COL. -BoULToN

COL. WARREN-B ULTON
OPENS: Critics of British democracy
are about century behind the times.
Britain's democracy is even more eff
fective than that of the United States
and requires no comment. The de-
mocracy of the British Common
wealth of Nations is equally WE'LL
known. l, therefore, assume Mr..
Flynn will center his argument
around the Empire policy in such
places as Burma, Malaga and India.
Having lived in India for 80 years
l can speak most clearly on that
issue, and it serves as cross-section
of British policy. Several basic po-
litical facts must be considered: ID
The Government of India Act of 1885
gave the Indian Provinces self-gov-
ernment in all internal matters; (2)
The great majority of Indian Civil
Service officials are Indians; (3) of
the IL Cabinet posts in the Executive
Council nine are held by Indians.
Consider five basic economic facts:
ID Britain puts more money into
India than she gets out-there is no
exploitation; (2) with Britain's
help-brains and cash-India now
ranks among the worlds great in
dustrial nations; (3) India has been
given dams and irrigation works ex-
ceeded only in the United States and
Canada; (4) virtually all Indian in
dustries are owned by Indians and
the profits remain in India; (5) India
can buy from any nation she chooses.
Is this policy "undemocratic"?
MR.. FLYNN CHALLENGES: fear
Col Warren-Boulton has taken the
wrong bus. We are not discussing
India but the government of England
itself. Nevertheless, the ColonePs il
lusion that India is a democracy IL
lustrates the lack of meaning in the
word as used in war propaganda.
If India is democracy, so is Russia
And the slogan that we fight for
democracy is meaningless. When Col
Warren-Boulton returns to England
let him put the question to some
nglishman-Winston Churchill, for
instance. He will repeat what he
once told the Commons, that Eng
land is not, never has been and
never will be democracy"
COL. WARREN-BOULTON RE-
PLIES: Obviously England is not a
democracy. No such state exists. But
Britain's principles are demonstrably
democratic. Comparing India and
Russia is misleading. Obstacles to in
creased democracy in India lie not
in the system but in the capacities
of the people. Britain has made real
progress in fostering democracy
among a people speaking 270 Ian
guages, 96 million of whom are for
hidden by their Hindu caste to i'm
prove their social status. Obstacles
to Russian democracy (90T6 literate,
1907 dominated by personal govern
ment) is the fault of the system. In
the British and Indian Emr res de-
mocracy has kept pace with proved
capacity for seh-government
Smyrna times., 1944-03-30
MIR. FLYNN OPENS: First =

MIR. FLYNN OPENS: First we
must decide what we mean by de-
mocracy. 1t is society in which the
supreme power is lodged in the hands
of the people collectively. 1t implies
also an equality of rights among the
people. 1t is. of course, ridiculous
to apply the term democracy" to a
nation in which one house of the
legislature is reserved for a limited
number of people-an elite-some of
whom enjoy their membership by
virtue of inheritance, in which an
established nobility is legally recog-
nized and in which there is a mon
arch possessing powers not merely
in the processes of the government,
but by virtue of his immense social
prestige. England is a constitutional
monarchy in which the people pos
sess vast power but in which an
aristocracy is legally established. The
English do not claim to be democ-
racy. But American anglophiles set
up that claim for her every twenty
five years when it becomes necessary
to involve us in war to save de-
mocracy". The abuse of this word
democracy" is a menace. Propa-
gandists play with it to befuddle us.
Let's call things by honest names.
Russia is dictatorship. Britain is
parliamentary monarchy. The United
States is a republic.
COL. WARREN-BoULToN E. d.
CHALLENGES: England has a King.
Mr.. Flynn has a coccyx. But that
neither makes England autocratic
nor Mr.. Flynn simian. England is not
a democracy; it is democratic. No
king has raised his voice politically
for 300 years. The House of Lords
has no legislative or delaying powers,
The Prime Minister is constantly and
Immediately subject to the will OF
the people; he can be fired over
night. Incidentally, England changes
Prime Ministers more than America
changes Presidents. And only last
week a cobbler's son defeated the
future Duke of Devonshire in Par
liamentary election. Come, come, Mr..
Flynn.
MIR. FLYNN REPLIES: The Colo
mel is singularly ignorant of his
country's laws. In 1911 the Lords
lost their power to reject money
bill. But every other public act must
be passed by Commons and Lords. II
the Lords reject an act, the House
may pass it, unamended, at succeed.
ing session. If the Lords reject il
again, the House may pass it at a
third session. 1t may then become
law without the Lords. They have
two vetoes Englishmen know this.
I am afraid the Colonel has been
trapped by American propaganda
about English democracy. Very en-
barrassing for an Englishman.

FOOD OUTPUT
Delaware Cooperative Has
Completed Six Years of
Service to Farmers
SERVICE INCREASED

The Delaware Rural Electric AS
sociation, Greenwood, Delaware,
has completed six years of supply
ing electric service to farmers and
other rural consumers in this area
on March %, according to Manager
Robert R. Jefferson. Since the
Co-operative's lives were first ener-
gized in 1888, it has brought elec-
tricity at cost to 1855 consumers
who now are able to use power to
help increase production of food for
the war. Farms served by the Co
operative have increased from 1888
to 2453 during the past year.
WPB Regulations
War Production Board regula-
tions since January, 1943, have au-
thorized the connection to rural
power lines of nearby farms able to
use electrical equipment in live
stock, dairy and poultry produc-
ton. Farms connected to the Co
operatives lines under the WPB
regulations use water pumps for
livestock, chick brooders, and other
electrical labor-saving and food
production devices.
Invest In War Bonds
Mr.. Jefferson reported that the
Cooperative is meeting its obliga-
tions on its construction loans, af-
ter putting adequate funds in re-
serve for maintenance of its facil-
tiles. REA had advanced the Co.
operative $1,012,377 on it's con-
struction allotments as of Decem-
ber 81, 1943. Principal and inter
est repaid by the Cooperative on
it's construction loans amounted to
$206,004, which is $80,000.00 more
than the 25-year amortization
schedule demanded. In addition,
the Cooperative has invested S10,-
10000 in War Bonds as a reserve
for emergency and for later main
tenance.

can be heard from them, both ir
private conversation and around
not too private dinner tables. These
slurs and insinuations are just as
false as those so flatly contradicted
by Mr.. Cowley and which, he as
serted, originally had been, put out
by Berlin and Tokyo radio.
1t is true that the great bulk of
American officers are wholly free
from any anti-British feeling; have
nothing but praise of the British as
fighters and friends. But, there are
enough others who, one way or the
other, have been irritated by indi-
vidual Englishmen and who have
been expressing themselves, to
cause concern at the top.
1t Is time something were done
about all this, and it can be stated
that disciplinary measures are un-
der consideration. Certainly, moth
ing could be more worthwhile
With the war about to reach its
climax and the effectiveness of the
peace resting largely upon British
American cooperation and under
standing, discord of this character
is about as bad thing as could be
All these baseless anti-British re-
