AMERICA WITNESSES AN
HISTORIC CONFLICT
The people of America are witnessing ‘
an historic conflict in the nation's capital ;
between an imperious official and their
representatives in Congress. It is a con
flict as epochal as any waged in Anglo
Saxon history between king and parlia
ment. The form and substance of con
stitutional government as we have known
it is at stake on the outcome of this con
flict. It is the old, old battle between
popular rule .through representative as
sembly and executive absolutism—be
tween liberty and tyranny.
For 11 years President Roosevelt has;
been gathering into his hand's a concen-'
tration of governmental powers such as
survived. He, has'steadily encroached
upon constitutional prerogatives of Con
no republic in history has tolerated and
gress. which, until.two..years ago. was
subservient to his will. He has sought
to dominate the courts and bend them j
to his purposes. He has created an over
powering and arbitrary bureaucracy to j
which he has had delegated authority to :
make law by decree. * .
He has flouted tradition, broken prece
dents and ignored the circumvented con
stitutional restraints. He even demand
ed of Congress that it pass a law he pro
posed regardless of their doubt as to its
constitutionality. The war emergency
has given him an extraordinary oppor
tunity to expand executive powers and
governmental controls and he has taken
fullest advantage of it...
He has demanded and received bil
lions of dollars in blank-check appropri
ations that have freed him in large meas
ure from control of the purse strings.
Finally, he is trying to usurp the consti
tutional power of Congress to levy taxes
-nd in this effort he transgressed beyond
the oatience of his most faithful follow
*
ers.
This proved the ultimate trespass, the
fundamental issue that exploded into a
Homing and dramatic congressional re
volt led by his own chosen senatorial
r^okesman. Majority Leader Alben
Barkley of Kentucky. Mr. Roosevelt’s
;nsulting, acrid, dictatorial tax bill veto
message, deliberately designed to dis
credit the Congress and exalt himself in
the eyes of the nation, cruelly included
in its sweeping accusations his faithful
partisan friends' with his open partisan
foes. •<%.- .
It proved the ultimate indignity. It
blasted the ties that had bound men to
him by party and personal bonds through
thick and thin for 12 years. But the re
volt in Congress is more than an explos
ion of wrath and resentment. It is a dec
laration of war, a spontaneous challenge
to executive usurpation—a fight to de
fend and preserve constitutional self
government by men resolved that “gov
ernment of the people, by the people and
for the people shall hot perish from the
oo r t h. ”—Spokesman-Review.
