BRITAIN TO-DAY
STILL GUARDIAN OF DEMOCRACY HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF (British Official Wireless.)' Press A*ociation—By Telegraph—Copyright RUGBY, November 26. (Received November 27, at 11 a.m.) Sir Grant Robertson (Vice-Chancellor of Birmingham University), speaking on the future’ of parliaihentary democracy, said that just as in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Britain, by refusing to follow the movement that led to the establishment of absolute monarchies in Europe, had thereby ,saved parliamentary democracy, so to-day Britain had the special duty to maintain at all costs the principles of parliamentary democracy, for which she was the especial trustee. Thereby she would enable the restoration of those principles in the happy future, particularly in Europe, to be brought about. Once this issue had been made clear to the British people he would have no fear of the ultimate result or of the future of parliamentary democracy.
