while to fight democracy. They seem
to take it for granted that democracy
is through. Fascism and communism
fight against each other to determine
which is to be the successor of de-
mocracy.
Both Deny Democracy's Aims.
Whichever wins, and wherever
either wins, both bring denial of the
fundamental characteristics Of de-
mocracy. Both deny the idea of a
free society. both deny any distinc-
tton between government and So
ciety-both insist that government
and society are one, the "totalitarian
state" Fascism and communism both
deny parliamentary government; both
use dictatorship as the mechanism of
government. Both deny the division
OF government into coordinate
branches, both insist on the "authori-
tartan" conception. Both deny the
supremacy of law, both conceive of
government as government by men
rather than by laws. Both deny the
right of free speech, both deny free
dom of the press, both deny freedom
of religion. Both deny courts as in
dependent tribunals standing between
the government and the individual.
Indeed, the broad underlying princi-
pie common to both fascism and
communism is that the individual has
no rights which government needs to
respect.
To recite what fascism and COM
muniSm deny is to recite what democ-
racy assures. FaScism and communism
are the negation of democracy Wher-
ever fascism or communism take hold,
1t is the extinction of democracy.
And today those who cherish de-
mocracy are under the necessity of
fighting to save it from determination
That battle is on, and up to this mo-
ment 1t does not go in favor of de-
mocracy.
Last Stand of Democracy.
1t is not too much to say that the
United States, with Great Britain
and some smaller countries, are the
last firm stand of democracy. And
it is the United States rather than
any other country that is the last
citadel. For the United States is, I
think, the only country in which de-
mocracy. free society and the speci-
fled rights which go with it, are
guaranteed to the individual in a
written Constitution America is the
last stronghold against movement
which everywhere submerges the in
dividual, everywhere gives to govern
ment unlimited power to compel the
individual, everywhere reduces the in
dividual to complete Subjection to the
will of the man who gets control of
government.
That the battle goes against democ-
racy in the world is certain, the map
tells the story. Can We be sure that,
even within the United States, de-
mocracy holds its own?
If this is not the true pattern of
the present state of the world, I
should like to be enlightened by some
competent student To be contra
dicted convincingly would be a relief.
But if this is the true pattern. it is
something for Americans to think
seriously about.

Principles.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

IN AMERICA, nine out of ten of us,
so far as we think in terms of
/ public affairs, keep our minds on

ton. That is natural enough. Yet to

| affairs at all think mainly about
whether or not the present situation
in Spain will lead to a general war
in Europe. For dwelling on that
there is abundant justification. But
a more searching inquiry into just
what is going on would uncover an
| underlying conflict Of forces which
is the fundamental pattern of the
| worlds travail.
Until 1917, there were two forms of
government and society. One was
monarchy with varying limitations.
| The other was democracy, of which
the United States was the outstanding
example. Democracy was the newer
form. 1t was the latest model Before
1917, wherever in the world changes
of government took place. they were
in the direction Of democracy. That
the whole world would gradually take
on democracy was perhaps the one
conviction most generally held by per-
sons who thought about society and
government.
Communism, Then FaScism.
Then in 1917 came something new,
the communism that was set up in
Russia. This was thought by most
persons to be merely a passing phase.
an incident OF revolution into democ-
racy. But while we waited for DEM
ocracy to arrive in Russia, there came
into the world another new thing,
fascism in Italy And 10 years later
variation Of fascism took foothold in
Germany.
Since 1917 democracy has been in
retreat-it is no longer the latest mod
el Although the world has been in a
ferment Of change, the change has
not been toward democracy. Since
1917 the two forms of society and
government that have been extending
the area they cover are communism
and faScism. Just now the two are
in battle to determine which shall
have Spain.
Is not that correct outline Of
what is going on in the world? 1t is
picture of democracy shrinking in
area, faSciSm and communism ex-
panding. 1t is a picture of democracy
in retreat, democracy fighting a rear
guard action for survival-with
fascism and communism contending
against each other for increasing areas
of the earth's surface. 1t is significant.

National Geographic Party
Explores "River of
No Return"

Idaho's "Grand Canyon" deeper
than the famous Grand Canyon of
the Colorado, has been explored and
photographed from end to end BY
the National Geographic societys Sal,
mon River expedition, according to
an announcement from the Washing
ton, d.. c., headquarters of the Ma
tional Geographic society
"The Salmon river flows through
one of the widest regions in the
United States" the announcement
continues. Five hundred miles long,
it rises in Reddish lake in central
Idaho. After flowing about %
miles eastward, 1t veers north, near
ly touching the Idaho Montana boun-
Diary. Then. as If preferring to re-
main in Idaho, it turns westward
across the Idaho waistlne Finally
the Salmon pours its torrents into
the Snake river, about so miles
south of Lewiston, Idaho.
First to Record Features.
while hunters and tourists have
drffted down the Salmon, members of
the National Biographies expedition
were the first to negotiate the stream
to study the geological formation of
the region and to record thoroughly
its features by black and white and
natural color photography.

sturdy scows, built especially for
the Salmon and manned by expert
boatmen who know every rock and
habit of the river, are used to nego
tate the treacherous stream. The
scows have no power, not even oars.
Their steering gear consists of two
long rudderlike sweeps, one at either
end of the craft.
"At times the expeditions scows
moved downstream at rate of more
than 10 miles an hour. That speed
was not particularly dangerous in
smooth water, but when there were
