CHANGE IN GOVERNMENT
“There may be those in the world who believe that a regimented people, whose every thought and action is directed by one man, may give some people a type of security which is pleasing to them,”- said President Roosevelt in a recent speech. “But whatever convictions I have, none is stronger than my abiding belief that the security and well-being of the American people can best be served by the democratic processes which have made this country strong and great.” Mr Roosevelt called for the endorsement of contemporary “fighting liberal spirits," of whom he considered himself one, and who “admit the fact of change and seek to guide change into the right channels to the greater glory of God and the greater good of mankind. Necessarily," he added, “democratic methods within a nation's life entail change—the kind of change to meet new social and economic needs through recognised processes of government. Because we live in an era of acceleration, we can no longer trust to the evolution of future decades to meet these new problems. They rise before us today and they must be met today." '
