There are individuals of great wealth who wish a dictatorship and are ready to help a Huey Long. There are politicians, some in the Senate, I have heard, who think they may come into power like that of the European dictators in Moscow, Berlin, and Rome. One man, I have been told by personal friends, who owns nearly a billion dollars, is ready to support such a program, and, of course, control it. [Mar-1937]
