THE NEED is AUToCRACY

The substance of a speech by Senator Bridges
partisan Republican, is that graft and corruption
peryade IVA and if the condition he describes IS
true it is worse than was to be expected
A government entering upon such schemes as
IVA ought to be autocratc. If the United States
is to be socialized state the power of "fuehrer
should be conferred upon honest man like Presl-
dent Roosevelt, so that when man like Chalrmna
Morgan of IVA becomes a disturber of the pro-
gram or some other person seems to be stealing
the autocrat,. or fuehrer, could have him shot or
hanged.
Social planning" cannot be carried out effici-
emily in representative democracy, much the less
in pure democracy that President Roosevelt
would like to have. Our president is proceeding
on the beautiful but preposterous theory that there
are no smart thieves in Tennessee who, in multfar-
ious and submerged ramifcations of an enterprise
like IVA can hide their tracks and get away with
murder. ,..
In totaltarian states like Germany, Russia and
Italy it is expedient and necessary to iquidate
many persons, some of them "nice" persons.
Whatever the result of an investigation of IVA
by any agency, the side of the controversy that
loses will set up continuing uproar and vociferous
riot impeding and endangering progress.
If we are to have Twas it is idiotic not to have
a fuehrer, and the sooner Mr.. Roosevelt be made
one the better for all concerned. The present no.
ton that most good and honest Democrats, or Re-
publicans, or Communists, allowed to stick their
noses within foot of trough overlooking with
rich cream will stay good and honest is nonsense.
8 President Roosevelt does not wish to be fuehrer,
but the friends of IVA should force that honor
and responsibility upon him at once.--Charleston

committing political suicide.
Until quite lately it seemed that
the administration, far from being
in a position to inflict reprisals on
anyone for desertion on the Court
and other issues, would have its
hands full in merely trying to
save the skins of the faithful.
Specific endorsements of Sena-
tors Alben Barley of Kentucky,
Claude Pepper of Florida and
Ryan. Duffy of Wisconsin-all in
spite of solemn assurances that the
White House las usual" was keep
ing its hands off the primaries
tended to emphasize the impress
sion that the New Deal was on
the defensive. .. ..-.~
There was a period of moaning
and crashing of teeth over the
paucity of strong New Dealish
candidates who might have
chance of beating such senators az

The situation actually hasn't

that Roosevelt is out to 90 every
thing he possibly can to see that
, it does. The first overt move was
the announcement by Congress
man Otha Wearin of Iowa from
the White House steps that he
would seek the senatorial seat OF
Guy M. Gillette. Wearin is a pro-
gressive, liberal, a New Dealer

VIASHINGTON-The concentra-
w ton of interest on the forth
coming primaries and elections
which lately has been shown by
Mr.. Roosevelt and his friends is
partly traceable to a fear that
1893. rather than l940, may turn
out to be the last stand of the New
Deal.
If F D. R. is to control the
Democratic party when it under
takes to nominate his successor
more than two years hence he is
going to need something that can
be hailed as a personal victory
next November.
To achieve that, he must iden-
tify himself with the campaign
through certain definite issues.
Moreover, he must assure the re-
turn to Office of loyal New
Dealers" in Congress and, if pos
sible, the defeat of conservative
Democrats who have fought
Roosevelt policies. -.
A year ago, when the battle
over the Supreme Court reorgani-
cation plan was on, there, was
plenty of talk about punishment
and reprisal. Roosevelt himself
inspired much of it. But the vot-
ers who had returned him to office
in 1886 never did get excited
about that issue and the President
learned to his. disappointment that
he couldn't get them to punish
senators simply because he re-
sented their disagreement with
him on that one point. At one
time he had been almost con-
WINGED that any senator who OPP
posed him on the Court issue was

SHOULD WEAR BADGES

Any citizen of South Carolina knows soldier
or sailor when he sees one. The soldier and the
sailor wear uniforms. The uniform is a pledge
that the soldier and the sailor are here to proect
the citizen. 81.
1t is more than that 1t is pledge that the cit-
zen has protection from the soldier and sailor. 1t
means that when the man in uniform transgresses
the limit of his rigidly defined powers he will be in
trouble.
Were captain or sergeant stationed at Fort
Moultrie to come into Charleston on the day of a
primary election and busy himself for the election
or defeat of a candidate for mayor he would have
to answer for it. ..
The suggestion will not be taken seriously
mores the pity-but it would enhance the safety
of the people of South Carolina if all the civilian
officers of the federal government were required
to wear uniforms. These civilian office-hoders
