STS ► FOR HIS REMOVAL Stockholder’s Action Brings Prompt Answer From Pollings Controller, Removal of Bert Mcßride as receiver for the International Note and Mortgage Company or appointment of a co-receiver, will be resisted vigorously, Mcßride said today. The action was asked in a position filed by Grant Sanders, a stockholder, before Judge Linn D. Hay of Superior Court Friday, The petition charged that Mcßride could not equitably act as receiver for the various Dollings Interests and subsidiaries because they were in some instances antagonistic. “No information was asked from myself or Harold Taylor, my attorney, before the suit was filed,” McBride said. "It would have been given gladly had it been asked.” The t>est hope of the International Note and Mortgage Company to obtain payment of its claims against the Dollings interests rests in reorganization of the various subsidiary companies and not in liquidation, Mcßride said. “To liquidate would bring certain loss to stockholders and creditors," he said. ■LLOYD GEORGE PREDICTS REVOLT

(Continued From Page 1) war, their faces are as faces of lions and their feet are swift as the roes upon the mountains —not beautiful to the honorable gentlemen at this moment.” There you have the whole attitude of the Fascist in this historical deed of the greatest modern example of the type—Oliver Cromwell —described sympathetically by the greatest exponent and advocate of the doctrine —Thomas Carlyle. More Starts in Russia The present movement started not in Italy, but In Russia. The first great Fascist of today is not Mussolini, but Lenin. He was the first to substitute force for popular election in a democratic state. Bolshevism was not a revolt against Czarlsm and Russian grand dukes. It was a revolution aimed at the overthrow of another revolution, which had already overthrown the ancient regime. Russia was a republic, the Czar was a prisoner, the last surviving grand duke was in exile, the land of Russia had been confiscated and distributed among the peasants before Lenin took thand in the government. He rolled against the new parliamentary regime of which Kerensky, the Socialist, was chief. He grew contemptuous of the Volgas of rhetoric which flowed from the first Russian revolution. Endless talk which never froze, but which was nevertheless not navigable. But Lenin had just as great a contempt for the will of the people as Mussolini. He, therefore, enrolled his followers into an army which swept away the newly created parl'amentary system and substituted for it a Cromwellian regime, based on organized force. >

Soviet System is Farce The soviet system of election is a farce. No man who is opposed to Bolshevism has a chance of appearing at the central assembly. Lenin does not attempt to conceal his opinion that the people are not fit to govern. He does not believe in democracy and he strangled democratic experiment ere it has left its cradle. Bolshevism is not a gigantic plundering of propertied classes for the benefit of the impecunious proletariat. That Is not an exhaustive, even if it is an accurate definition of its doctrines. It is all that but it is much more. It teaches the proletariat to sacrifice everything for the Bolshevik state and its adherents readily sacrifice life, comfort, liberty, at the behest of the soviet leaders. All the miscalculations with regard to Bolshevism have come from the failure to recognize this dominant factor in composition. It is the spirit that Animates fascism in Italy, and as Wong as it oontlnues, Bolshevism will rule Russia and fascism will govern Italy. But they are both fatal to democratic government. Lenin and Mussolini alike despise parliamentarism. The Bolshevik attitude toward demo cratlc Institutions -is stated unqulvocally by Trotski in his famous reply to Kautsky. the champion of democratic socialism: "The path of Socialist ideas, which is visible through all deviations and even betrayais, foreshadows no other outcome but this: To throw democracy aside and replace it by the mechanism of the proletariat at the moment when the latter is strong enough to carry out such a task.” Methods Are Alike Mussolini does not deny that, although the objects of Bolshevism and fascism are different, their methods have much in common. A recent election, based on universal suffrage, gave him thirty-six followers In a parliament of 400 members. Under the parliamentary system, he hardly counted as a force. He was far from being the choice of the democracy. He then struck a Cromwellian attitude and Indulged in Cromwellian phraseology. But for the sacrifice of his followers in the great war, Italy would have been the vassal of the central powers. Their valor preserved Italian liberties, their voices must therefore be paramount in determining how the Italy they had preserved should be governed. They could not any longer permit the country for which they Bad fought and for which six hundred thousand of their comrades had lost their lives to be misgoverned by a succession of feeble and incompetent administrations. If the old-established political machines were too skilfully handled to enable fascism to secure a majority In parliament, so much

