CONTRASTS HOOVER,

2 .
Says Executives Cannot
. o
Hide Lack of Leadership
o .
By Blaming Legislatures
Ursurpation of legislative pow
ers by executives in the ‘“name of
necessity” was scored here Tues
day by Abit Nix, who also said
that executives cannot hide their
own lack of leadership by blaming
the legislative branch of govern
ment for failure to provide for the
needs of the people.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Mr. Nix
told the Athens League of Women
Voters, has shown the world how
leadership by the executive can
“get things done for the people”
and how vast power can be con
centrated in the executive, consti
tuting a virtual dictatorship, with
out endangering democratic gov
ernment. |
In times of stress, said Mr. Nix,
some executives are tempted to
take over the authority the
pexlo are supposed to exercise
th their duly elected legisla
tors and by doing so such execi
tives are indicating a ‘“conception
of the duty and purpose of exe
cutive office completely at variance
with the concept of liberty hand
ed down to us by the great Dem
ocratic leaders of all time.”
Mr. Nix's address was devoted
to three phases of the Roosevelt
administration which, he says,
have assured the Democratic
Presidenty of a lasting place in
history as one of the great chief
executives of the nation. He re
plied to ecritira who have express
ed fear that concentration of un
usual power in President Roose
velt constitutes a dictatorship in
imical to Democratic government.
“No one” Nix said, “is more
aware than Mr. Roosevelt of the
danger to Democratic government
'which lies in a dictatorship based
’on fear of executive reprisal, in
’stead of the consent of the peo
-Iplc."
| Roosevelt’s Example
Contrasting the ineffectiveness
of the Hoover administration with
the boldness and preductiveness of
‘the Roosevelt administration, and
dhe part executive leadership has
played in the latter, Nix declared
no executive can rightfully excuse
his own lack of leadership hy
Jhlamlng the legislative branch of
government for failure to provide
for the needs of the people. While
it is true, he said, that President
‘Hoover lacked a numerical major
-lit,v of his own party in congress
‘during the closing months of the
Republican administration, criti
cism of the ineffectiveness of the
Hoover administration was due
moré to the President's lack of
leadership than anything else. And
while the present congress con-
[tnins a numerical majority of
| President Roosevelt’'s own party
there are enough divergent ele
ments contained in that majority
lto establish several political pare
;“CS' “To have united the diver
|zent groups represented in the
Democratic congressional majority
demanded the character of leader
ship which President Roosevelt
has -shown.”
l “In less than sixty days
'Presidont' Roosevelt has given
|the people of the world a demon-’
{stra,tlon of, (1) the importance of
| executive leadership in carrying
{out the will of the people; (2) re
’doflned and reclarified the purpose
of Democratic government; (3)
'provldi;d an example of concen
[trated power, or dictatorship, rest
|ing upon the consent of the peo
iple. as contrasted with a dictator
| ship resting upon the arbitrary
usurpation of tho people’'s author
ity by executive will.”
Lack of jLeadership
Continuing, he said:
“No more concrete and siriking
example of the chaos which re
sults from lack of leadership by
the executive can be found in our
national history than that which
existed in the closing months of
the Hoover administration. And
no better example of the good
that can be accomplished through
executive leadership can be found
than taht which President Roose

Basis of States’ Public
Expenditures
WASHINGTON.-~ (AP) — The
administration bill to set up *a
$500,000,000 fund for direct unem
ployment relief neared final con
gressional approval Tuesday when
the senate banking committee ap
proved the measure virtually as it
was passed by the house. T
Prompt senate approval of the
legislation, introduced by Senators
Wagner (D., N. Y.(, Costigan (D.,
Colo,) and LaFollette (R. Wis),
is expected by leaders because a
similar bill was speedily approved
earlier in the session. N
The house refused to consider
the senate bill, contending that #s
it was an appropriation measure -
it should have originated in the
house. ‘
The house bill approved by the
committee Tuesday is virtually the
same, however, as the measure
which the senate passed. The only
'major change s that the first 3
'5260,000,000 would be allocated to’i}"
the states on the basis of previ
ous rellef expenditures instead of '
the first $200,000,000.
The senate committee agreed to
this modification and réported the
bill unanimonsly, with oue or two
minor amendments of its own. :
A Federal Relief Adnzinistrator
would have charge of administer- |
ing the gigantic fund, distributing
