European Satellites Lacking in
Background of Democratic Rule

The countries of Eastern Eu

a new period
in their politi
cal evolution.

in Hungary

In some of the countries which
have been under Red rule since
the end of World War II.
If that happens, a new ques
tion will arise: What sort of gov
ernments will replace the Com
munist dictatorships.
They would not necessarily
all become real democracies.
It is a notable fact that in

none of the countries concerned
is there any deep background
of democratic self-rule.
Hungary a One-Time Kingdom
Before World War II. Albania,
Bulgaria and Romania were
monarchies. So was Yugoslavia,
now under Communist rule
though no longer a Russian Sat
ellite. Hungary was a kingdom with
out a king, under the rule of
Adm. Nicholas Horthy as reg
ent. Its government became in
creasingly authoritarian along
Fascist lines.
East Germany, after some
years as part of the unstable
Weimar Republic, became a part
of Hitler's Nazi dictatorship.
Poland and Czechoslovakia
were republics. Poland, how
ever, became a virtual dictator
ship. Czechoslovakia alone had
a stable democratic government.
Countries Were Monarchies
The lack of deep democratic
background is emphasized when
it is remembered that until the
Neighbors Seeking
Help to Build Home
Neighbors of Mrs. Pearl Bo
liou who lives on Ponderosa St.,
just off Gibson rd.. Central
Point, are seeking help and
funds to help finish construc
tion of a home for Mrs. Boliou.
Mrs. Boliou's home and pos
sessions were destroyed in a fire
last April, and she has been liv
ing in a trailer since then. Neigh
bors have been donating time to
build her a new home with most
ly donated material, but bad
weather has set in, and they wish
to complete the house as soon as
possible.
Neighbors said the Rogue Val
ley State Bank has offered to set
up a Boliou Building fund for
which donations in any amount
will be accepted. Donations for
labor may be made by contact

Mrs. Boliou is about 73 years
old.
end of World War I every one
of the countries concerned was
a monarchy or part of a mon
archy. It is pretty certain that if some
of the satellite countries freed
themselves of Communist rule
they would turn into dictator
ships of one kind or another.
Those which did not would be
likely to follow the multi-party
system of parliamentary govern
ment which has made politics so
turbulent in France.
It is a curious part of the Eu
ropean political picture that,
aside from Switzerland, most of
the countries which are really
stable are monarchies The
Netherlands, Denmark, Norway,
Sweden, Belgium and Great
Britain, which does not regard
itself as part of Europe.
It is curious also that Ameri
cans, who regard themselves as
citizens of a new country, sel
dom stop to think that politic
ally the United States is an old
one.
Of the great powers of Eu
rope, Britain alone has a demo
cratic constitutional system old
er than that of the United States.
France's birth as a republic fol
lowed that of America. Until
World War I, Russia and Ger
many were autocratic monar
chies. Italy became a republic
only after World War II.
The people of Eastern Europe
have still to acquire, by experi
ence, the political education
which is necessary for demo
cratic self-rule.
It is likely to take them a
long time. But, at least, their
freedom from the ugly pestilence
of Communism would be a gi
gantic step forward.
