AMERICA IS SEEN SAFE FROM 1505 Constantine ' Brown Holds U. S. Unwilling to Follow Europeans. The American people may want to place their future in the hands of one man, but they are not headed for fascism or communism, Constantine Brown, well-known foreign affairs correspondent, told the Y. M. C. A Young People’s Forum last night. Brown, & membgr of The Star staff, said there is no essential difference between communism and fascism, pointing out that under both of these political philosophies the energies of all the people are expended primarily for the good of the state. Tracing the development of com- munism, fascism and the rise of Hit- ler, Brown said economic conditions in Russia, Italy and Germany formed the real basis for the success of these dictatorships. Outstanding among these factors, he said, were hunger and oppression of the people. Brown predicted that the countries now ruled by dictators will gradually return to capitalistic domination sub- Ject only to the supreme power of the state. He indicated his belief that Tuesday's election reveals a tendency on the part of Americans to look to one man for their future guidance, as did the Russians, Italians and Ger- mans, but added that he did not be- lieve the American people would sub- scribe to any of the “isms” of Euro- pean origin. After finishing his address Brown was questioned by a panel composed of 8. D. Shankland of the National Education Association, chairman; E. B. Brossard of the Tariff Commission, Dr. Floyd M. Riddle, professor of po- litical science at American Univer- sity; Dr, Arthur L. Maiden, principal of the Washington Preparatory School, and Dr. J. Orin Powers.

BY the Assoclated Press, Will President Roosevelt, like four of the most famous two-term Presi- dents of the United States, “pick” his successor in the White House? 8o far no one apparently has been singled out in such fasion as to suggest that Mr. Roosevelt was attempting to develop a New Deal “crown prince” and to build him up in public opinion for the 1940 Democratic presidential nomination. What might happen in the next four years, however, promises to be a matter of considerable specu- lation. The two men hailed as .the patron saints of the Democratic party, Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson, openly designated their choice of “heir.” ‘Theodore Roosevelt virtually dictated Republican selection of William H. s Dining States MART!

James Madison “timid little husband” of the famed Dolly Madison, put on pressure for James Monroe as his successor. Jefferson Overrode Protests. Many members of Jefferson’s Repub- lican-Democratic party were opposed to Madison. Several Republican Con- gressmen joined in issuing a formal protest against his selection as the party’s standard bearer, but the pres- tige of the Sage of Monticello easily prevailed. Jefferson also was said to have arranged that Monroe follow Madison in the White House, and it was understood between the latter two that the Madison administration would exert all of its influence to per- petuate “the Virginia dynasty.” Andrew Jackson, idol of the “plain people,” has been rated by some his- demully: Inci i N SMITH MANAGEMENT ALL STATES H 514 19th Stl‘ HOTE ot N.W. and F Sts.

Whether he would have indicated a possible successor for post- war Republican leadership is unknown. Sensational revelations of graft and corruption, involving members of the cabinet and congressional leaders, brought disrepute to the second ad- ministration of war hero Ulysses 8. Grant. The Republicans were split into three groups at the end of the term, and President Grant made no overt effort to signify his choice for the 1876 nomination. o Grover Cleveland ran into the 1883 business panic in his second term.
