WHY DICTATORS APPEAR
“If a nation becomes discouraged, if a nation feels that it is being discriminated against and is xxiwerless, if it feels that it has not, and cannot have, within its existing limits, the requirements for a fortunate and a happy and prosperous life, it almost invites the dictator,” said Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler in a recent address in New York. “And a nation—even a wise and experienced and cultivated nation —will put up with a dictator just, as long ns he gives signs of solving this problem. But —mark my words—when it becomes clear that his dictatorial methods are not going to solve the problem, those poeples are going to turn of their own accord, and without force being applied by anybody, to another and a more constructive method of solution.”
