Bull garia Had No Democracy
AS Appraised by Americans

With a new dictatorship in Bull
garia. added to other similar de-
velopments in European countries,
Americans have given attention to
the possible fate of democracies. The
general conclusion is that democ-
racies fail where they never really
have lived. Rigid dictatorship is ap-
praised as makeshift material, under
which the people cannot continue to
be contented. The British and Amer
lean systems are put in a separate
class. Bulgarias change is widely
estimated as part of the strategy Of
King Boris.
Democracy cannot die where it
has never lived" believes the Den
yer Rocky Mountain News. That
paper adds that "a small band Of
politicians in league with the military
long ruled Bulgaria" and that "in
such nations as Britain, France and
the United States, where the people
are accustomed to liberty and power,
they will not sacrifice democracy
without a death struggle The
Akron Beacon Journal advises that
"the going craze for dictatorship will
work its own finish when the dis
franchised people Of nations con-
cerned are convinced that they made
a poor exchange when they traded
their votes for tyranny" The Schen-
ectady Gazette observes that zap
parently what passed for parliament
ary democracy was unable to cope
with the situation, for power was
divided among a number of minor
parties, and no faction was able to
attain permanent control"
Military relationships" says the
Kansas City Times, have been tried
out extensively for the last 1000
years. On the whole they have
worked so badly that they went into
the discard until the aftermath of
the war opportunity The demo-
cratic form was first tried only $50
years ago. So the necessary discipline
and experience it calls for have had
little opportunity to develop. But it
is fair assumption that the demo-
cratic principle will not be perma-

Upon the Judgment seat.
Innocent blood would not be shed,
Nor freedom be denied,
For thuth would then be verified:
A mighty wrong be rectifed.
The bitter cup they too, have share
And though their lives are spared,
True justice shall not be
Till they have gained their liberty.
If their blood is shed,
Truth and mercy both have fled
Hatred and prejudice rule insteod
Mans cruel judgments we ofte
fear,
But their day of retribution is near,
For the Lord is a God of know

And we have his solemn pledge,

Shall be repaid for each evil deed,
