MRS. MINOR WARNS
Of FALSE DEMOCRACY
At D. A. R. CONGRESS
By The Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, d. c., Apr. II.
Warning that a false democracy
masouerading as industrial democ-
racy' and leading to bloc control OF
powerful minorities" was seeking TO
overthrow the American form OF gov
ernment was voiced today by Mrs.
George Maynard Minor, President
General of the Daughters Of the Am
erican Revolution, in formally open
ing the 31st annual congress OF that
society.
Mrs. Minor appealed to members OF
the organization, which she said, was
striving ito preserve the pure fire OF
patriotism" to prevent spread of this
idea, saying that it emulated from the
doctrine "of the Socialist and Com
munis;."
A second danger scarcely less fatal
unless checked, she s-id, lay in the
Stacker vote"
Mrs. Minor declared that the cor
ruptness of politics could be traced
to the failure of 37,763,966 eligible
voters out of 54,421,S32. to avail
themselves of this sacred duty OF
citizenship"
as it any wonder?" she asked, that
we face the disheartening spectacle
of political towards cringing under
the whip of powerful groups. This
political fear is the curse of our coun-
try"
