DEMOCRACY OLD. AND NEW.

MR. BALDWIN'S ADDRESS.

A: BROADCAST,” TO AMERICA.

Mr. Stanley Baldwin spoke on when Democracy, old and new he delivered the Dr. John Clifford Lecture in connection with the annual conference of the Brother hood movement at Coventry last month. The address was broadcast to not only in England, but America.

Is had lost ground in so many coun tries recently, and once more they" were told there was no escape from the circular movement of tyranny, oligarchy, democracy, and back to tyranny again, Impatience with things as they are is widespread, and here in England there is a cur rent of discontent running, though do not it is not very strong. think it is likely to boil up and sub- merge the Parliamentary institu- tions with which we are familiar. Our political capacity for avoiding upheavals has long been envied by our Continental neighbours. They will find once again, I venture to prophesy, that wo shall get together and modify presently our institu- tions and practices to suit the new conditions. We are not good at planning ahead in England, but we have a gift for improvising and gift for compromise. Within the House of Commons there is a grow ing sense of a need for overhauling the ship of State. Mr. Lloyd George recently compared it with one of the old windjammers. Mr. Chur chill would like to see a new de liberative body, and Mr. Sidney. Wedd [Lord Passfield] is seeking,

Giro was found with his skull fractured on the railway track on the bridge crossing, Lambeth Road, S.W.

Agitated Statement. Stephen Gregory Errpedocles, an official of the Commercial Bank of the Near East, London Wall, E.C., said Giro came into the bank the day before his death in a very agitated condition and asked him to take a statement from him, be cause he was being pursued. The official added

On behalf of Miss Johnson, who was compelled, while in Australia to employ two secretaries to deal with her business, and personal cor- respondence, Mr. Cyril Westcott (Lord Wakefeld's representative in Austràlia) made an exhaustive reply.

Some of the worst features of the old system have been got rid of, but have we ceased, to create and perpetuate the pauper class which was the evil which we set out to destroy.
