efficiency feels that the honors should be passed around to head the red cross in cardston and district is a sig nal honor and anyone cherishing veteran william betts addresses rotary club rather an outstanding address was given to the cardston ro tarians on tuesday the 12th mr williams betts employee of the blood indian agency and a ve teran of the world war from 1914 to 1918 spending his entire time overseas was the speaker he emphasized his opinion that this war is to be won by do ing and not by flag waving that europe and the european coun tries were far behind the demo cracies in development of gov ernment that has taken place in fact he thinks from 100 to 150 year and that all continental european countries do not appear ' to value individual freedom as we do nor have they the same • mental conception of govern ments and individual liberty some have said that the last war was unnecessary but he felt sure that it was not fought in vain and had it not occurred ' then it would have eventually come and we would not have ' been as well prepared for the 1939 conflict it was really our ' customs in america that we lab eled democracy and nothing in his opinion was stationary not even democray for we either : progress or we go back democ • racy is now reaching out for oth isr progressive developments through the actions of the people ' in the various democracies the sacred rights of properties was the basis of freedom of our fa thers a hundred years ago and for this they fought and died we sometimes have called the lead ers of the french revolution leaders of democracy but now we look back in history and feel they are murderers and rascals i ask the question have we got j to go back to a state supreme ' where the individual is nothing [ and the state is everything he ( hoped not but under democra cy which the present generation have not earned but inherited it is found that often people are careless and lazy and sometimes quibbling and not appreciating the liberties that they enjoy ev j ery person must be willing to dol his or her best no matter where we are or what we have get ev 1 ery person in this empire mustl do his or her utmost to win this war and then after it is over we look for a more equal distribution of opportunity and worldly goods for every person when a people have lost their capacity to govern themselves then democracy is on the road to destruction — for instance france in three years had 27 different governments and sev en different governments in a period of five months this was nonsense foolishness and des truction democracy is founded on a two-party system and when these parties are multiplied the democracy form of government begins to wane he pointed out that progress was in the air and no individual i can stand in the way and he in ' stanced england where during [ the past year the heads of the • army and navy and government were all replaced he felt that la bour was ln the ascendancy and would be the ruling class of great britain within possibly a year the united states election was a proof of the change that is i taking plare for it was really the haves versus the have nots and the have nots won chan | ges are coming slaughter will be i much greater in this war than in the last war i fear the flag waver he said and nationality isan accident of birth he looked over the voters list at cardston today and thought 500 women should be working ln red cross instead of the 150 that are working the speech was forcefull and the rotarians much enjoyed mi betts efforts greater movie
