This course should impress on
the young minds the danger of
allowing too much power to
rest in the hands of one or a few
individuals. They should be
taught to respect public officials
and to view the prospect of
holding public Office as a real
honor. They should know that
Americas government is a two
party government but that,
while they have to register as a
member of a political party in
order to vote in a primary, there
is nothing binding upon them to
vote for that party's nominees
in the general election. They
should be shown how too much
power in the hands of a political
machine can result in defiance
OF law and order and how diff
cult it becomes to break this i'll
gotten hold.
If We come through the pres
ent emergency unscathed in our
democratic set-up and if, as a
result of our experience in this
emergency, we adopt methods to
instruct the youngsters, we will
never again experience the sort
Of indifference which we face to-
day.

propaganda would be more harmful

this side of the water, that Lord
Halifax will be assisted by two min
listers, Sir Gerald Campbell, high
commissioner in Ottawa, and Neville
Butler, who has been Counselor of
the Embassy in Washington for the
last year and was recently raised
to the personal rank of Minister on
the recommendation of the late Lord
Lothian. Thus Britain, for the first
