outside. The greater was within.
War demanded a supreme, united
effort. The uses made of this
legitimate purpose were in
trinsically .illegitimate.
Opportunity was seized to con-
centrate authority with the
purpose of continuing that au-
thority after the war and in the
peace which followed for the
continuance of government by
Executive order and for the
continuance of submission to il.
In such plight the American
republic would have disappeared.
EREEDOM would not have
l. survived the clamping on of
this autocracy. And the autoc-
racy would never have been
willingly abandoned. The present
Chief Executive of the United
States has more arbitrary au-
thority than was ever dreamed
of by any president preceding
him. either in war or peace.
Congress is constantly re-
quired by its dominant party
fealties to add more and more
to this power. Congress has been
abdicating its functions and re-
firing from the scene an in
consequential agency whose
consent is foreordained and
whose remonstrance is feeble
and ineffective.
That has been the trend I'M
der the New Deal control Of
the legislative branch.
When the people went TO the
polls November 3 TO decide this
momentous issue they were
asked to give their consent TO
the processes which had been
depriving them of their BIRTH
right. II they had sustained un-
diminished the present party
control of the national legisla-
ture they would have been
understood as indorsing every
autocratic method, every un-
American practice. and every
-subversive- idea, and they would
have written their future in the
terms of such a government.
THE reelection Of the COM
l. placent congressman would
have been a complete indorse-
ment of the destructive pro-
cedure. With the consent of the
people thus obtained there would
have been no reason for any
further lip service 10 the doc
trines Of this republic.
God be praised the momentum
in the direction Of autocracy has
been stopped. The people, by
increasing the opposition in
Congress, have saved them
selves.
The only thing that stood be-
tween them and the gulf into
which they were running was
the representative system Of
government. That system they
have strengthened against the
autocracy and they have put
another memorable day in the
history of their successful fight
TO win and to preserve the
liberties without which no peo-
pie can survive self-respecting,
in life politically and economi-
cally endurable.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-11-05

THE long night Is ended and
l. from millions of hearts a
prayer of thanksgiving has
arisen. The people of this land
have turned back the most ter
rible threat which has con-
fronted them in their national
history. The victory at the polls
on Tuesday means that the last
remaining land of freedom will
remain free.
The republic had not been in
such peril since Washington was
at Valley Forge, since the
militia were gathering to resist
Burgoyne.
The crisis was graver than
any which this country had en-
countered even in the darkest
days of the Civil War. Our ma
ton survived the rebellion and
even the assassination of Lin
coin but it could not have
survived in freedom another
Democratic victory at the polls.
Most of those who voted the
Democratic ticket are beyond
all question sturdy Americans.
They voted for the party they
had always favored. the party
which, more often than not, their
fathers had favored before them.
EEW of those who cast Demo-
l. cratic votes realized that
their party had fallen completely
into the hands of a ruthless
combination Of political corrup-
tionists. Communists and men
Of great wealth who were
united for different purposes but
would have destroyed our coun-
try had they won the election.
A Democratic victory would
have been vote of confidence
in an administration which has
marched steadily toward the de-
struction of constitutional liberty
in this country.
The administration had sought
to destroy the independence of
it-had -sougnt-to
make of Congress a mere adj
junct of the Executive will. Only
the other day il proposed that
Congress give the Executive the
authority TO suspend federal
statutes.
THE Communist instinctively
l. and inevitably supported
these endeayers. Their aim was
to kill the free republic and
replace 1t with tyranny of
blood. The victory on Tuesday
was a victory of religion over
atheism, of morality and con-
science over RIGHTEOUSNESS, of
patriotism over foreign interfer-
ence and colonialism.
IT. the other supreme trials OF
the American people their gov
eminent led, them in their own
cause, the cause of right and
the cause Of liberty. In the issue
which the voters went 10 the
polls to decide November 3 their
government was opposed to the
liberties for which their fore
fathers had fought and for which
their governments had stood
foursquare.
The war had become two
dangers, the lesser of which was

