A government cor a system is only as good as the people who make it up. Young Nazis and Commiunists have shown that they are willinz to make tremenâ€" dous sacrifices for a system that is fundameritally wrong. People who live under a democratic system of govermâ€" ment should be willing to make simiâ€" tar sacrifices for a system essentially right.‘ 3 One major difference between totaliâ€" tarian types of government and demoâ€" cracy was that the dictatorship sacriâ€" ficed the individual to the state, Mr. Bradette pointed out. Under the demoâ€" oratic system there was nJ restriction of persona} freedom, perscnal advanceâ€" ment, free expression of religion. Demooracy was not a thing a person could define in so many words. It was a state of mind of the people, he said. It was not perfect. No human system could be perfect, but it was vastly superior to any other type of governâ€" ment that we had seen. ‘"Keep on agitating in the propeér way for improvement of democracy as We know it", Mr. Bradette said,.
