IL has been the fashion 10 speak Of the
efficiency of autocracy and the weakness
Of democracy. Back of the whole move
ment of the central powers Germany,
Austria and Turkey-lies the creed of
one-man power.
The whole thing is fiction. All Of
monarchy's eff iency is on the surface.
II has no reserves of spiritual power. Its
/ first blow is hard. but it has no bottom
The longer it fights the weaker it be-
comes. On the contrary. the longer de-
mocracy struggles the stronger it grows
This is because autocracy is an arti-
fetal scheme, while democracy is a nat
ural force whose source is the people.
Germany, the most perfect Of artificial
machines, was able TO deliver first at
tack upon the world that was terrific,
but since then she has been steadily
weakening. The democracies of the
world were at first stunned but rapidly
began recuperating and are now stead
lily accumulating an irresistible strength
that in time will utterly crush the Prus-
sian military machine
A democracy, based upon the intelli-
gent cooperation of its citizens, is
capable of a greater and more lasting
unity than any monarchic system can at
tain. For, as Lloyd George said in
recent speech before the Royal National
Eisteddfod. unity Of action is not sup-
preston Of freedom, but its highest ex-
preston
What is gonig on in the United States
now is democracy concentrating it's
energies for defense. II is not a rever-
sion to absolutism il is the natural
legitimate exnress ion of demncracY,s
power to strike.
Every government" said Alexander
Hamilton ought to contain in itself the
means of its own preservation" And
Mr. Charles f. Hughes said in his adj
dress before the American Bar Associa-
ton: The trainers of the constitution
did not contriye an imposing spectacle
of impotency."
No one need be alarmed az the tremen-
dous powers now being concentrated in
to the hands of the President this is
precisely what the constitution provided
for in case Of war. II is what any mo-
bile democracy ought TO be able to do.
must be able 70 10, &c ii is to maintain
its existence.
Congress has power 10 raise armies
any way it sees fit; every citizen is
liable TO the draft
The President has power TO send these
armies anywhere ne chooses.
Not q single human life not a dollar
of money. not one piece of property is
exempt from the control Of the govern
ment of this great democracy
II is rs potent in war as any autocracy.
1t is not a fabby giant, but fully able
to maintain itself and protect It's rights.
