What
Is
DEMOCRACY
?
OF
US
HERE
TODAY
have
always
lived
in
a
free
country.
Up
MOST
to
1939,
we
little
realized
and
even
now
some
do
not
realize
that
our
democratic
way
of
life
could
be
threatened.
Our
boys
fought
and
died
to
preserve
for
us
the
life
to
which
we
have
grown
so
accustomed.
Let
us
not
think
that
with
fighting
over
in
Europe
democracy
is
safe.
Far
from
it
We
must
fight,
fight
hard
and
continuously
or
we
"will
lose
it
What
is
Democracy?
Democracy
cannot
be
easily
defined.
It
means
so
much.
It
has
given
us
the
best
kind
of
life.
What
it
does
mean:
the
protection
of
the
rights
of
the
individual
as
set
forth
in
the
following
creed:
The
rights
of
the
individual
to
work
and
the
right
to
private
property.
The
right
of
workers
to
band
together
and
to
act
together
within
the
limits
of
the
public
welfare
to
secure
a
just
return
for
their
labor.
The
inalienable
rights
of
individuals
to
say
what
they
think
in
private
and
in
public
which
is
freedom
of
speech
and
of
assembly;
the
right
to
publish
opinions
which
is
freedom
of
the
press;
the
right
to
demand
.an
accounting
from
representatives
in
government
and
repre-.
sentatives
in
labor
which
is
freedom
of
petition.
The
right
to
worship
God,
according
to
your
conscience
which
is
freedom
of
religion.
The
rights
of
liberty
that
every
man
may
exercise
his
God-given
rights
as
he
freely
chooses
to
exercise
them,
limited
only
by
the
equal
rights
of
every
one
of
his
fellow
men.
All
of
these
rights,
we
have
enjoyed
in
this
Canada
of
ours;
all
of
these
rights
we
would
have
lost,
had
the
war
ended
differently.
But
possibly
we
...have
taken
these
rights
too
much
for
granted.
We
may
lose
them
so
gradually
that
we
hardly
realize
unless
we
fight
and
fight
hard
for
them.
UNITEDSTATESELECTION
ITS
DECLINE,
speeded
by
the
com-I
plete
ineptitude
and
tactlessness
of
the
chief
executive
himself
and
an
uninspired
and
colorless
administration,
the
expected
happened
in
yesterday's
off-year
general
elections
in
the
United
States
and
the
Democratic
party,-
in
power
for
fifteen
yearrf
since
the
great
days
of
Frankin
D.
Roosevelt's
rise,
are
put
of
legislative
control
it
is
apparent.
What
-was
started
yesterday
will
doubtless
be
completed
in
the
presidential
election
two
years
hence
when
it
is
safe
to
assume
that
the
Republicans
will
take
the
administrative
as
well
as
the
legislative
reins.
Meantime,
of
course,
it
will
be
hard
driving
and,
at
an
unfortunate
time,
too,
when
it
would
have
been
so
desirable
to
have
courageous
and
strongly-mandated
government
instead
of
stalemate.
Unfortunately,
under
the
weakness
of
the
Constitution,
this
is
the
situation
which
must
be
faced.
Ppssibly,
however,
the
legislative
opposition
may
be
a
spur
to
reasonable
administration.
Certainly,
the
-Democratic
party,
in
its
dying
hours,
may
be
expected
to
struggle
to
redeem
the
ground
that
it
has
lost
since
Roosevelt
died.
"'
The
world
was
greatly
interested
in
this
election
because
foreign
and
economic
policy
of
the
United
States
has
such
a
great
bearing
on
world
affairs
now
that
the
nation
has
'abandoned
any
vestige
of
isolation
as
it
was
once
known.
Under
the.
Truman
administration,
there
have
been
economic
trends
in
the
United
States
that
have
been
very
disturbing
and
have
made
themselves
felt
in
the
rest
of
the
world,
especially
Canada.
Fortunately,
there
is
no
prospect
of
any
change
in
foreign
policy,
no
matter
what
happens
in
elections,
and,
more
fortunately,
the
one
outstanding
raem-.ber
of
the
Truman
administration,
James
Byrnes,
has
the
guiding
of
;
foreign
policy,
It
is
to
be
hoped
his
i
position
will
not
be
made
untenable

Enthusiasm

which
now

of
the

Chamber
of

was
commented
upon
by
JJoyd
Morris,
president
of
the
Junior
Chamber
of

at
Monday
night's
meeting
of
the
in
these
critical
days
due
to
the
political
situation
at
home.
With
no
Roosevelt
and
no
Wilkie
on
the
scene
now,
presidential
prospects,
in
the
light
of
yesterday's
election,
are
naturally
a
matter
of
Keen
speculation.
With
the
almost
FOOD
IS
VITAL
NAPOLEON
is
credited
with
having
said
that
"an
army
marches
on
its
belly."
The
truth
of
this
assertion
Tias
always
been
recognized.
Food
is
just
as
absolutely
essential
to
the
fighting
efficiency

of
modern

and

forces
as
oil,
gasoline,
trucks,
tanks,
planes,
ships,
guns,
ammunition,
shoes,
other
clothing,
and
medical
supplies
and
services
are.
A
new
emphasis
on
food
has
developed
since
the
outbreak
of
World
War
II.
Not
only
is
food
essential
in
winning
a
war
but
more
and
more
the
nations
of
the
world
are
learning
that
the
surest
means
of
attaining
world
peace
is
to
'remove
and
prevent
want,
starvation
and
malnutrition.
Herbert
Hoover
epitomized
the
truth
of
this
in
graphic
language:
"The
first
voice
of
war
is
guns
but
the
final
voice
in
making
peace
is
food."
President
Roosevelt
in
his
"Four
Freedoms"
and
the
provisions
of
the
Atlantic
Charter
envisages
positive
national
and
international
action
to
this
end.
.
Such
is
the
new
concept
of
food
and
its
importance
in
the
whole
world
economy
and
its
fundamental
position
as
a
factor
in
maintaining
world
peace.
