He added: “To say to this people that it ought to concentrate in one man, no matter how honest and inteli- gent, all power; to suggest that it should abandon, no matter how @rave the circumstances, its form of government; in a word to Feeommend te thy Swiss, whe by reason of long tradition carry the idea of liberty in their blood, a dictatorship, even under the mod- ified fo authoritative gov- ernment, is to show a gross lack of elementary good sense.
