TRUE DEMOCRACY AND TRUE
INTERNATIONALISM
In all the talk of “saving the world
for democracy” that has been proceed
ing from high places, the determina
tion has persisted to use the word
“democracy” in its European, rather
than in its true American sense. True
democracy finds its expression in the
republic; in representative govern
ment. That democracy safe for the
world, providing both liberty and se
curity, is the republicanism of the
American Constitution. And the true
internationalism, as this paper has
often pointed out, is found in the
peaceful residence under the Ameri
can flag, of all the varied elements
of European race and nationality; If
not merely their residence here, but
their absorbtion of a common spirit
of nationality based upon common
conceptions of government rather
than upon age old predilections and
prejudices.
The ideals of this true democracy,
this true internationalism, were lost
sight of even by those who were sup
posed to represent America at the
peace conference. No attempt was
made to carry the ideals* of this
country to Europe, but an effort was
made to transfer the ideals of Europe
. to America. Neither true democracy
nor world peace are consistent with
the European system of caste and
class, or racial and dynastic jealous
ies and hatreds, of multiplication of
nationalities, which lie at the bottom
of European civilization, caused the
world war, and remain as causes for
wars yet to come.
Curiously enough this truth which
some Americans, steeped in European
conceptions, are unable to understand,
some European students of govern
ment clearly comprehend. Lady
Frances Evelyn Warwick, Countess of
Warwick, seems to have a better com
prehension of fundamental American
ism than some of those whc stand in
(he forefront of American public life.
In a speech recently delivered 0I13
revealed an understanding of the fact
that the existence of hereditary titles
and caste based upon birth is not the
mere unimportant survival of tradi
tion some of our Europeanized Amer
icans would have us believe, but that
'< Is a symbol of a swtem entirely
out of harmony with the underlying
principles of Americanism,—that it is
something, we may add for ourselves,
with which we should not readily en
ter into partnership in any league of
kingdoms and empires in which our
national sovereignty is in any degree
yielded. Let Europe give evidence of
real conversion to the doctrines of
true democracy,—which are some
thing more than patronizing the poor
or rule by class conscious “proletar
ians,”—before we surrender our own
real democracy and genuine internal
ism for the spurious and pretended
sort.
These words by a titled English
woman should be read by every
American who wishes to have a truer
understanding of what his own repub
lic stands for in the eyes of a com
prehending foreign student of our in
stitutions.
“I deplore kingship—it is the eternal
foe of peace. I see no security for
Europe until democracy has grown up,
learning to act as well as talk, until
the prostitution of titles, honors, dec
orations and the rest, has been car
ried so far that even the most ignor
ant can see them for what they have
become, until the narrower patriotism
has seen light of the international.
“The face of Europe is seamed and
riddled with kingship and hereditary
right. France alone, that nation of
genius, has thrown it off. But when I
look across the Atlantic it is to mil
\
lions of miles that have never felt
the footprint of a monarch.
“Freedom, so long a fact with us
here in England, a fact subject to a
score of modifications, and yet, a fact
for all that, is now merely a name
and threatens to become a memory.
In the United States, in spite of un
favorable labor conditions in certain
industrial centers, freedom is a fact,
and there is universal recognition of
the worth of man. What wonder if
those of us here who feel as I do
turn to the greatest republic in the
world that day by day is carrying out
the supreme experiment of amalga
mation, proving that there are no
races under the sun that given ample
scope and equal liberty cannot dwell
side by side in peace ’
Believeing that, despite the acute
problems of reconstruction, British
-women are still chiefly c ncerned
with the recurrence of a war that has
taken millions of their sons, Lady
Warwick said:
“The internationalist contends that
the people who understand one anoth
er properly will not mass themselves
into vast companies for mutual de
struction.
“They say there is nothing in race
to justify antagonism, that the Eng
lishman. Frenchman, German and Jew
can live side by side in amity under
proper conditions of life. The United
States, where men of all countries
live in peace, has demonstrated the
truth of this theory—it is the greatest
supporter of internationalism on the
planet.
“Our European system of rule and
manners makes flukes of honest men.
America makes men out of slaves who
have fled from Europeean misrule. 1
have long been thinking that I will
end my days in America.”
Government experts are this year
going to experiment in crossing the
reindeer with the woodland caribou.
Next year a petition is to be circu
lated in this section of Alaska to
have the government experiment in
i crossing the snow-shoe rabbit with
; the porcupine in an endeavor to get
a porky without quills.—Douglas

tobacco or cigar.
Double this number.
Add eight.
Divide by two.
Subtract the number you
started with.
Multiply by three.
Add one.
Subtract six.
Come into the Horseshoe, and
if the man at the counter can
not tell you the correct answer
