The Plight of
Democracy
The believers in democracy have hail lo
c'M their loins lately to keep the faith. De
mocracy has sui'i'cred a set-hack on the inter
national front. The Brussels conference fizzled
out because the representatives of democrat ie
countries were not willing to pull together. All
t'.ey wanted to do was talk. And that's all
they did. Even with their own trade inter
ests perilously at stake in face of Japan's con
quest, they could not agree even to exert the
passive force of a boycott on Japan and thus
aid China.
In the interval while the Brussels fiasco
was in progress, or regress, the one man gov
ernments staged n model lesson in co-operation
by clinching the German, Italian, Japanese
alliance.
Talking and lack of co-operation also
characterized the national front in America.
The United States congress met for a special
session. The occasion for the emergency get
together was such minor problems as a nation-wide
business recession, a wage and
hour bill, tax revision, and a menacing farm
problem. The members of the country's sen
ior legislative body spent better than a week
listening to a filibuster, admittedly just talk
ing, by eight of its members on the com
paratively unimportant matter of an anti
lynchlng bill.
Besides talking and lack of co-operation, the
present congress is beset by a complexity in
the problems it faces which gives pause. Can
a democratic form of government resolve
theso difficulties? Can a number of men in
stead of one man ever agree on a method of
resolving the paradox of balancing the na
tional budget in the face of a needed tax re
vision calling for a reduction of levies on cor
porate surpluses and in face of a needed farm
program calling for additional revenue?
To make matters worse both the tax prob
lem and the farm are complicated by other
considerations than that of finance. The
business recession is being blamed on the
supposed stifling effect of the administra
tion's taxation policy. There is no shred of
evidence substantiating this view. It is a
guess. And business is more than on its toes
to take advantage of the guess to get its tax
burden lightened. ,
The complexity of the farjn problem can
probably be best envisioned by the fact that
the senate committee and the house commit
tee seem to have decidedly different views iw
to how it should be resolved. Nor is there
agreement about the senate's plan which
seems to lie preferred. The president would
hold the cost down to $500,01)0,000, but this
amount is not enough to accomplish anything
without using compulsion on the farmers. And
coercion of any kind is winced at.
Other intricacies still considered very
much moot points arc: Adjustment contracts,
binding farmers to abide by the government's
production regulations; the provision for stor
ing surpluses in line with the ever normal
granary plan; the parity payments' providing
for making up the difference between market
prices and a parity price level; and the mar
keting quotas to be set for overproduction
years. .
On top of these technical aspects of the
problem, comes the disturbing voice of mi
nority farm groups who are not satisfied tint
Uncle Sam should confine himself to corn,
wheat, cotton, tobacco, and rice crops. The
men from Wisconsin are very definite about
their demands for dairy farmers.
Such n complex state of affairs puts our
congressmen on the spot. And it puts de
mocracy on the spot. Our legislators must act,
and that quickly and wisely. If they do not,
our people are going to begin considering, if
not clammering for, a centralization of
power. We will begin toying with one-man
governments that waste little time just talk
ing, need not concern themselves over co-operation,
and alw.-.ys manage to do something,
at least, no matter how complex the situation.
