eral and the elimination of the au-
thority to pass upon the legality Of
public expenditures in advance OF
payments and the reduction Of the
proposed general auditing office under
an appointee of the President to mere
reporting functions. In sum, the ira
ditional constitutional duty OF the
legislative branch of our Government
to control the expenditure of public
funds is endangered by the proposed
reorganization bill. We, too, then are
confronted by challenge arising from
the proposed centraliZation Of power,
which on the verdict of history always
leads to abuse Of power and the de-
privation Of the rights and liberties Of
the people.
Sees No Check.
In respect to the functions and
activities of the agencies which are
to be reorganized. there is an insid-
ious substitution OF minority tyranny
over majority rule, as pointed out
in my last column.
incidentally, there is grave doubt
as to what would happen to public
corporations like the T. v. A. since
the President in his handling OF the
present controversy has, according to
the newspaper accounts, adopted the
view that such public boards are to
be treated as the special domain of
the Executive and not of Congress.
At any rate. as was observed by
Arthur krock, under this broad grant
Of power which would exist up to the
1910 presidential campaign, the Pres
ident could gut any department until
it would amount to nothing but the
office OF a cabinet member"
From the standpoint of politics and
jurisprudence, the basic difference
between democracy and fasciSm is
over the issue of the separation of
powers. Having previously referred
to Prof. Loewenstein's article on Law
in the Third Reich" more recent
treatment in the last but one issue
of the Political Science Quarterly is
pertinent. Writing on "T'he Separa-
uon of Powers Under Democracy and
Fascism' DR.. Charles H. Wilson re-
affirms the principle laid down IN
our Federalist: The freedom of the
individual depends upon the separa-
ton OF public power" and that inde-
pendence of authority of administra-
tive agents makes for the greatest
security from abuse of power"
BY contrast to this in the National
Socialist and in the Fascist theory
only the state has powers and rights.
Accordingly, one OF the first acts OF
the Hitler government was the en-
abling act of April "a, 1893, which
effected what the Nazis called "a
complete reorganization of the obso-
lescent procedure of the legislative ma
chine" In speaking of freedom and
distribution of powers, Dr. Wilson
notes how National Socialism under
the claim of idealiSm has deliberately
eliminated the safeguards against the
misuse of public powers: such safe
guards, notably the separation of
powers. were historically too closely
associated with the despised liberal
tradition of freedom as the absence of
state interference. The refusal
to erect safeguards against the leaders
misuse of power is grounded on a
semi-religious belief in the integrity

Ladies Garment Workers To
Decide About Labor Unions

Pittsburgh Monday, but that it
also would defer for a time any de-
cision to return to the federation.
The ILGWU was suspended with
other CIO unions from the AFL in
August, 1886, but it is the only one
still technically affiliated with both
groups.
President David Dublnsky said
that he did not consider the unions
present problem one. of deciding
whether TO withdraw from the Clio,
but rather whether to join a new
and permanent organization to be
formed and named at Pittsburgh. He
said that when the convention was
called he regarded as ended the old
CLIO, a loosely linked group Of au-
tonomous unions functioning to-
gether without central authority.
He disclosed for the first time that
his union was withheld from the
CrO the five cents per member per
month tax since the convention call
was issued, pending the decision of
today's board meeting. The union
has paid no dues and taken no part
In ALL activities since Its suspen-
sion.
