KEEP IDEALS
AIR DOWNIE STEWART’S VIEW. (U oited Press Association— By Electric Telegraph-Copyright) f y ? ■ . .-?i. ia : ! - TORONTO, September 27. The hope that the British Commonwealth would hold fast to the ideals of democracy, was expressed to-day by Mr W. Downie Stewart,. when addressing the Political Association. The drift of Europe was toward Fascism and. dictatorships, ■ but “Fascism has not taken substantial root in Britain, i or in any. of the ’ Empire countries,” ■ he said. '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 dictatorship through .associations of manufacturers, workers, men of letters, or men of science. The freedom of the Press and an independent judicial system were safeguards which helped to save democracies from slipping into dictatoris’ hands.
