B.C., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28th, 1935 No. 4^ DEMOCRACY VERSUS. DICTATORSHIP HONORED TWICEIN PAST MONTH /: While the object of. ahy community paper ia primarily to (leal with local matWrs^ yet there are questions of national import which may so affect the life of every person in the land" as to become a fit subject for editorial, comment on the part ol overy ̂newspaper. Of such is the. question of .democracy vonsua dictatorship. . The editor of the Nev^ Tribune of New York, a well known sludont of international affairs, recently spoke in Vancouver 0)1 this subject. He. said that "perhaps democracy'•was'the; greatest casualty of the war." The spirit of democracy had gone down before the spirit of dictatorship because the latter "got things done," And in the chaos and disorganization which follo>ved the War the latter spirit triumphed for the same reason. ' ' \ * , • Now, dictatorships involve a certain loss of liberty on the part of the individual, a thing no man willingly surrenders without he, sees'greater corresponding advantages. Loss of liberty is the greatest objection to this form of government. But let. us riot forget that a dictator who is not really satisfy­ ing his people does not last long. He usually dies» a fate which . would undoubtedly, have befallen Mussolini and Hitler had their peoples n o t,felt .they were either honestly "delivering ' the goods" or. trying to do so. ' • The fundamental weakness of defnocracy is contained in the old adage, "Too many cooks spoil the broth." And when the cooks are more concerned with filling their own stomachs than looking after those for whom they are bmng- paid to cook, naturally.trouble ensues. Politics as played today by th e ' political cooks of the derriocratic nations, is finished, and "gov­ ernment of thb people by the people for the people" ,must be-; . come .a fact arid riot iriierely a slogan to ydn elections. Other­ wise democracy is doomled. ' ' .

V. NorSal belonging to the Powell Rivei' Company, which has been offer­ ed to them for purchase. She is a very finely appointed boat 185 feet long, and is a t present used to convey that company's dii^ctors to and from Powell River. Considerable reconstruc­ tion work would have to be done before she could be used for ferry.purposes, but, if converted, she would be bigger and faster than either of the- two present ferries.
