“Argentina is such a wonderful country that she could, if allowed, swamp the markets of the world in which Australia is interested with all the agricultural products which are produced in the temperate and subtropical portions of the southern hemisphere except Merino wool.”—Mr. W. J. Spafford, deputy director Agriculture, South Australia. Democracy “Democracy has come to stay, but it must be preserved by realizing the duties of citizenship attached to the possession and protection of a great privilege. Growth of a class of self-satisfied, indifferent electors, apathetic and absorbed only in personal interests, impervious to any appeal for sympathy, service or sacrifice, constitutes a menace to democracy beside which irresponsible agitation is far preferable.”—Chief Justice R. Greenshields, Quebec (Canada).
