For proof of this they ask us to take a good look at what is happening-~in our world. They claim that the demo- .cratic countries have made a terrible mess of things and cite Sweden as a classical example with its high rate of illegimitacy, divorce, alcoholism and suicide. They point out what Russia and China and Cuba have been doing in spreading their power and influence; they quote achievements in education, in science, in the development of a Spartan-like morality. Such people are defeatists jumping to conclusions without serious considera- tion of the true facts. While it is perfeetly true that author- itarian forms of government have great achievements to their credit, it is also true that such achievements have been bought at a terrible price.

Whether or not the Ontario Municipal Board is under- staffed we do not know, but certainly these long delays in decisions fre- quently place municipal councils in awkward positions. any such Markham resolution as the delay in some action regarding the annexation here is inexcusable. Cer- tainly the wheels of the Municipal Board grind slowly, and this time of year they practically halt. It is necessary that there be some body to be watch-dog over the muni- cipalities. However, this watch-dog should: not become a detriment to progress and lack of quick action can be detrimental in some cases.
