Adler Than Dictator

President Roosevelt the other day sent
an appeal to the governors of 10 states,
urging ratification of the child labor
amendment; and the sending of this
appeal helps to illustrate the peculiar
difficulty under which the leader of a
democracy has to work. Here we have a
president who holds office by one of the
most sweeping landslides in all history.
His party has majority in Washington
and in the 48 gubernatorial offices that is
fairly topheavy The measure he is urg-
ing is an integral part OF his program.
And yet the most he can do is appeal to
the governors. He cannot command, he
cannot pull strings that will make the
law 60 through automatically; he has to
ask the governors to ask their legislatures
to act, and both governors and legislatures
have perfect right to turn him down II
they feel like it. That, of course is just
the way it should be- Anything less than
that would not be democracy. But if
you have ever felt that it takes an i'm
mensely able man to be dictator, you
might reflect that it takes much ADLER
man to head democracy.
For the dictator simply decides what
lis policy is to be and issues the neces-
sary orders to put it into effect. The
head of democracy cannot order; he
must persuade. He must have both the
, insight to know the people that those
ceSires can best be filled by the specific
program he is advancing.
In the long run, of course, dictator
will be thrown out if he does not come
fairly close to expressing the will of his
people But the dictator can silence OPP
position and stop criticism. When he
sets out to persuade, there is no one TO
get up the next day and knock down all
his arguments. He has the first word
and the last word. There is an interest
ing contrast in the way Germany and
England set about rearming.
Hitler took office, said bluntly, 'We are
going to rearm" and that was that.
Stanley Baldwin, premier of England,
recognized at once that England must
rearm, also; but could he say what Hitler
did and sit back in contented satisfaction?
He could not First he must show the
people of England that rearmament was
necessary. He must show them out in
the open, so to speak, knowing that If he
presented his case too sensationally, he
might create international complications.
He must spend two or three years argu-
ing, explaining, and revealing; only after
that could he begin to do what Hitler had
been able to do right at the start. The
plain fact is that the dictator occupies a
bed of roses compared with the chief of
democracy. It's a whole lot easier to
command than it is to persuade.

More to Come

Until the two other plans of federal
government reorganization are presented
to the American people, it is necessary to
withhold too much praise or criticism OF
that form of retrenchment offered by
President Franklin D. Roosevelt as his
contemplated course of action along these
lines. The President, of course, by be-
ng first with his reorganization plan
;teals some of the thunder from the other
acts However, they may be very similar
to his as the material from which these
two separate reports will be written is the
same in all cases. 1t was supplied by
special fact-finding agency.
The reorganization of the federal gov
eminent has been in the making for a
good many years. Practically all of the
executives who occupied the White House
in recent years recognized it's need, but
for fear of failure or other reasons did not
progress to the point where they de-
manded or asked the sweeping reforms
that are included in the Roosevelt mes
sage. Not that he plans to overthrow
any branch of our government. He is
hopeful that adoption of his scheme will
more firmly establish the three separate
functions of our national government -
executive, judicial, and legislative.
1t would be good thing for every in
terested American citizen to study the
Presidents message on reorganization.
There are some new ideas proposed, most
of them pretty good and planned to put
the country on real businesslike basis.
Oftentimes business like methods don't
work with government. But there are
too many sensible suggestions in the re-
organization plan to throw the whole
thing overheard on the supposition that
oil can't work. We are hopeful that
when it comes time for Congress to lend
Is aid, 1t will put through good over
hauling bill In the interests of both eff
cheney and economy.

That real estate dealers in Connecticut
are prepared to carry the tax-limitation
fight to the Legislature is readily seen in
the increasing number of local sessions
that are being held by various groups.
What with the Genera Assembly in the
process of organization the numerous To-
cal real estate associations in Connecti-
cut are doing their own organizing. We
don't doubt but what when it comes time
to present bills and to argue them before
committees the real estate dealers will be
we'll fortified with ammunition and men.
Right now it seems to be the opinion that
tax limit of Is mills may be asked of the
Legislature. This has drawn fire from
New Haven city officials, but we haven't
seen any other town or city officers
quoted on the matter. While the limit OF
Is mills on real estate might aid the
property owner, we wonder If it might
not shift additional taxes to some other
source of income, such as gasoline.

