TODAY «nd DICTATORS . . * social unrest ' It is always dangerous to give one man unrestricted power over the lives and fortunes of other men. I think of but one man in our history who, having such power, voluntarily relinquished it. He was George Washington. The Continental Congress made him Dictator in 1778. After the Rev olutionary War he could have been King of America if his com mon-sense had not been stronger than his personal ambition. History is full of examples of men who, attaining a measure of dictatorial power, were not satis fied but continued to reach for and seize more power. Usually they were assassinated, but it took years, even centuries, for their countries to recover from the ef fects of their dictatorships. Dictators do not arise over night. They are the end results of years of economic unrest and so cial disorder. Usually they result from the failure of the previous government to perform the two functions which any government entitled to survive must perform. I do not believe we are in danger of a dictatorship in America as long as our government maintains order and administers justice. « ♦ ♦ COMMUNISM . and Dictators The modern dictatorships be gan with the Russian Commun ists. A small group of Marxian so cialists under the leadership of Lenin and Trotzky, organized the Soldiers and Sailors Union, and ousted the popular democracy which Kerensky had begun to or ganize to replace the old Czarist regime. It was a seizure of pow er by force. Stalin, the present Dictator of Russia, has no offic ial title but that of Secretary of the Communist Party. What scared the rest of the world when the Communists got control of Russia was their threat to undermine the governments of all other nations by secretly or ganizing the "have-nots" to rise and seize the property of the "haves." Russians are "soft-pedaling" that line of talk lately, and have relaxed some of the rigorous dis cipline whereby the people were terrorized into subjection. But it still is not very safe in Russia for anyone to criticize the Commun ist Party or refuse to obey its or ders. * * * FASCISM . . from communism* Fascism began in Italy as a means of suppressing communism. Communist doctrines had taken root in the army, and the whole government service, and among workers, who not only organized "sit-down" strikes but took pos session of factories and tried to run them. Money was sacrce, prices were rising, and general disorer prevailed,'with the Ita''«\n government doing nothing effec tive about it. A young newspaper editor of Milan, Benito Mussolini, began or ganizing loyal young Italians se cretly into a group called "Fas cisti," from the Latin word "fas ces" maning a bundle of rods. It took three full years to build an organization strong enough to be effective. Then, in October, 1922, the Fascists served notice on the Italian government that unless it proved, within 48 hours that it possessed authority over its own employees, the Fascist militia would march on Rome. It was an almost bloodless af fair, the fascist march from Na ples to Rome. Two or three Fas cisti and a few rioting Commun ists were killed. The government resigned and the King of Italy sent for Mussolini and asked him to form a new government. He has been the head of the govern ment ever since, and the Dictator of Italy. • « • MUSSOLINI . . menaces peace Mussolini started out with a well-thought-out scheme to re store law and order and put Italy on its economic feet. One of his first acts was to send a financial' commission to America, which negotiated a reduction in Xaly's war debt to us, and obtained a hundred-million dollar govern ment loan from American bank ers. I was in Italy after Musso lini had been in power two years, and was amazed at the evidences of economic progress and the general contentment of the peo ple. Everybody was busy and cheerful, and the beggars who used to infest Italian cities had vanished. Everybody, howeyer, had to order his life and business according to rules from above. Mussolini was not content to be boss of Italy. Power bred the de sire for more power. Hfe wants now to be the boss of the whole Mediterranean, to restore the old Roman Empire with himself as Caesar.

' •' i i / There are very few folks who pay cash down for an automobile, electric refriger ator, washing machine, radio, or other necessities of life.

Why not use the same convenient, sensible plan to buy clothing for yourself and family? If you feel you can't spare the money to pay cash, buy this easy way. McDaniel's Easy Payment Plan was created to make it easy for you to buy. All you have to do is select what you want, pay one-third down, and the balance in easy weekly payments, plus small carrying charge. What could be easier or more con venient?

His National Socialist party had been gathering strength for several years. Its opportunity came in 1931, when the financial crash caused by the failure of the Credit Anstalt of Vienna, started a pop ular uprising fostered by Com munists.

In Germany, as in Poland. Hun gary and Turkey, where dictators also rule, people and governments surrendered their powers to one man under the pressure of eco nomic distress and social disor der with which the existing gov ernments were unable to cope. The one-man power at once began to make his power secure by force, and terrorism. We haven't reached that stage in America, as yet.
