SURVIVAL OF THE FIT.
A DEAN’S WARNING
DEMOCRACY THE SILLIEST OF FETISHES.
London. Nov. 12.
The Rev. Dr. Inge, Dean of St. Paul’s in an address to the Women’s Diocesan Association, declared that democracy was the silliest of fetishes. The transfer of industrial wealth to Eastern Asia would prove the certain sequel to the European labour movement, and a worse fate would probably befall Australia, which was within easy reach of the far mere efficient yellow industrials. He was unable to join in a chorus advocating the Church’s co-operation with the labour movement. Socialism might suit a country like New Zealand until the British fleet ceased to guard it. Then the yellow men would make short work of pampered trade unionists.
