PROFESSOR DENIES
 . DEMOCRACY FAILS
Says It Has Never Been
 Tried in South

Williamstown, Mass, Aug. 6.-tP The belief that democracy has failed in Russia, Italy, Jugo- Slavia and Turkey is fantastic" Professor Cecil Delisle Burns, of the Univer- sity of Glasgow, said today in an address before the western civiliza- tion conference of the institute of politics.
 They never had any democracy" Professor Burns declared Even within the Jurisdiction covered by western democracy there are sections in control of dictatorships where democracy has never been tried as In the southern states of the United States. The government of these states is not democratic, nor is their power in national affairs on a demo- cratic basis. Similarly, the govern ment of India is a dictatorship and so ls the government of the colonial territories of European democracies.
 Where a small group controls the government of large numbers, with out reference to the choice or desire Of these large numbers-even if the control is intended for their good there is dictatorship. But modern dictatorship is not based upon dis functions of birth or religion. It is a survival, in the western world from the period before democratic ideas became practical politics. Western democracy involved both the direct political influence of wom- en and also a free press. therefore France is not politically a western democracy"
 Democracy An Experiment
 However democracy is an ex- pertinent and so far it has improv- ed human life and character wherever it has been tried. Women's s experience in governmental affairs has been too short to warrant any conclusions as the effect upon govern Tent and foreign policy which the feminine vote may have" Professor Burns declared.
 Half educated women are usually sentimentalists who place too high value upon mere words" he said. But there is no reason why the education of women should not i'm prove. The danger is that they may suppose mons education to be good and copy that"
 Professor Willard T. Thorp, of Amherst college, speaking before the round table, recent economic changes in Europe" stated that in- creasing interest has been manifest ed since the World war in factual data and statistical technique. The interest has developed more rapid ly in America, he said, although Europe is now making rapid strides.
