A TRIBUTE

DEMOCRACY

HUNGARIAN EX-PREMIER'S

STATEMENT

Budapest.

An eloquent tribute to the muc-) cess of British democracy is paid by Count Bethlen, the former) Prime Minister now on a visit to England. In a statement he has made to the Hungarian press.

Whilst in other countres de- mocracy, unable to solve the diffi cult problems of these times, either gave way to other forms of government or simply shelved tho problems, English democracy proved itself equal to the oc- casion, he said.

Eliminating all party differences, it created a united front in order to save the nating from a difficult situation.
