Show Can't Bell Democracy There The appalling poverty in most of the South American countrus appears to be a stumbling block to the development of democracy Under what they call democracy down there the poorer classes are in worse economic straits today than ever before and it is very difficult, says a writer to sell them any more democratic ideas. In all to many instances they have been left without education and have gone hungry for so long that they will be an easy prey to dictatorial tyranny. "It is useless," says the writer mentioned, to educate a child until it has had its breakfast. Free enterprise, as it works down there, and everywhere, is the finest thing in the world for the profiteering few, the exploiters, the strong and the shrewd and the cunning, but it is very hard on the struggling masses. |
