LIFE IN A FREE COUNTRY
BLESSINGS OF DEMOCRACIES. Enumerating sohic of the blessings enjoyed by the democracies, the American Ambassador, Mr J. P. Kennedy, said in a recent speech:— “We still have our freedom. We can still read ' otir newspaper, listen to the radio Programmes we enjoy, say what we like, worship as We please, assemble and petition the Government for redress of our grievances. Workers have tho right to quit work. These are important things ih the life of a free country,” Mr Kennedy declared. “The people of other lands may see fit to yield their liberties. We should be grateful that we are still able to retain the way .of life which we have found, aftei’ centuries of experience, to be the most suitable for us. We still have faith. The blacker the road the more we shall need it. The tragedies of 2009 years have not dimmed the desire of man for a better way of life. Cynics may say that' man has not found a better way of life. I find consolation in the fact that we are still trying to find it.”