The death Of Martin johnson yester-
day is grim reminder that death Is
never romantic, always inevitable. Who
would imagine that Martin Johnson, the
intrepid adventurer and most famous Of
the Photographic hunters of big game
would meet his death in an airplane crash
in this, his native land Call 1t the irony
Of fate or what you will the end Of his
life comes with a suddenneSs and abrupt
ness that does not permit the proper clos
ing to book that has constantly been
studded with high adventure.
From his early boyhood Johnson was
wanderer, not a vagabond. He always
yearned for the far-away places and being
possessed of just more than vivid mag
nation he managed to fulfill all his early
ambitions. Even in his teens he ran
away from home and worked his way to
Liverpool, England, and back. He ac-
companied Jack London and Mrs. Lon
don to the South Sea Isles in forty-foot
sailboat, acting as photographer and
cook. That was the start of his "Safari"
and it opened to him life that many
men sigh for, but few achieve.
Even when he married boyhood
sweetheart he did not settle down to the
normal life of domesticity, but ably sec
onded and assisted by his wife unfolded
to the world many Of the secrets of the
animal kingdoms. His many expeditions
into regions, usually summed by man,
earned him worldwide renown and also
enabled him to show to the world the
magnificent animal pictures for which
he is so justly famous. Johnson was not
a hunter for the mere sport of it, When
he killed, it was out of necessity, either
for food or to save his life.
The results of his expeditions today
are priceless. The world will mourn his
death and regret that he was not spared
to carry on the glorious work. Latest re-
ports indicate that his wife will recover
from injuries she received in the same
crash. Life for her, we imagine, will be
empty when her adventurer-loving hus-
band, by whose side she spent 26 years
in visiting strange lands and photograph
ing wild animals in their native habitats,
is gone. It's a tragic and deplorable end
to really great career.

Selected Poem
THE SKATER

(Fanny De Groot Hastings in the Christian
Science Monitor0
She patterns all the ice In curves
And lovely rounded figure Fights.
No angled hexagram preserves
The imprint of her flying skates.
Light as a gull that skins to make
Its salty sallies and addresses
Upon the surface of this lake
She wheels and circles and progresses.
Unerringly aware she veers,
Forming a perfect balanced arc,
There where widening crack appears,
Steel upon steel striking a spark.
Possessed Of not wing or pinion
She challenges the clouds to race,
And takes unlimited dominion
Over the laws of time and space.
SO rhythmical is she and feet
One scarce detects two feet In motion
Upon this dark and polished sheet
OF glass that holds her poised devotion.
She pauses with little whir
AS Of bird that will not linger,
And all she needs to steady her
Is but single outstretched finger.

that recalls the late Senatog Jim
Couzens. He's about Couzens'

Couzens were old friends, both
made millions in the Ford COM

Editor of The Democrat:
My congratulations to John
Brodie, president Of the Waterbury
Chapter Of the Connecticut Merit
System Association, for attempting
to enlighten me ON the objective Of
his organization and incidentally
taking me 10 task with the challenge
to put UP or shut up. will over
look the fact that 1t took MIR. Brodie
nearly month to answer me. My
little opinion on the merits or de-
merits Of the movement were ex-
pressed In letter to the Democrat
on December IA. Mr.. Brodie only
recently heard about 1t. That doesn't
speak well for the publicity or in
telligence department OF the asso-
citation. wonder II Mr.. Brodie has
yet heard about my unknown friend.
who signed himself or herself
"R. r. j." in letter to the Demo-
crat on December II. That party
really went to town on the Merit
group. What he said represents my
sentiments.
I still cling to the opinion and
events, are strengthening them daily,
that half OF the membership IN the
local chapter wouldn't be enrolled
as advocates OF the merit system
If the republican party were In
power and Juicy plums, political Jobs.
were ready to be plucked. Some OF
the boys now members Of the asso-
citation are as Mr.. Brodie admits on
the state payroll and are paying
cash" to hold their Jobs. Some peo-
pie call the cash, contributions to
the political war chest. They must
etherize their conscience to shout
merit and then kick in-<in the old
fashioned day. notice Mr.. Brodie
shouts that Governor Cross Is an
advocate Of the merit system: In
fact, Just another member Of the
state association on the payroll.
Well, the governor deserves all he Is
being paid and more too, for he is
doing dandy job. But, Mr.. Brodte,
when the governor shouts about the
merit system take his remarks with
a smile. 1t Is the well known Cross
idea Of a little Joke. He Is practical
politician and places his plunls
where they will be the greatest
amount OF good - for Governor
Cross and the democratic party IN
the order named. Look over some
Of his appointments. 1t wasn't Q
question Of ability or merit with HIS
Excellency on such occasions. He
made the appointments with an eye
| to the future and as usual, proved
an excellent diagnoser or guesser.
Good luck to the merit boys. but ]
would hesitate to trust many OF
them when a good political job y
dangled. After all the boys are only

Postwar Troubles !
Paralleled in Past
Nv RRIICE CATION /

War, bankruptcy, and universal
human suffering produce the same
effect now that they did centuries
ago: The bloody and ,inonstrous
things that have happened since
1918 have parallels In the past
parallels equally bloody and mon
strous, and due to the same sort
of causes.

luton" Viking: $3.7S).
Daughter Of the great Italian
banking family, Catherine went to
Paris in the early 1905 as bride Of
the French king. Colorless and
rather indecisive, she nevertheless
became the real ruler Of France
through long years, dying with sim
lister fame as the instigator Of the
st. Bartholomew massacre.
That massacre grew out Of the
rivalry between French Catholics
and French Huguenots and that,
IN turn, says Mr.. Roeder, was q
by-product Of the aftermath Of
war. France fought Spain and
was overwhelmingly beaten. The
government was bankrupt, the peo-
pie ware ruined. the nation as q
whole was Inundated, miserable
and hopeless.
Into this situation came q re-
ligious quarrel--a cloak, Mr.. Roeder
insists, for economic issues. A rev.
