DICTATORS . . . social sorest
It is always dangwous U> give one
mon unrestricted power over the lives,
and fortunes of other men. 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