4 MERICA has spoken in the
n true American way. Amer
leans. long disturbed by the
mounting danger. have voiced
their protest by ballot in the
manner provided by the Consti-
tuition. They have protested not
AGAINST WAR but AGAINST
THE CONDUCT OF THE WAR.
They have spoken their desire TO
fight the war efficiently and ef-
fectively no matter what the
sacrifice.
In effect. the people Of the
United States have leveled criti-
ciSm at their PRESIDENT, but
al the same time pledged sup
port TO their COMMANDMENTS
chief in any measures that will
speed victory.
The President and the admin
iStration cannot fail 10 sense the
diSpleaSure with the war effort
which is intrinsic in the nation
wide trend that has brushed so
many New Dealers out of office,
given their narrowest majorities
in 10 years, and changed the
complexion of the Congress.
DUT the President. as the
ID commander-in-chief of a
victory-bent nation, now has the
proof Of the ballot for his own
observation that the people Of
this country ARE OUT AHEAD
OF OFFICIAL WASHINGTON
in their burning desire TO win
the war.
That is the one and only issue
responsible for the trend.
The President has been given
a mandate in this as clear as the
mandates he received In the
years Of economic turbulence.
He has been told that the peo-
pie do not regard this as a New
Deal war. or a Democratic war,
or even a two-party war-but as
an AMERICAN war. in which
ALL other controversies must be
SUBORDINATED TO the end of
VICTORY.
His mandate reads:
Give us the best, toughest,
and brainiest men in America to
run this war. Give us leadership
without thought of partisanship,
and well back il up.
LET THE AXIS propagan-
dists strain as they will to find
comfort in such a mandate. 1T
is NOT THERE.
I EFT THEM UNDERSTAND
IL if it is within the compass of
their understsnding-that the
process of the free election. in

and assembly, has given to a ma

THERE Is a little time lac in
i my correspondence, hi I
wrote-toDoctor McPheeters ior
his version of the case.
Doctor McPheeters' reply l. az
hand today.
This is what he says:
THE facts related I'm your
letter tmeaning the carbon copy
Of Doctor Benefits letter which
was sent to him. are true and
accurate.
THE patient did go 10 the
Mayo Clinic. They made all
tests possible and many t,at
could have been avoided and
finally at the end OF six DAVIS
came TO the same conclusion
that Doctor Bennett did. They
did the operation Just as Doctor
Bennett had urged.
AT the operation they found
that she did have the malignant
tumor of the brain and that
nothing could be done. She did
not survive the operation.
statistics prove that she had
a $3.50 chance Of the tumor be-
ing a simple hemorrhage In a
brain cyst. and this could he
removed, with a complete re-
covery.
"Tt was for this purpose that
the operation was advised byl
Doctor Bennett and later done
by the Mayos.
II had n conference with Gov.
Harold Stassen the next day
after the patient was here.
reported the entire situation To
him, and he finally was able to
intervene and got the strike
settled. Up to this time they
had not permitted him to help
at all.
at seems 10 us that strikes
like this against the hospitals
when the lives Of patients are
at stake should not be permitted,
by legislation"
THE fact that the patient was
L doomed, as ascertained by
later developments, was not
known at the time of her arrival
at the Minneapolis hospital and
surely will not be permitted 10
confuse the case or abate the
enormity of the blockade.
Though the unfortunate woman
could not get well, the fact re-
mains that in her stricken con-
dition she was required TO travel
still farther when she had
already covered $50 miles.
If any further comment is
desired. roll your own.

BY WESTBROOK PEGLER

IN OCTOBER 5, I received a
carbon copy of a letter
from DR.. A. f. Bennett OF
Omaha to a third person re-
lating his experience with
strike at the University OF
M Minnesota Hospital. The
strikers. he said. were building
service workers.
The letter said:
IL was called October 4 rs q

MIMI, where I examined q
woman critically Ill with seri-
Gus brain disorder which neces-
STATED an emergency brain
operation OF very delicate
nature In order to save her life.
1--WE took her by ambulance
$50 miles to Minneapolis, ex-
pecting to admit her to tho
University Hospital.
THE surgeon selected met IN
and was ready and anxious tn
help the patient, but we were
unable to get the patient adj
mitted because Of the strike.
Because of the nature of tho
operation, IL could not be per-
formed successfully In any other
hospital In Minneapolis or st.
Paul.
GIN HER desperate condition
L we were then required to
take her by ambulance TO the
Mayo Clinic at Rochester.
This meant q delay Of ~
hours before obtaining proper
care which should have been
accomplished In six hours. 1t
may very well have cost this
patient her life.

This situation makes ono
wonder how much the American
public Is going to stand from
naughty labor organizations be-
fore calling halt.

unnecessary suffering to III pa
tients and endangering life, IL
