As Judge Leyden said. "It seems obvious that a person believing in dictatorships cannot also believe in the American form of government." and it is more than an insult to the intelligence of our electorate to tell us that dictatorships are a good thing for one country while America may continue as a democracy. Any such statement is merely lip service to America and not an honest expression of a persons opinion. In our naturalization laws we saw fit to insert a clause barring from American citizenship any person believing in what advocates the principles of anarchism. We should go a step further and amend our naturalization laws so as to bar from American citizenship any person who believes in or advocates the principles of a dictatorship. whether of the right or of the left. or any form of government which came into such prominence in Europe in the last few years under the name of fascism. totalitarianism. authoritarianism. or whatnot. It is high time that our democracy take a dynamic and positive stand. rather than be left on the defensive. a prey to the winds of dictatorships which have been sweeping the world. I must also advert. in passing. to the noble words of Viscount Cecil. the English statesman who just won the Nobel prize for peace.
