^SEIZURE
Wars result from thirst for
^ power. Men try lo gain sway
jCover other men. Progressively
, Ihey seek to widen their domin
I ion as strength permits. They
jh take resources by violence so
- Ihey can hold what authority they
Nmay have obtained without
j force. The rapid rise of Adolph j
, and Benito from obscure politi
cal bosses to dictatorship ill us
pirates how totalitarianism grows.
f
Tyrants rise to power by dom>
j inating other men. At first the
process is peaceful. Always there
is a preliminary period of build
ing up influence without the use
of strong-arm tactics. Those are
the days when, with reasonable
foresight, violence can be fore
stalled. World peace, when it
comes, could be preserved by
keeping too much power out of
the hands of too few men; sim
ple but hard to do.
WE BUILD WRONG
Thirst for power is not con
fined to the eastern hemisphere;
people in America have it. All of
us know such men personally.
The United States” tower of cen
■ tralized government built in late

but dangerous pattern. I do not
charge that the structure was be-1
gun with a fixed aim to create a
dictatorship but we are erecting
what dictators use for climbing
to absolute monarchy.
Not to care who else gets hurt,
so long as ‘‘Big I” gets more and i
more power, is the hall-mark of
the House of Tyranny. Somebody
wants to boss the public schools
and hatches a plan to put all
teachers on one pa-roll for all
or a part of their incomes, thus
to grab their allegiance. It would
ruin the schools. Parents would
have no voice in their children’s
education . . . one-man rule.
BIG MEDICINE MAN
Somdbody else covets a pri
vate domain of doctors and hos
pitals, and promptly paints a
pretty picture of so-called so
! cialized medicine. It would re
strict the surgeon’s knife to the
precision of a drill-press. Picture
a medical association affiliated
with the international union of
barbers and bartenders: daily
pay-scale, 40-hour week, time
and-a-half on Sundays and
Debbs’ birthday.
Doctors are men and those with
ambition would surely quit the
' profession. Theorists, paper-work |
doctors and nurses with hook
, worm would remain for the
> short hours and sure pay. The
i medical profession would be a
. joke; a grim joke. Without am"
; bition, without zeal for service
t to humanity, there could be no
, clinics like Mayo and Johns Hop
kins, of which we will nood so
many, and soon.
A LETHAL ATMOSPHERE
! Imagine a ruptured appendix
. in your house with your trusted
surgeon deer hunting, off duty
until tomorrow. Imagine a union*
nurse walking out on a pneumoftfa
crisis while you wait for Miss No.
72 of the graveyard shift to saun- >
ter in and take over. Think of
200,000 new doctors, likely re
quired by the shortened hours
educated at $1500 a year from
taxes, 300 million dollars the
1 first ear.
Politicians maybe can console
themselves that everybody has to
die sooner or later anhow. So
cialized medicine, like military
aggression, is a tragic quest for
dominion. Only Congress hgs
power to protect American in
stitutions from pillage. It is my
prayer that America may never
rankle from resentment enough
to foment a Black Shirt sally or
a Beer Hall putsch. Wars result
j from thirst for power.
