so against Japan's, and he failed to understand how the 
latter country had agreed to sign it. He invidiously 
compared Japan to China, stating that the latter had a 
great tradition and a true code of morality.
 
 
Towards the end of our conversation he referred 
again to the President and said that he was the last 
exponent of democracy, which the world really longed for 
and must return to. Its form would not be and should 
not be the parliamentary form of the last century. 
Parliaments there must be as a forum for the people,
but parliaments that would delegate to the executive 
sufficient discretionary power to cope adequately with 
the problems of the times, at the same time holding the 
executive responsible for the results of such grants of 
power. He remarked that the war had at least one good 
result so far, that it had given British Labor interests 
a position of strong influence in the governing of the 
Empire from which they could never be dislodged. The 
present British Labor leaders had shown themselves 
moderate and practical and their accession to greater 
influence was a thing to be welcomed.
