dictators don t grow in thriving nations
It would be interesting to know just what red-hot
trail has been engaging the noses of the esteemed public
servants who have recently announced that they smell
the smell of an approaching dictator.
Senator Borah and Ambassador Dodd are the lat
est to join this outcry. Other men have sounded off be
fore them. And the common burden of the complaint
is that a dark man is about to cross out path, full of1
strategisms and devious notions, ready to abolish our
liberties the moment we happen to look the other way.
This might be convincing if it w’ere not for the fact
that the ordinary American is altogether too busy these
days to worry about it. And that fact, in itself, is a sure
fire defense against dictatorship.
For dictatorships are never brought about by some
one's secret plotting. The plotting takes place of course;
but it has to be built up on widespread public confusion,
alarm and desperation. If the people generally don’t'
feel that an abyss is yawning right in front of them,
ready to swallow them unless something drastic is done,
the plotters won’t get to first base.
What sort of conditions have we in the United Stat
es today?
The dark fears of recent years are gone. The coun
try is going back to work. Factory chimneys are smok
ing. the railroads are busy once more, mines are going
full blast, the unmusical noise of riveting hammers is
beginning to be heard again, the auto industry is work
ing full time trying to keep up with the public’s or
ders, farmers are making money and real estate sales
men are once again able to look their wives in the eye.
The ordinary American has things on his mind,
to be sure. He wmuld like to knowT whether the Athlet
iss can stick around the top of the American League.
He curious about Joe Louis’s next championship fight.
He is trying to decide w^here he’ll go on his vacation.
He is about to turn his old car in and get a new one,

and he hasn’t quite made up his mind which make to sel
ect.
When men’s minds are running in those channels
the country is as safe from dictators as the most ardent
republican could ask.
A prosperous people never had a revolution and
never will. The time to worry,—the only time to worry
—is when prosperity has vanished and people are be
ginning to fear that it will never come back again.
Then, as in the early 1930’s, demagogues like Long,
Coughlin and Townsend get a hearing. Desperate peo
ple are willing to listen to desperate men talk of des
perate curealls; busy, hopeful peope are not, and never
will be.
As ong as we are riding the recovery wave we have
nothing whatever to fear from men with dictatorial
designs.
KEEPING MUNITIONS HOME
Senator Gerald P. Nve and Congressman Hamilton
Fish, Jr., seem to have the idea that if the scheme of
embarging munitions shipments to warring nations is
sound in small does, it ought to be equally sound in big
doses.
They have introduced a bill in congress according
ly, which would ban all munitions shipments—not on
ly in time of war, but in time of peace as well. The on
ly exceptions would be shipments to nations on the Am
erican continent “engaged in war against a non-Ameri
can state or states.’’
There is a great deal of logic in this idea. We are
now selling munitions abroad in so many quarters, that,
if we get into another war in the near future, some Am
erican boys will certainly be killed by munitions of Am
erican manufacture. There is much to be said for a pro
posal to take us out of the munitions-exporting business
permanently, in peace and war alike.—Seattle Star.
Generally, if the fellow who likes to speak his
mind would only stop with that he wouldn’t have much
to say.
A Cleveland lad’s absences were found to coincide
with the Indian baseball club’s home dates, proving
that youth still must have its inning.
