Volume XXXVI October, 1941 NUinber 2 The President General's Message of government, our American democracy, will last only so long as the American people demand it and support it and compel their representatives in government to stick to their oath of office-to support it against all enemies, foreign and domestic. CoMPATRIOTS: And if you think I exaggerate in the statement that our democracy is threatened as much, if not more, at home than from abroad, just think a moment of fundamentals. Our We are told that we need unity in this land of ours and that is true. It is equally Constitution is grounded on a real separation of the powers of government-the executive true that we do not have unity, and since we must have it to defend the priceless heritage power, the legislative power, and the judicial power, each separate and independent. If of American democracy, what is wrong with us and how are we going to get it? that fundamental spirit of our constitutional form of government is lost, you no longer It is no wonder that our people are not united when they wake up one morning and have a democracy, but a dictatorship, and I do not care how benevolent it is. And do find that illustrious disciple of democracy Joe Stalin in bed with them. They know that not look to the courts to save you, unless you see that they remain an independent and Communism is just as deadly an enemy to their democracy as azism. They know that coordinate branch of the government, and the legislative body will offer no help unless for years the Communists, both in this country and abroad, have used directly and they exercise to the full the legislative power not only reposed in them but imposed on indirectly every means they could lay their hands on to undermine our democracy. You them. We need more men of independence and courage in the Congress-men who will cannot expect them to forget that a few weeks ago those of our citizens who are opposed fight for the maintenance of the coordinate branches of our constitutional government and to entering the war were much embarrassed because the Communists vociferously agreed not abdicate their rights and their duties. It is up to the people of this great democracy with them, and then overnight the party line changed, and the Communists just as to demand that kind of men in government and to get them. And to get men in govern­ vociferously lined up with those of our citizens who are in favor of entering the war, who ment who will think first of our country and the welfare of all, it is necessary for the are equally embarrassed. Neither have they forgotten their anger at the rape of Finland. people of the country to think first of their country and the welfare of all, and not to You cannot expect them to be united on the bare issue of helping Russia to defeat Finland, be simply a unit in a pressure group. the one country which honored its obligations to us after the World War, and you will I need give no bill of particulars to remind you that in recent years that fundamental have difficulty to get them united for a war to decide who is going to rule the Burma principle of our constitutional form of government has been weakened. We all know it, Road or the teeming millions of India. let us do something about it, and above all let us remember our job is to fight for it, What then, can you get them united on, and how are you going to do it? You can defend it, and preserve our American democracy and our American way of life. Yes, get them united to defend our American democracy against all enemies, foreign and Am erican way of life, because it is as sure as the night follows the day that political domestic. But, you will say there is a difference of opinion as to how far we should go or freedom will never survive the destruction of our system of free enterprise and the lodge­ how far it is necessary for us to go to defend our democracy. Alright, let that question ment in government of power over our every act and deed. What will it avail America be debated and decided in the democratic way. Let the issue of peace or war be debated if she gain the whole world and lose her own democracy? If, in the slogan now resurrected in the public forum and in the Congress, and all loyal Americans will be united to support with eight points instead of fourteen, we can make the whole world safe for democracy, the ultimate decision. Of course, it is impossible for the Congress to make war, but that is fine and dandy, but let us first make sure that we make democracy safe in America. remember that the Constitutional Convention changed the word "make" to "declare'', and it is the right and duty of the Congress to decide whether or not this nation shall go to war. You cannot get unity by any group, whether majority or minority, in office or out, telling others the way to unity is to follow them, and calling them names if they hesitate. No, the way to unity in a democracy is to practice democracy. And if we really believe in democracy, and are willing to fight for democracy, why not? The rules of President General. the game were written down over one hundred and fifty years ago. Before this is published, we will have celebrated Constitution Day-the anniversary of our charter for freedom and the plan on which we built this nation, defended it, and have received it with all its blessings from our forefathers. But we have taken too much for granted, we have acted as if the blood and sacrifices of our forefathers fixed our democracy and American way of life forever. That is all wrong, they brought it into being, they carried it on, and they handed it down to us, but they could not perpetuate it-that is the job of the living. Let us wake up and realize that our constitutional form
