It was bought again at Gettysburg blood
1t was nearly lost in 1917 and 1918 and the years

We paid for democracy again during the depression
The American people went through the baptism of the

democracy and resolved to keep if all their

Now again we ask
WHAT PRICE DEMOCRACY?
%>AN we keep it and finance the whole world out OF

We are financing China and Argentina.
There are proposals that shall finance Britain and
Spain.
Can we keep our democratic freedom, drain our

The chances are thousand to one that if we enter
this world conflict shall emerge as dictatorship,
government that will be rgidy Socialist and Fascist
No price is too great to pay to preserve OUR

We can preserve our democracy and still extend limit

But if we step out of that circle into the of

For then it will no longer be question of what price

Suddenly lifted to riches by

THE answer to the dilemma brought about
by the present international situation, as
far as America is concerned is quite simple.
The power which will emerge from the
current weller as the strongest will become
the dominant force in the world, after the
war is over. In the interest of all mankind
as we'll as our own, it is desirable that we be
that power.
1t is difficult to foretell how the conflict
will terminate. 1t is no disparagement of the
leaders of Great Britain to say that their
claims that England is in the war to insure a
just and democratic world order need not be
taken at their fade value

Money Fixing
Will Block
U. S. Initiation
Fear Of Collapse Derided;
Insurance Is Sofe
BY PAUL MALLON

WASHINGTON. Jan. %. - II
w is now popular TO forecast
another world economic collapse
after the war.
Mr.. Roosevelt's arrangers are
even now starting 10 bank some
of the curves for the descent.
He already has laid down the
program preparing TO shift gov
eminent expenditures into pub
lie works and rivers and harbors
projects as soon as the defense
necessity is passed. But not
even the most optimistic expects
this program can do anything
more than slightly cushion the
drop.
In all its palmiest spending
years the New Deal public works
projects tbefore all these
, schools, post offices and court
houses were builD involved only
a fraction of the $4,000, 000,0
which Mr.. Roosevelt is now put
ting into a three-year rearma-
ment program.
The conclusion is therefore in
eScapable that further federal
manhandling of economics by
powerful controls over money,
prices, relief, spending and cred
its is likely to come for the post
war descent as well as the de-
tense boom at hand.
THE postwar decline is not
L likely to follow the tradi-
tional form of collapse (chaotic
disintegration) that the people
have come to expect. Things are
just not permitted to fail apart
strong arm governments
these days.
The Republicans attempted
during the last campaign to
dramatic the prospects to be
expected from the mounting fed
eral debt. by using the example
of insurance policies. In the en-
thusiasm of political debate, the
realities of the situation were
obscured by both sides. There
is, of course, little chance that
your insurance companies can
not pay off exactly the number
of dollars they have contracted
with you for many years to
come.
Modernized government with
all=its new powers can staxezeH
such disastrous consequences in
definitely-and will.

DUT the question fwhieh=the
- Democrats did not answer)
is how much those dollars are
going TO be worth. The real
value of the dollars you get
from insurance, labor. or other
wise, is how much they will buy
as against their value today or
when the policy was contracted.
That is where government steps
in. BY arbitrary fiat in fixing
prices and the value of cur
rency. for example. even such
bankrupt government as Hitler's
before the war was able to peg
all economic life within limits.
Consequently the worst you are
likely to get out of the post
war descent is not a traditional
collapse. but more centralized
controls in the federal govern
ment-more money fixing, more
price fixing.

COME nights when the moon is
~ bright the dogs around and
about get into the widest wran-
giles. usually starting with some
chance remark by one of them
which seemingly could be dis
missed as nothing but a HARM
less crack.
But on such nights-and they
seem TO come in cycles-their
tempers flame, and something
that the big black one says will
call for a snappy retort from a
little mutt. and the nondescript
up on the rock will put in his
two cents, and away they go for
hours.
II all has a ring of insincerity
when you try TO analyze it.
For when morning comes. and
they are out and around again,
the ancient amenities are OBJ
served as usual. without the
slightest reference the most
insulting remarks of few hours

DUT that kind of dictatorship
- does not flow from his office

=StHteS-ttfioWs- -hiS-Spe-
cific. constitutional Office as
commander-in-chief of our army
and navy.
1t was under this military
power and under no civil office

pated the slaves. He did so only
as an act of war. only in enemy
territory in actual rebellion and
his act was later confirmed by
Congress.
LIE DID so. and said that he
II did so. not in his capacity
as President-but in the execu-
ton of his office of commander

emphasized by the fact that
when. under such fierce fac
tional dogmatic urging as is now
flashing Mr.. Roosevelt, to force
this great powerful. peaceful
country into war. Lincoln at
tempted to Hitlerize the civil
processes of the United States
Constitution and send to concen-
tration camps. or by a star
chamber process, whoever OBJ
posed his war policies. authority
to do so was denied by the
Supreme Court.
There is no doubt that the
war powers" of Congress are
almost unlimited. They are like
the law of self-defense in homi-
eide. cases. They go to almost
any extent necessary to ma
tionai safety and are measured
only by the degree of danger
and the express prohibitions of
the Constitution-but even they
are limited by those express
prohibitions and even as to the
war powers of Congress, itself,
the court said:
I'VE by no means assert that
the Congress can establish and
apply the laws OF war where no
war has been declared or exists
WE ARE facing a very danger
W Gus question. 9Because wars
are frequently not declared" in
this mad modern world, does
that mean that the Constitution
can be set aside and that the
government can convert itself
into a dictatorship, either
through congressional or Jpresi-
dental action, deciding that
there is war when there is no
war?
The argument on one side of
the lease-lend bill is getting
pretty close to precisely that
urging.
