One difference between a dic- tatorship and a democracy is that in the former the same authority controls the making, the judging and the execution of the law, and that in the latter the three tasks are religiously kept in separate hands. In the Reorganization bill as proposed, by one sweeping slash, that separation was to be If any abolished except for Congress and! the courts.

Always Called Dangerous Theoretically such concentra- tion of power has always been called dangerous, but maybe that is just theory. The President him- self has said something to the ef- fect that in other hands the Ex- ecutive grab of Congressional and purpose to judicial powers would be dan- * gerous to liberty and democracy —theoretically dangerous, but with him practically safe. Well, the Morgan case doesn’t bear that out. Defying the TVA statute that made Dr. Morgan removable only by Congress, the President fired him. He fired him because he re- fused to defend himself before a kind of drumhead court-martial designed and prepared for pub- licity as a holy show to discredit him afid whitewash his opponents. Hé thought that because in what he charged were perversions of | his associates. the Sipported them to an extent that sterlized him. Dr. Morgan “insisted that the law ‘made “him responsible to Con- gress,that he had. appealed to Congress for an investigation and would not permit his case to be pre-judged and prejudiced in self-serving assertions before a orieunan* self-apponited judge The administration’s answer to that is that it is all wet. because 2 TVA was once upheld in building a dam, because the court held it was built under the war powers, and adds that war powers are “executive”. Passing the point that there are many more war powers that are legislative than any that are ex- ecutive and the authority that fir- ing Dr. Morgan was an exercise of Executive war powers, what does this imply? It implies that answering in voites that they! on your quick hands, and sunlight to the extent that the Reorgani- could not hear.