the worse for parliament. The “prating” must, at any cost, be stopped. Talkers must “make room for better men,” so a hundred thousand armed Fascists march on Rome to depose parliamentarism. Mussolini’s attitude towards parliament is best given in his own words, as summarised in a reliable report: “The party was accused of despising parliament. This was not the case. Parliament had nearly ceased to have any importance, owing to the death wound dealt It by syndicalism and journalism. Under the new electoral law which he intended to give the country, parliament would once more become a living body. Fascism was still strong enough by itself and, said the prime minister, ‘I do not intend to sell my birthright for a mess of pottage—the collaboration of the dregs of Italian political life ’ If collaboration was to be offered. It must be wholehearted and uncritical. ‘I do not deny the people.’ ”

No Mistaken Meaning There can be no mistaking the meaning of these words. The people may exercise their right to murmur in and through parliament, but that limited right must "not be exaggerated." Fascism was, “strong enough in itself,” whatever parliament chose to do or not to do. This is the real Cromwellian attitude. Spain now follows the example of Russia. Italy and Bulgaria. The existing Spanish parliament was only recently elected on a basis of universal suffrage. There was a Liberal government in power which, judged according to all constitutional usage, enjoyed the confidence of that parliament. It did not, however, enjoy the confidence of all classes In the country. What party government does? But in this case, opposition was powerfully entrenched in the army command. That is also the case in other lands, and that fact, once upon a time, proved to be a serious menace to the life of the third republic In France. It was saved by Clemenceuu, Waldeck, Rousseau, Reinach, Zola, and many another man who believed in liberty. In Spain, the army has successfully arrogated to itself the functions of a parliamentary majority. It has now formed a government. The principle of popular sovereignty expressed by parliamentary Institutions is set aside in favor of the Cromwellian principle that if major generals are dissatisfied with the working of these institutions they can at any moment step in to regulate them. What Cmm try Next? Which will be the next country? These coups have been attempted in Germany by Communists and reactionaries in their turn, but so far with no success. The enemies of democracy are still on the match —perhaps on the pounce. If things go badly for Germany, they will in all probability spring their conspiracies. Will they prevail? If so, which of them? Much depends on the answer which the coming months will give to these questions. The spreading reaction against democracy is a serious movement, which .eeds careful watching in all coun tries. It has the sympathy of extremists on the left as well as on the right. Only a few years ago the British trade unions ware temporarily captivated by the idea and called It

"direct action.” The extreme Conservative wing today do not conceal their enthusiasm for Mussolini and his methods. The dle-hardlsm which brought the present government Into the world Is zealously Fascist in sympathy, outlook and more and more In expression. Conservatism and constitutionalism were formerly lnterchangable terms. But that was In the days when the majority of adults had no voice in the working of the constitution. It is no longer so. An increasing number of Conservatives are looking toward unconstitutional methods for security against changes which democracy may soon demand. It is a dangerous hope to cherish. For this weapon is at hand for the Communist as well as the Conservative to handle. If General Prime de Riveira saved it In Spain, Lenin snatched it In Russia and his follow ers are still wielding It with merciless power. Democracy Ha Faults Democracy has its faults. No doubt they were at their worst in Italy when Mussolini rose. But the great lesson of war Is that democratic Institutions bear a prolonged national strain where autocracy breaks down. The nations that snapped the axle were Russia first, then Bulgaria (a dictatorship bom of a coup d’etat), then Turkey, then Austria, then Germany—all of them autocratic governments. They fell according to the degree of their autocracy. The nations that stood the strain without a break were the democratically governed countries of Britain, France and Italy- The United States of America only came in late and therefore It would be hardly fair to quote them as an example. Democratic institutions are good or bad, according to the quality of the people from whom they draw their power. No stream can ascend above its source. If the people receive sound education, they can he trusted with the destinies of their country. When an educated community errs, it is generally on the side of caution. Bob Lowe's famous advice, given after the earning of Disraeli’s Franchise Act half a century ago, still holds good. "Let us now educate our masters.”
