that "the greatest dangers to democracy
are apthy, a lack of personal response
bility and an inability to look courage
ously at the world" This opinion ap-
pears in the March issue of The Demo-
cratic Digest, publication of the Demo

to question asked by Mrs. Wilbur W.

whether propaganda, exaggeration, and
misrepresentation are the greatest dan
gers to democracy. Mrs. Roosevelt says
Propaganda, exaggeration and mis-
representation are all dangers but not
the fundamental dangers. They become
dangerous because people are indiffer-
ent and cowardly."

minimum duty for good citizenship ITO
vote intelhgently in the primaries and

ments: ITO do this requires a knowl-
edge of the candidates and thought
