sional districts can WELD balance
Of power. Il is not surprising that
there should be some playing OF pol
itics. II seems to be q disease in
herent In democracy. But the vote
of nearly four to one for conscrip-
tion as against a volunteer plan of
raising an army, pushes aside such
political considerations most effect
ually.
The vote did not indicate the in
dividual thought OF the members
but their determination to show a
nation. united and determined.
The other significant fact in this
vote IL It's refutation Of the oft re-
peated charge that a democracy can
not be enlcient. Many times since
the war began. writer's and serious
students Of international Affairs have
asserted that autocracies are in
herently more eficient than democ-
racies and that this war would dem
onstrate the fact. Perhaps. in an
abstract sense. there may be reason
to hold to such a belief; but this ma
ton has most glorious opportun-
ity to show that It need not always
be true.
One should bear in mind that II
ID action and results that speak, not
debates and assertions. BY an over
whelming vote congress has followed
the presidents lead in settling an i'm
portant problem. Yet famous
member Of the senate seriously pro-
posed that the question Of raising
an army be submitted to the people
by referendum vote. And that too
when the country is actually at war.
One might as sensibly suggest, while
this city was in flames in dozen
places, that we call for vote Of the
people as to whether an increased
expense in fighting the fire should be
Incurred.
We are making history fast; too
fast to allow us to grasp the full
Significance Of passing events. But
we opine that in the days to come.

tion squarely behind the president In
this decision. will be considered one
Of profound importance.
