There is not time to he hesitat-

solid as one unit back of our
great country for her greatest
good. This is our last fight for

We have arrived at the time
the Bible tells us is the time Of
the judgment of the nations.
We cannot escape our judgment,
for we are as much to blame as
England or any other nation for
the horrible mess mankind has
plunged the world INTO due to
our greed and interest system.
We turned down Gods eco
nomic plan given in the Bible
in the four books, viz, Numbers,
Exodus, Leviticus and Deute-
ronomy. Had we kept these
laws tstatutes) these terrible
times would not have come upon
ss. God promised 1t would not,
and God never breaks His word.
However, we are now reaping
the harvest we have sown, in
terrible whirlwind Of torture
and blood.
We must supply England with
arms and all ammunition TO
combat the dictators. The pity

Roosevelt with his square
deal enforced with the big
stick" and his castgations Of
"malefaetors Of great wealth
came into the picture. The first
Roosevelt brought a new con-
cept of the presidency and trans
lated that concept into action.
This revival of presidential
powers was dictated. as 1t was
In Incoln's time. by circum-
stances. In the domestic field
there were problems arising
out of the industrial and agri-
cultural revolutions. mal-dis-
tribufion of wealth and politi-
cal corruption. The United
States had become world
power without realizing the
responsibilities that position
involved. Congress again like
the congress of 1888 was be-
wildered. Naturally. IL fell IN
the aggressive Roosevelt to
take the bull by the horns.
He did not violate the proyi-
sion. NJ the constitution hut
he did a lot of things for
which the constitution did not
provide.
The square deal" theory
drew a large and enthusiastic
audience 10 the Roosevelt show.
Before II was over Woodrow
Wilson was writing his "consti-
tutional government In the Unit
ed States" in which ne said:
There can he no mistaking
the fact that we have grown
more and more inclined from
generation to generation to
look to the president rs the
unifying force of our complex
system, the leader of both of
his party and the nation"
After the Taft anti-climax to
the Roosevelt show Woodrow
Wilson had an opportunity to
try his theory. He formulated
the legislative program of his
administration. took his plat
form direct to congress instead
OF sending a message, and push
ed his program through. This
was the third instance where
congress was bewildered, repre-
scented special interests, and
quite willingly turned over to the
president the solution Of grave

There was a crisis which de-

Step by step the power and
prestige of the president ap-

times because An impotent con-
grsss passed the buck, but in the
history Of the United States no
president has been endowed by
law with the powers that will be
President Roosevelt's under the

may seem like a trend toward
dictatorship, there is reassur-
ance in this final paragraph Of
DR.. Commagers review of the
growth of presidential power;
No strong executive has
