HERE AND TIL ERE

Ed tors and journal i SITS through
out the world have duri ng the past
couple Of weeks used the word Democracy
q million lines or more; and it is
safe to say that no two Of them nor
any two Of their readers have read the
word with even approximate agreement
as to it's meaning.
Webster says that it comes from
the Greek and means: "Goverment by
the people; government in viii Oh the
supreme power is retained by the people
and exercised by represen tat ion,
in republic"
Now, in these times Of confus ion,
when there is so much talk Of the need
for the "Democratic nat ions" to band
together against Dictators, definitions
should be closely examined and applied
in order that no wolf in sleeps skin
may be admi ted to the party.
Webster has stated that "the sup
reno power is retained by the people"
and explains that it i S exercised by
representation, by VIII ich he obviously
means the vote. Now comes the ques-
ton: How effecti vely the citizen
retain the supreme power through the
instrument Of the ballot? In other
words, to what extent do the nation
which have suffrage enjoy Democracy?
This question become confusing in
deed whe we realize that the vote
ext SITS 9th in Nazi Germany and Soviet
Transformations WIFI CHI we are 81 ven to
understand are violently opposed to
Democ cratic forms Of government.
Thus we see that the vote in
itself does not consti tute Democracy
for where there is the threat Of force
the vote is meaningless and mere
palliative. Millions Of Germans and
Russians, very much as you and I,
period cally go through the motions
Of Democracy and probably confuse it
with the real thing.
Democracy has been murdered in
these countries, and the criminals
