lions tail to realize or comprehend
tho true spirit Of the people Of the
United States. Their astonishing
progress and Industry and their re-
markable capacity In affairs may have
led to a false conception-possibly they
have some misconception with regard
to US.
IT hold that the self-governing ma
tions of the British empire are as truly
and thoroughly democratic in their
purposes. ideals and aspirations as any
nation in the world. 1t has been
wittily said that the United States
might be regarded as a monarchy I'M
der an elective king. and the British
empire as republic under an hered-
itary president, and 1t is perfectly true
that the President has much greater
executive power than the king. In all
essentials the ideals of government are
the same in both countries and the
spirit Of the two nations is the same.
