Lindsay, Labor Peer, Speaks on Democracy Of East, West Tonight

Relations between the United States and the Soviet Union will be treated in a new light tonight when Lord Lindsay of Birker, Labor Party representative recently elevated to the peerage in England, will speak on "Eastern and Western Conceptions of Democracy" at 8:15 o'clock in Emerson D under the auspices of the Government Department.

Since becoming Master of Balliol College, Oxford University, in 1924, Lord Lindsay has been active in turning the interest of young British scholars from the problems of the Empire to social problems, a contributing factor to the rise of the Labor Party to power, since Balliol, more than any other college in England, has been sending men to the top posts in the government from the time of the Victorian era.

Relatively new in the British government. Labor peers, though members of a legislative body having little apparent power, have great influence in presenting their party views to the House of Lords, where debates attract a good deal of attention.

Called by Professor William Y. Elliott "the most powerful philosopher of democracy today." Lord Lindsay led a movement to reverse the aristocratic tendencies of Balliol and to make the college "marked only by an aristocracy of intellect."
