DEMOCRACY IN

CHINA

Address At Chinese

'Y.,M, C. A.

"Democracy in China" form- ed the subject of a very in- teresting talk, at the Chinese... YM.C.A. last night, by Mr. Percy Chen, who in the course of his address, said:~~.

The classic definition of Demo. cracy is that given by Lincoln, the greatest President" of the United States. He said it was Govern- ment of the People, for the People and by the People,"

Western Democracy was born as a political system in the minds of the civilisations centred around the warm waters of the Mediterranean, It crystalised in ancient Greece and later in Rome. But it was the democracy of a minority. the "tree-men," and the Greek and Roman democracies stood upon a pedestal of slavery and slaves.
