Do we think that will rever 1* again? That's what they thought when Rome fell, that’s the wav they figured in Cromwell’s time in England, and in every other land which ha»i gone through the woes of M<-iali>m and its constant companion, jx'veity. or through the awful eco nomic degrodation which' follows par alyzing wars. Rut they were wrong every time for such a power craver just won’t stay down. His structure is destroy ed 1 ut he builds it back bigger than « v« i. A dictator steals his crown and i^n t satisfied for long being just ”Mr.“’ I 1 he doesn’t covet a crown, his w ile does, and sooner or later we have an Emperor, a King Somebody, yt u reigning Duke. It may be an unworthy ambition— but it’s there just the same, and it ■will keep its head sticking up as long as human nature remains as it is. In fa*t, if it weren’t for these weird ambitions we would soon return to slaveiy, for ambition—worthy or un worthy—is the dynamo which drives man on to larger and more grandiose » achievements. It is difficult to picture Joe Stajin or Molotov or Vishinsky with dia- moml-.-tudded crowns on their unlove ly heads—end we don’t have to. But if the reign of these tyrants were to last until their natural deaths (and this won’t happen) their successors would be dreaming dreams of “pomp and glory” just as certainly as that the sun will rise. And those of their associates and blind followers in “fa vor” would be building palaces and yachts. , No, the regimes behind the Iron Curtain won’t last very many years longer; but others will rise up to take their 'places and, like as not, our grandchildren will witness the tele vised coronation of many a sovereign where now reigns a dictator.
