Gen. Moseley, who on his retire.
ment September 80 was reprimand-
ed by the War Department for a
statement criticizing the adminis-
tration, termed the current politico-
economic situation "the greatest ma
tional emergency that has confront
ed us since the birth of the Nation. "
Calling upon the people to put
forth "the cream of the parties" in
1910 for a coalition government, the
officer declared:
''Dictatorships have come as a re-
suit of coup d'etat or a revolution
on the part of a vigorous minority
or when leader rides into power by
taking advantage of national
emergency. But never before
has dictatorship been actually
bought by Government dollars. -
Many States whose political leaders
declaim loudeSt about State rights
have traded those rights away for
Government subsidy. Thus we do
not need to work. about the coming
