RIGHT TO CHANGE GOV

Editor The Times: Only July

The Times printed the Declara-
ton ofIndependence on its front
page with the American flag
flying before it. l read as much
of the Declaration as was visi-
Bile and was indeed confused.
My eyes saw and my mind abb

men are created equal and
That TO secure these rights

ments are instituted" Then I
read on-"That whenever any
form of government becomes
destructive OF these ends, 1t is
the right of the people to alter
or to abolish it, and to insu-
tute new government"
That last portion startled me.
1t surprised me TO know that
1t was legal TO change our gov
eminent. Mr.. Dies says 1t isn't.
Modern literature accuses you Of
"subversiveness' to advocate
the same principles as did the
Declaration. Well, now, il

Keeping the New Deal
Record Clear
Southern Democrat Takes
A Look Back
II Takes Some Wind
From Critics Sails
LIE may be just a dyed-in-the-
IL wool Southern Democrat
and deeply preludiced on behalf
of the national administration
but there is a lot Of good sense
and fair argument in a state
ment that Hampton ?. Fuller, Of
South Carolina, brought to his
fellow members in the house OF
representatives a few days ago.
Il is one of those Test we for
get things that sometimes helps
to lift the clouds which obscure
fundamental issues. 1t will be
particularly interesting at this
time because New Deal spend
ing has heen made one of the
paramount issues Of the national
campaign. Here it is:
Roosevelt baiters are saying.
'If that fellow Roosevelt hadn't
spent so much money, we'd be
all right now. But look at us.
We've got to spend billions
for defense when we already
are up TO our necks in debt"
Most criticisms are easy to
present. The habitual critic just
lets his mind run along in ac-
customed channels. He need not
think A subject through. His
task is the simple one of fault
finding.
But let's try to think this
spending matter through. In
1882 and in 1888 this nation was
in economic distress. That's the
kind Of situation from which
revolution develops. Revolution
is not characteristic of people

who have enough to eat, sde-
quate shelter. and certain other
requirements for tolerable ex-
istence.
The Russian revolution grew
from distress. The Nazi reyo-
luton grew from distress. Maj
or movements against democ-
racy today have resulted. In
part anyway, from the failure
of democracy to work; that il
from its failure to supply the
m in m II m requirements for
contentment.
Back in 1888. and thereabout.
nearly everyone was saving that
democracy wasn't working. but
that democracy must be made to
work. The New Deal plunged
boldly in and tried to make it
work. The president seemed TO
see, almost Immediately after
taking office in 1888. that he
was dealing not with a depres-
sion merely but with the maxi
ings Of revolution.
In other nations revolution
developed. In this nation revo-
luton has not developed. On
the contrary, this nation stands
today as the last remaining
great nation in which democ-
racy is likely to survive. Per-
haps the big spending advo-
Gated by that fellow" has had
something to do with the sur
vival of democracy and of lib
erty in the United States.
or course, money has been
wasted. There was no adequate
experience for disbursing such
sums as the government of tina
United States spent for defense
against domestic distress and its
consequences. And some of the
spending has been tainted by a
too-close contact with low poll
tics.
There were. too. Passama-
quoddy and the Florida ship
canal and quite lot of minor
"boondoggling' (minor as to in
dividual projects" but not mi
nor in aggregate cost. But
policies must be, or should be,
appraised by major accomplish
ments, or by major failures, not
by minor slips.
Democracy in the United
States has not failed. Would
II have failed il the New Deal
had remained narrowly thrifty
and conserved public dollars
without much regard for the
general distress, and for tho
revolutionary rumblings of the
early 1905? No one can an
swer and prove his answer to
he correct. What would have
happened under different con-
ditions is an opinion, not a
proyeable fact.
Right here the critic interposes
this:
Yes, but why didn't Roose-
welt spend all those billions for
armament
The answer is simple. The
conduct of democratic represent
tative government is determined
by the popular will, or by popu-
lar Incidence concerning public
matters. Only since the begin
ming of 1910 have the people Of
the United States realized the
necessity for great fighting
forces. A proposal of billions for
defense a few years ago would
have created popular storm Of
Indignation.
