Just as these fathers drew to-
gether toward ample community au-
thority to make the nation and still
preserve the freedom on those who
compose it, so must we guard against
the supreme Capitalization Of power
at home and the superstate for the
world. More, we must combat the
menace in the growing assumption
that the state must support the peo-
pie, for just government is merely
the guaranty to the people of the
right and the opportunity of that
people to support themselves.
The one outstanding danger of to-

tasks or the duties of the eight

as the central power Of preservation

today by high government official.

this official were:
That private letters which disap-
peared from a suit 1ase in a promi-
nent Chicago club have been used in
press broadsides against individuals
connected with the offer.
That Mr.. Ford offered the govern
ment $150,OOO.0OO for a 1O0-year
lease on the two dams and nitrate
plant now under construction at
Muscle Shoals, Ala, only after he
had been sold" by an admintstra-
ton official. 1t was said he had no
idea of bidding on the plant until
he was approached by the COVER
ment salesman"
Because of these attacks it was
said today that a high administra-
ton official might shortly make
public statement defending the con-
duct of the negotiations leading up

MED.
