Mr. Harry Taylor. Commissioner of
Industry spoke before the Citizens Pro-
gressive League of Frederiksted last
night. 0
lie discussed citizenship and the re.
possibilities it carries with il.
Emphasizing that with all its failures
a democracy is the best form of govern,
ment, he finally showed that the govern.
ment will reflect the intelligence of the
citizens who choose their leaders. M
Mr.. Taylor said that though the fran
chise is yet limited every one is. in
broad sense citizen and. it is inevita-
BILE that the time must come when all
will be permitted to vote.
His comparison between a democracy
and dictatorship showing how much
the success of dictatorship depended
upon the man who is the dictator while
the successes of democracy depended
st all times on the people, was very iIlu-
minating.
