home town for a visit after acquir-
ing the speech and manners char
acteristic Of the best English So
ciety. Miss Deets' clever acting as
the woman VINO changed quite cas-
ly from the English society woman
to an American matron scheming

BETWEEN DICTATORSHIP
AND DEMOCRACY DESCRIBED FOR CLUB
Society
Clubs

The world today is witnessing
the greatest upheaval in its his
tory. with democracy in n death
struggle with dictatorship. declared
DR.. Lewis Lesley, associate profess
sor of history. San Diego State col
1ege. in a brilliant address given
before the Women s University
club at the Barbara Worth hotel
last night.
Interdependency of nations eX-
lists today, and great governmental
upheavalS in Europe directly affect
the United States. said the speak
er
This country he declared to be
the greatest defense against the en-
croachments on democracy and it
is well for its citizens to realize
anew the many privileges which a
democratic form of government
confers upon its people. While a
dictatorship may be more efficient,
efficiency in no way compenSates
the individual for the privileges of
freedom of conscience, freedom to
express his opinion, freedom to
have a voice in the government
under which he lives, which are
guaranteed him under the consti-
tuition of the United States. DR..
Lesley pointed out that it behooves
each citizen to remember carefully
the privileges he has as an Ameri-
can which far outweigh any in
crease in efficiency obtaining un-
der the three great relationships of
the world today, Italy, Germany,
and Russia.
Religion under a dictatorship
may be controlled in two ways, it
may be entirely wiped aside as in
Russia, or it may e> made to serve
the state, as Hitler attempted in
Germany. DR.. Lesley described in
detail the struggle between Hitler
and the Protestant and Roman
Catholic churches in Germany, the
two churches uniting for the first
time since the days Of Martin Lu-
ther to fight tor freedom of re-
ligiouS conscience.
Effect of this religious and po-
litical struggle in Germany on the
plebiscite to be taken in the Saar
basin territory January 13. when
the people of that county will de-
termine whether they wish to re-
turn to Germany, be annexed to
France or retain their govern
ment under tire League OF Nations
commission, was discussed by the
speaker.

great militarization of the nations

672,381 short tons, an increase OF
1875 per cent when compared with
shipments of SGT, ,457 during a SINH
lar period last year, according to
cables to the New York Coffee and
Sugar Exchange.

shipped to date. In addition to the
general quota, each mill has its
respective quota which in some
cases has already been exceeded.
