We may be threatened and saved by (he same type of mind Threats To Democracy (Cincinnati Enquirer) The preservation of democracy depends on a gen- , eral respect for the common welfare, on a widespread | tolerance among various groups, and on the self- | restraint of those who may not agree with the major- | ity. Almost invariably, the failures of democ may | be traced to the abuse of freedom by small groups nd to selfish campaigns by small factions inimical | to the general welfare, 1is was emphasized by a thoughtful Princeton professor, Dr. Edwin G. Conklin, in a recent address The frictions of parties, labor unions, and ideologies, he said, might conceivably go so far as to cause “a large part of the people to welcome a social dictator- ship.” Turning to familiar examples abroad, Dr. Conklin recalled that “it was the abuses of freedom in Italy and Germatly, the paralysis of governmental and | social services by uncompromising conflicts among | numerous political parties, labor unions, religious and | social organizations, that led to the limitations of all freedom.” Among its other aspects, Fascism is a method of discipline. It imposes by force and even by terror the conformity which is necessary in some degree to any organized government. And if disputing factions whether political groups or labor unions, go too far in setting their own interests above the common in- terest, we shall inevitably see the rise of a popular willingness to try the desperate expedient of dictator- ship. | We need only recall what happened in Germany. One of the very first acts of Hitler in 1933 was to destroy every independent labor union. Since then wages have been regulated, which in practice has meant lowered. Working hours have been stretched out to 60 a week, with no corresponding increase in weekly earnings. The gains of German labor unions, achieved after decades of effort, were lost in a few | | weeks, One of the most construclive ways to preserve democratic freedom, therefore, is to combat the ener- vating quarrels among bloc: actions. Virtually every citizen is a member of one or several such groups. | He should make every effort to see that the group he belongs to does not set its own aims ahead of the well-being of the country as a whole. For if many | groups do so, persistently, they will finally pay a fear- ful price for their folly. International Higheay (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) Tt is to be hoped with all sincerity that this weel | conference of Canadian and United States commis- | sioners results in a practicable plan for construction | of the Alaska international highway. | Hands-across-the-horder speeches are very fine | but what the two nations need more are roads across the border that serve their populations, That friendly relations will continue between the | governments and the peoples of Canada and the Unit- ed States may be taken for granted. But friendly relationship should mean much more than the mere avoidance of war and the existence of an unfortified | border. | It should mean that the governments of the two nations utilize that relationship to the utmost for the benefit of their respective peoples. The exist f separate governments does not | lessen the to iheir peoples of such road facilities It will be cratic political o the two government feasible plan. advantages eflection upon the utility of demo- are unable now to agree upon a After the V { —Election | (Cleveland Plain Dealer) | One aftermath of the royal visit to Canada may be a general election in October.
