I think of but one man in our history, who> hav ing such power, voluntarily relinquish ed i?fc. He was George Washington. The Continental Congress made him Dic tator in 1778. After the Revolution ary War he could have been King of America, if his common sense had not been stronger than, his personal am bition. H story is full of examples of men who, attaining a measure of dictato rial power, were not satisfied, but con tinued to reach for and seize more power. Usually they were assassinated but it took yeans, even centuries, for their countries to recover from the effects of their dictatorships. Dictatorships do not arise over night. They ar? the end results of years of economic unrest and social disorder. Usually they result from the failure of the previous government to perform the two ^unctions which any govern ment entitled to survive must perform I do no' believe we we in dinger of a dictatorship in America as iong as our government maintains or ter ant administe. s justice. COMMUNISM . . and Dictators The modern dictatorships began with tho Russian Communists. A .-mall group of Manxian socialists, under the leade?.?\ip of Leu'.n and TroUky organized the Soldieis an I bailors Union, and ousted the popular democ racy which Kerensk) had begun to organize to replace the old C/'irist re gime. It vis a seizure of p-wer by force of arms, and the Coi> uranist Party has retained it.s power by force, Stalin, the present Dictator ot Russia, has no official title but that of Secre tary of i he Communist Partv, What scared the list of the world when the Communists got control of Russia, #us their threat to under mine tho governments of ?'l othei nations fry secretly organising the "have-nots"' to rise and seiz-5 the prop erty of the ?'haves."
