MR. SHAW ON DEMOCRACY.

What He Meant by "The Apple Cart."

MEANS OF SALVATION.

At last, (says a Morning Post correspondent) "The Apple Cart" is published-as a gift to the sub- atribers for the new and complete edition of Mr. Bernard Show's works; and with the play is the eagerly awaited preface explaining what the play meant.

The author now replies to the "confident anticipations that he would explain in an elaborate pre- fatory treatise on Democracy why 1. formerly a notorious democrat, hava apparently veered round to the opposite quarter and become a devoted Royalist."

THE CHINA MAIL.

The population, or go much of it as aspired to take part in govern. ing, would be thus tested and grad- ed according to capacity.

I "would be done by machinery. Of course, he says, he has under- should connect my telephone with gone no such changé. It tickled his the proper office, touch a button, fancy to show a King at logger- and the machine would do the rest." "Breakages, Limited," the power- heads with his Ministers gaining a triumph over them "not by exercis-ful company which really governs ing his royal authority, but by the kingdom portrayed in "The was suggested, Mr. threatening to resign it and go to Apple Cart"

Shaw tells us, by the fate of Mr. the democratic poll."

A. W. Gattie, the inventor of a of simplified transport system which would have effected "an enormous saving of labour and He was crushed by the smash," combined efforts of officialdom and vested interests, and "The Apple Caft," says its author, "is so far his only shrine."

That so many critics who believe themselves to be ardent democrats should take the entirely personal triumph of the hereditary King over the elected Minister to be a triumph of autocracy over demo- cracy, and its dramatisation an act the part of politial apostasy on of the author, convinces me that our professed devotion to political principles is only a mask for our idolatry of eminent persona."-

Swinging Blows."

"The Apple Cart," he goes on to sny, "expects the unreality of both Democracy and Royalty as our And then idealists conceive, them." we get some swinging blows all round in Mr. Shaw's well-known manner. For example:

As to Parliaments. they are no any better than Cabinets--at rate, in Mr. Shaw's opinion, the Bri- tish Parliament has become "a stranglehold on geuine Democracy. Ita painfully involved machinery is 80 effective in obstruction that we take thirty years by constitutional methods to do thirty minutes' work, and shall presently be forced to clear up thirty year's arrests in thirty minutes by unconstitutional ones unless we pass a Reform Bill that will make a complete revolu- tion in our political machinery and procedure."

In the capital alone it is estimated that at least 300,000 ration books are In use illegally. In tangible terms this means that every day 300,000 additional rations of bread, meat and other products are drawn out of the available provisions and that tens of thousands entitled to rations, must go without:

empty-handed.
