O'Connor said zone Of the dis
tinctive features" of American
government is a guarantee or
rights of minoritieS, adding that
honest differences of opinion
even within a party have contrib
uted greatly to the solution OF ma
tional problems, and up to recent
times it was never branded as
treason or anti this or that"
Current history records that
the first step of the dictator IS to
abolish the legislative branch
of government" he said. What
the American people are seriously
concerned about is this demand OF
the president for only 'yes-men'
in our parliament. They are ask
ing each other:
Well, what is the difference
between that and having no legls-
lative branch of government at

Does it not, either way, lead
inevitably to the same end-one-
man government"
O'Connor said that he believed
the people should be made con-
scious of the issue at once-it
that is the form of government
they desire, that is the form they
will get but if they submit to the
change, they should do 1t with
their eyes open"
DICTATORSHIP THREAT"
SEEN IN REFORMS
He defended his vote against
the reorganization bin, one of the
principal reasons for the presi-
dents attack on O'COnnor, on the
ground that "95 per cent OF our
people saw in that bill the threat
of a dictatorship"
O'Connor also challenged the
view. expressed in the editorial
which the president quoted, that
Mr.. Roosevelt is "the responsible
head of the government"
"A representative has no re-
sponsibility to the president" ne
said. "The responsibility of a rep
resentative is to the people whom
he represents and his country,
He added that the president had
raised the issue of the preTogatlVe
of voters to select their own rep
resentatives. and added:
AMERICANS SHOULD KNOW
OF PURGE POSSIBILITIES
Lets have it out. II the peo-
pie of the United States desire to
extend an invitation to a dictator
ship, we should know about it as
soon as possible. If a purge is
going to work in America, the
sooner we know it, the better.

THE shops are full of beautiful
new fabrics just crying to be
made up in smart new fashions
and these patterns make it very
easy to do your own sewing. When
you do, of course, you can have
many more clothes because it's SO
inexpensive to buy your own, fine
quality fabrics-and then your
clothes, and your daughters, too,
will have that distinctly made-to-
order, well-ftted look that's more
flattering and smart than any,
thing else.
For Large Women.
This afternoon dress is carefully
designed to look well on large fig
ures. The v-neck, cut in one with
the shoulders, makes your face
look less full. The short, ripping
sleeves minimize the size of your
forearm-and they're so pretty
and graceful, too. The skirt is
smooth over the hips, and the bod
ice has necessary bust fullness.
Here's a dress that will be your
favorite, when you make it up in
the prettiest silk crepe, georgette
or sheer wool that you can find.
For Slim SCHOOLGIRLS.
Your daughter will be delighted
with the grown-up, slick look of
this basque frock, and yet it's just
as simple as a schoolgirls dress
should be. This is the style that
growing girls, too thin for their
height, look very well in. The
high neckline covers up their col
lar bones, the puff sleeves and
fiaring skirt have a filling out eff
feet. This style is pretty in so
many fabrics-cotton, wool and
silk. Especially linen, Bingham,
challis, jersey and for dress-up,
taffeta.
