Dictetors, American Model,
Haven't Been So Bad
We've Had Several, Among
Them, Abraham Lincoln
And Democracy Thrived
Under the Big Stick"
But Now-Whei OF The
Second Roosevelt
DRINCTPAL argument against
L election of President Roose-
welt for a third term was that
II was a step toward Dictator
ship. In the futile discussion OF
the aid-to- Britain bill-oppon-
ents Of the bill knew six months
ago that it was going to pass
the chief argument against the
bill was that it gave the presi-
dent all the powers of dlcta-
tor. Taking note of this, DR..
Henry Steel Commager. profess
sor Of history, Columbia univer-
sity. in an. article in The New
York Times magazine. asks the
question, Are we creating
dictator ?" The answer he
takes from a history of the pre-
sidency, and the story is one Of
prog ressive enhancement OF
prestige and power.
The history of the presidency
and the gradual requirement of
new powers begins, Of course,
with George Washington, but it
was jefferson who first exer-
cised authority not specifically
given the president by the con-
stitution. jefferson admitted as
much when he purchased Louisi-
ana but he pleaded military nee
essity. He assumed leadership
OF his party. chose the members
of his cabinet on party lines. but
because he was the strongest
man of his day he left the presi-
dency stronger than when he
took office
Though there were other con-
tributing factors, it was Jack
son who started the presidency
on the course which has created
the dictatorship DOGGY.
Jscksons critics denounced
him as King Andrew" and he
partly justified the title. He
defied the supreme court, a
crime which the present in
cumbent of the White House is
accused of attempting tn com
nit He had all the manners of a
dictator but the ends sought
were popular and he was recos-
nized as a national leader.
But II WINS Lincoln. tine
cOuntry's greatest advocate Of
democracy whom DIR. Conn
manager finds was the first
dictator. The Union WINS
divided and civil war threat
ened when he took office. Con-
gress was not in session and
he did not call a special ses-
sion until he had laid a firm
foundation for his dictator
ship. On his own authority ne
called out the militia and In
cOrpOrated II into the national
army; he raised volunteers,
prOcl med blockade,
pledged the credit of the ma
ton and suspended the writ
of habeas corpus.
Even when congress convened
Lincoln continued his Dictator
ship policies. and congress, like
the session of 1893. was 20 be-
wildsred that it was quite will
ing to let the president take the
responsibility Of solving serious
problems.
