guests OF the Ladies' Literary Club
were told Wednesday afternoon.
4 capacity audience assembled at
the club house for the occasion
speaker being Malcolm Bingay, De
trolt newspaper writer. He was most
graciously introduced by MIS-. Henry
FRAN.
Democracy in a World Of Chaos
Was Mr.. Bingay's subject.
Touching upon the problems OF
the journalist in a strictly censored
war period. he declared that the
hope Of Democracy is the power Of
an aroused public opinion and that
the wonder OF Democracy is It's
ability 10 rise above the confusion
and !neptness Of government in an
era OF war.
As evidence Of the potency Of
democratic functioning. he cited
the recent changing OF the Winston
Churchill cabinet and the effect Of
the righteous wrath Of an aroused
nation upon Congress seltpension
act.
Going back 10 the theory OF Aris
totle that Democracy might lie made
to work for an educated people. he
traced the progress Of democracy
which, he said is still an expert
ment It started. he pointed out
with the only known social contract
ever 10 be signed. that drawn up
aboard the Maytloweg, when the
s.gners consented 10 be governed
This marked the cleavage Of old
and new world doctrines. Il
changed the status OF the official
making him the servant Of the gov.
erned rather than the master.
Mr. Bingay reminded his audi.
ence, that Z democracy supplies its
leadership in its hours of need and
he mentioned several outstanding
examples. The phrase, Government
o! the people, for the people and
by the people" he said, was used
II the preface CT the first English
translation o. the Bible in the year
1886
He had often reflected, he said,
that perhaps a Divine Providence
had set aside our beautiful continent
as a place where democracy might
be tried and refined because ou-
great America is made up OF refu.
gees from all countries OF the world
