DEMOCRATIC IDEALS.
NO FASCISM IN BRITISH EMPIRE. MB DOAVNIE STEWART’S ADDRESS Received September 28, 11.40 a.m. ' TORONTO, Sept. 27. The hope that the British Commonwealth would hold fast to the ideals of democracy was expressed to-day by Mr AV. Downie Stewart (New Zealand), when addressing the Poltical Association. The drift of Europe was toward Fascism and dictatorships, but, he said, “Fascism has not taken substantial root in Britain, nor in any of the Empire countries.” He admitted the claims of critics that democracies were inclined to be unstable and explained that the two great dangers were degeneration into anarchy or the development of a dictatorship. Associations of manufacturers and workers, men of letters, men of science, the freedom of the Press and an indpendent judicial system were the safeguards which helped to save democracies from slipping into dictators’ hands.
