Roosevelt Does Not Want To Be Dictator
(Received 10.30 a.m.) WARM SPRINGS, .March 31
President Roosevelt surprisedly published a letter in response to the unnamed critic of the Government Reorganisation Bill, in which the President unequivocably announced his opposition to an American dicatorlship.
The letter staled; “I have no inclination to be a dictator. I have none of the qualifications to make me a 'Successful dictator, as I have too much historical background and too much knowledge of existing dictatorships to make me desire any form of dictatorship' in a Democracy like the United States of America.”
