ual; in the case of Labor Unions
we have not done quite so well;
but as far as the federal govern
ment is concerned, we have fail
ed miserably.
Article X of the Bill of Rights
reads: ''The powers not delegat-
ed to the United States by the
Constitution, nor prohibited by
it to the States, are reserved to
the States respectively, or to
the people" Because we have
not insisted that our politicians
obey this law and because the
individual States have not
jealously guarded their rights,
we have seen the federal govern
ment usurp power after power
that in a Republic rightfully be-
longs to the individual States.
Undoubtedly the saddest thing
about this is that when State
surrenders a power, its ability
to do that thing departs. Thus,
the State is left weaker to do its
remaining duties. Through this
process, therefore, we are des-
troying the States and as they
become weaker and weaker,
more and more power is being
taken to Washington. This has
resulted in. a bureaucracy to
handle the machinery of govern
ment, a bureaucracy that is no
longer susceptible to popular
control. Of necessity we have
had to delegate to this bureau
cracy, the power to make rules
which have the force of law, to
construe these rules and to en-
force them. These are all the
powers that any king has ever
had.
AS the concentration of pow

er in Washington increases the
number of employees feeding at
the public trough also increases,
the while they become less and
less supervised. Unless we start
Immediately to decentralize this
power at Washington by looping
off the tentacles of this bureau
cratic octopus, our Republic is
doomed. We either must decen-
traliZe or make up our minds
that we are to be ruled by a
great central bureaucracy which
nobody can control. A bureau
cratic system Of government is
as alien to a Republic, is as sus-
ceptible to tyranny and corrup-
ton, and is impossible of popu-
lar control as any other system
of government, including even
that of Russia.
If the time has come when the
responsibilities and difficulties
of government exceed the ca
pacity of the American people to
discharge them, then we are in
for a change in the form of our
government No thinking Amer
ican wishes this to happen, but
we are allowing it to happen. TIC
prevent it, powers must be TAX
en- from Washington and restor-
ed to the smaller units of gov
ernment. These smaller units
must once again flex their mus
, cleS and become strong; they
must govern again.
The federal government has g
job to do, but it can not do a
general job of government, that
is, if we are to remain the Re-
public under which we grew
strong and made ourselves the
greatest nation in all world his
tory.

The -
American Way
BUREAUCRATIC OCTOPUS
BY GEORGE PECK

Bearing in mind that these
United States of America were
intended to be a Republic-not
DeInocracy-what then is the
duty of our federal government
at Washington? And what linn
itations did the Constitution and
the Bill of Rights place upon
the federal government?
The primary function or duty
of the federal government is to
protect private citizens against
oppression resulting from the
abuse of power, including that
which destroys competition and
interferes with equality of Op-
portunity. Concentration of pow
er, whether it be vested in bus
mess, in Labor Unions or in
government, is opposed to the
philosophy and the continuation
J. of a republican form of govern
: ment.
Over the years we nave lald
down safeguards to prevent un-
bridled concentration of power
in business (the Clayton and
Sherman Acts). We have made
a first step toward averting con-
centration of despotic power ir
Labor Unions (the Taft-Hartley
Act). We drew up the Constitu-
ton in 1877 and added the Bill
of Rights in 1871 to prohibit con-
centration of power in the fed
eral government. In the case OF
business we have succeeded fair
Iu well in nrntectinp the indiYid.

Dr.. Reissig Denounces
Bu|gar Charge Against
u. s, British Clergy

Charges that IL American and
British clergymen concerned with
administering the church relief
program in Europe acted as Con
Gact" men in the spying activities
charged against Bulgarian Prot
estant clergymen was termed "in-
credible" today by DR.. Frederick
E. Reissig, executive secretary Of
the Washington Federation Of
Chucnes.
DR.. Reissig, who served as pub
lie relations head for the first
World Council of Churches meet
ing held in Amsterdam last sum-
mer, explained he knew two OF
the so-called contact" men as a
result of his work in Geneva,
Switzerland, last year. They are
DR.. j. Hutchinson Cockburn, for
mer moderator of the Church Of
Scotland, and the Rev. Robert
Tobias of Lyons, Kans.
DR.. Cockburn is big, fatherly,
spiritual type of man. who never
gave the impression of being in
terested fundamentally in the po-
litical happenings of any country
in which he was responsible Tor
administering church relief" DR..
Reissig said. CDR. Cockburn was
administrator Of the reconStruc-
ton department for the relief and
rebuilding of churches in II coun-
tries of Europe) He had a great
heart for the work OF helping the
churches in these countries"
Tobias of High Ideals.
The 3O-year- old Mr.. Tobias was
praised by DR.. Reissig as "one OF
the really outstanding young min
isters" of the United States.
.+5aMr. Tobias is a young minister
of very high ideals and would
never stoop to an intrigue OF any
kind" the Washington church
leader declared of the man who
served under him last summer.
MIR. Tobias was later a country
secretary for the World Council.
This meant he had as his respon-
sibility the welfare Of Yugoslavia,
Bulgaria and several other coun-
tries.
DR.. Reissig explained the World
Council served as trustee Of funds
from America and elsewhere for
church relief in the II European
countries. The European nations
we're divided among men who were
supposed to be authorities on the
situation of the church in these
countries. They would make Pc
riodic visits into the countries to
which they we're assigned and con-
tact the secretary of every coun-
try about relief and reconstruction.
The administrators would be
taken over the particular country
to review the churches and the
whole spiritual life Of the nation.
