THe-TR€€»lS KNOWN- By ITS ' FRtrjT- Little by little throughout the world people are submitting to rule by dictators. They are losing the freedom and responsible government that they fought for. They are losing them mostly through laziness. When a dictator controls the country it is at least possible to shove all problems and national headaches on to his shoulders. His laws may be resented, but he has to take all the responsibility. In countries that have gained democratic government with comparative ease, the people are also inclined to become lazy and to regard the government as some all-powerful, all wealthy machine which functions regularly without their attention and thought, if prodded now and then by letters of complaint to the newspapers. It is when a people becomes apathetic that they are in danger of losing their freedom. Among high school students throughout Canada, there is a great deal of political inertia ; a lack of knowledge and a lack of interest in the different political parties and their p latforms. It seems to be a rare adolescent who reads the newspaper editorials as attentively as the ' ' funnies or who will listen to a political speech when Rudy Vallee is on the air. Democracy does not advertise itself; it has no black or brown or red shirts, no banners nor marching, no frenzied shouting for the leader. It does not appeal through hero-worship or pageantry; but should it fail because of this lack? Canadian youth would be indignant if they were to lose the privilege of voting, but they do not seem to consider it as important even as the careful choice of their spring clothes. 17
