Dowell ; | Public Opinion | (By B. RALPH SUMMERS) Throughout the world today the theory of demociatic government beng challenged. Hitler scoffs al the “foolish masses.” His AXS~ partner, Mussolini, loudly proclaims that facism has “thrown on the dump heap” the “lifeless theories” of government by democratic prin- ciple The challenge to democratic prin- ciples raises two basic questions The first 1s whether democracy 8 the best kind of government. There is abundant evidence, that the over- whelming majority of Americans believe it to be. The traditions of personal liberty, of free speech, {ree assembly, and public debate, are firmly rooted in this nation that the idea of rule by dictatohship | wholly repulsive to us The second basic question is how democracy can be made more effici- ent A government must be alert it must adapt itself to changing conditions, {t must seek always Ww mprove and refine [ts techniques One of the chief advantages claim- ed for the totalitarian form of gov ernment is its administrative efll- ciency.

If he could know those views at all times he could lezislate more often in the interest of the whole country. 1 think we can agree that in a government by the consent of the governed there must be a gieady communication between the elected representative of the people and the people them- selves One of the new instruments for | determining public opinion is the “cross-section survey.” Ciross-sec- | Hen surveys do not place their chief reliance upon numbers the technique {3 based cn the fact that a few thousand votes correctly se- lected will faithfully reflect the {views of an electorate of millions of voters.
