DEMOCRACY IS NOT EASY
"The Prime Minister," said Sir John Simon in a recent House of Commons speech, "has more than once observed that in some way democracy is not the easiest of systems to work. But it is our system, and it is the system by which we all mean to hold. The preservation and the exercise of our liberties depend, I think, largely on our willingness to accept necessary restraints for the purpose of safeguarding the essentials of freedom, and this Bill is brought before the House as a measure which will, we hope, help to preserve the rights of citizens as a whole, without interfering with the rights of assembly or of public meeting, by laying down the necessary conditions of public order."
