DICTATORS AND DEMOCRACY.
British Official Wireless. (Reed. 1.30 p.m.) RUGBY, Oct. 7. The rontrast between dictators in two inoiintrously armoured trains trundling to Brenner Pass, and the British King riding through the etreet« of hU bombridden capital, escorted only by two motor cycle policemen, is drawu "bv the Xew York "Hcrtld-Tribune." After remarking that the Royal couple were doing as much by the "example they set of unwavering courage ond smiling self-discipliue. and by their genuine heartfelt interest in the" plisrht of their people as are any servants or rulers or any Government, the newspaper adds that the toppling of European thrones and the t>uppo»ed impotency of others makes the world l«.<.k with wonder at the proa? Empire, which provides the paradox of a Mn>ng democracy and a strong monarchy, fully, naturally and effectively r-oinplcmcnlin™ each other.
