shey continued to look quiically at
each other for a moment or so, and
changed the subject.
Will the People Learn?
In an article in the Readers Digest
for September, 1943, Hattown w.
Summers, Congressman from Texas,
asks: "Why is it b. that repre-
sentative government is whitening be-
fore our eyes?"
He shows that while our whole
political system is based on the prin-
ciple of local self government, the
people themselves are destroying
that system by their continual de-
mands for Federal Intervention in
the problems of every community and
class, and by the ever-growing prac-
tices of passing these problems to
Washington. Congress, not being able
to handle such an impossible bur-
den, creates bureaus and bureaucrats.
The bureaucrats tissue what are
called 'directives,' which actually
have the force of law. One bureau
crat in the Securities & Exchange
Commission said recently: We do
make the law. This order supersedes
any laws opposed to it,
"By making the units of state gov
ernment financially dependent on the
Federal government, that government
is acquiring the power to control the
Askov American., 1943-09-30

units Of state government. When this
is fully consummated, the sovereign
ty of state governments will be iqui-
dated.
'The men who are trying to drive
us toward government by bureau
cracy understand this. The chief ad-
wiser of the National Resources Plan
ming board, recently abolished by
Congress, prophesied crisply:
Congress will surrender to the
Administration the power to tax 3. :.
Congress will appropriate huge sums
of money, will surrender its power
of directing when and how the money
will be spent. Other extraordinary
powers, such as to effect great so
cial reforms, will be delegated to the
Administration, which will retain
most, if not all, of its wartime pow
ers.'
''The remedy and only rem
edy - is to send all these non-Fed-
eral functions back where they be-
long: To the state and local COM
munities, where they can be handled
upon scale within the comprehen-
sion of the limited mind of man.
National socialism may be de-
scribed as government by bureaucra-
cy. If we think Hitler's system is bet
ter than ours, we should have the
honesty to say so instead of copying
while we denounee it."

tee is holding hearings on the
Wheeler bill to defer the drafting OF
fathers and want to pass on to my
readers an account of colloquy that
took place between the Senator from
Montana, and Major General Her
shey, national director of Selective
Service, which appeared in the New
York Herald Tribune.
Senator Wheeler: Now, General
Hershey, we have 100000 men reach
ing the age of 18 and being taken into
service each month";
General Hershey: That is correct
Senator Wheeler, but you must re-
member that 20 per cent of that
100000 nave already enlisted by the
time they reach 18 and are not avail
able to U.S.
Senator Wheeler: We'll then, we
have 10000 men of 18 available every
month";
General Hershey: Not exactly
Senator, because 13 per cent of those
men will have been granted agricul-
ture defermentS or are working in
defense plants
Senator Wheeler: Then there are
roughly $1,000 to 10000 men of that
age going in every month
General Hershey: No, because 20
per cent are rejected

thing is certain, Russia will emerge
from the war the strongest power
in Europe or Asia. She has already
announced that she is going to annex
half of Poland, the four Baltic repub-
lies, and a part, or all of Finland
1t wouldn't be surprising if she dips
into the Balkans and helps herself
to the oil fields of Roumania and
such ports on the Black Sea and the
Mediterranean as she covets. There
are well posted individuals in WASH
ington who fear that Russia will also
demand an ice-free port on the At
lantic which would come from Nor
way. Can Britain and America afford
to acquiesce in such program? De-
cidedly not, but if we are signatories
with Russia to policy of collabora-
ton we will have to acquiesce and
give her program our blessing.
I have before me copy of the
agreement entered into between Brit
ain and Japan, dated August IL, 1905,
Article II of which reads as follows:
Should either of the high con-
tracing parties be involved in war
in defense of its territorial rights OF
special interests, the other party will
at once come to the assistance of its
ally, and both parties will conduct a
war in common and make peace in
mutual agreement with any power
or powers involved in such war"
1t is not drawing upon the imag-
ination to conclude that in the event
we decide to 60 in with Russia we
will have to sign a somewhat SIM
liar agreement which would obligate
us to enter a future war Gin de-
fense of its territorial rights***"
Why all this haste to commit Amer
lea to a foreign policy that is both
foreign and alien to our history and
traditions? At least, it would seem
that the matter can safely rest until
the boys get back from the hell-holes
of the Solomons, New Guinea, North
Africa, Italy and the other foreign
places where they have sprinkled the
soil with their blood. Surely, they
have earned the right to have q
voice in determining what the fu-
ture foreign policy of their country
shall be.
Of course, every descent citizen
wants to outlaw war and it can and
will be done providing Russia is
agreeable To date Stain hasn't by
so much as a nod indicated how he
feels about it. We had better FIND
out what Mr.. Stain thinks before we
sign on the dotted line. My guess is
that Stain will not be ready to talk
until he has grabbed all the terri
tory that his heart is set on.
AS 1 see the whole picture, there
are two things that come first - wir
the war and set our economic house
in order so there will be jobs for the
returning veterans and home mar
ket for the products of our farms anC
factories.
