MR.BALDWIN'SSURVZY.

"Democracy,OldandNew,"wasthe textoftheDr.JohnCliffordlecture deliveredbyMr.Baldwinattheannual conferenceoftheBrotherhoodMovementatCoventrylastmonth.ThefollowingresumeappearedintheLondon 'Times"weeklyedition:-

Mr.Baldwinspokeofthepermanent elementsbeneaththeappearancesof change.Bygoneidealswhichoncehad provedpowerfulneverdied.Itwas saidbyJohnAddingtonSymondsthat thediscoveryofAmericacouldbetracedtothere-discoveryoftheGreek language.Itwouldnotbebeyondthe powersofanundergraduateofaverage intelligencetoshowthatmanyofthe ideaswhichwereagitatingIndianreformersto-dayweretraceabletoAthens viaLondonandOxfordandCambridge.

Mr.Baldwinthenturnedtosomeof thepoliticaltendenciesofourownday. To-daythefutureofpopulargovernmentwassaidbyitsfriendsandits enemiestobeindoubt.Ithadlost groundinsomanycountriesrecently thatoncemoreweweretoldthatthere wasnoescapefromthecircularmovementoftyrannyoligarchy,democracy andbacktotyrannyagain.

Thesetwocurrentsofdiscontenthad swollentosuchvolumeastooverwhelmdemocracyinsomeEuropean countries.

InEnglandalsotherewasacurrent ofdiscontentrunning,butitwasnot vetverystrong,andthoughitwas growinghedidnotthinkitwaslikely toboiltipandsubmergetheParliamentaryinstitutionswithwhichwe werefamiliar.Thepositionwasbeing watchedbyourneighbourswithmuch interest.Ourpoliticalcapacityfor avoidingupheavals,ourgiftfor"animatedmoderation"(inBagehot's phrase),hadlongbeenenviedbyour Continentalneighbours."Theywill

findonceagain,Iventuretoprophesy thatweshallgettogetherandmodify presentlyourinstitutionsandourpracicestosuitthenewconditions.We arenogoodatplanningahead,butwe haveagiftforimprovisingandcompromising."

Wehadwitnessedremarkable growthsandchangesintheindustrial structureofthecountryinthelast 100years;thesechangeshadproceededfarmorerapidlythanhadthe changesinthemachineryofgovernment,andthelag,asitwascalled, didundoubtedlyaccountfornotalittleofthedisappointmentwithdemocracywhichprevailed.

Themachineryofdemocracyhad beentrieduptoapoint.Thepeople hadtastedpower.Futthehopesheld outwhenlawswereframedwerenot alwaysrealisedwhenlawswerepassed.

"Iamassuredbythosewhosework liescloselyamongstoururbanandindustrialpopulations*saidMr.Baldwin,"thatthereisneedtoexaminethe effectsoftheprovisionofthesocial servicesbytheState.Wehavewit. nessedavastdevelopmentofprotectiveserviceslikeinsuranceandconstructiveserviceslikeeducation.Iam toldthatthereisatleastreasonto question:-(a)Whethertheexpansion ofprotectiveservicesalongthelines atpresentbeingfollowedisfreeing menforactivityorisencouraginginertia;(b)whether-theconstructive servicesarebeingdevelopedalongthe lineswhichencouragethefullvariety, initiativeandself-exertion;(c)whether thesenseofcorporateresponsibility, withoutwhichthegodlifecanhardly be.wonforanycommunity,isbeing fosteredbytheexpansionofpublic socialservicesalongthelinesatpresentbeingfollowed."

Mr.Baldwinconcluded:"Itwasnaturalthatmenshouldturn totheStateforrelieffromvasteconomicdistr..sses,andthereismuchthe Statehasdonetomitigatemisfortune.
