, not quantity, that counts. The birthrate here al ways has been low, but look what these insignificant little isles have done for the world. "I had six children myself that's not many but modern women realize that two or three are better."
