The issues that he has raised are
absolutely fundamental to the Amer

whether the new instruments OF

used as political instruments for the
aggrandizement Of further underlined
powers, whether they shall be ad-
ministered for the purposes for which
the representatives Of the people de-
signed them or for the punitive pur-
poses Of fanatical partisans: whether
they shall be used to advance q social
