More nausesting Is the lust for
power by individuals and pOliti

from wrack and ruin. q.
In this respect. or so we have
always thought. Congress was
created for tao main purposes:
u rule and guide the country.
and keep the power Of admins
tration on: Of the hands Of in
dividuals and majority groups.
Included in our original consti-
tUItiOnsl delegations were the
Legislative, Judiciary and Ex.
ecutiye divisions. each of which
was endowed and empowered
with specific duties.
Now il appears that :here are
those who would change all of
this. and assume the RESPONSE
bility Of all departments, or, re-
assign them to strongly allied
groups. under one dictatorial
lead.
Extra powers have been dele
gated TO presidents in the past,
during emergencies such as war.

an emergency now exists. and
that one man. surrounded by an
advisory group of college pro-
feSSOrs, is far more capable OF
conducting all three branches of
cur government than are the
duly elected and popularly
chosen representatives. : And
they still continue 10 open and
cicse their pathetic speeches
