I oppose this — in some **instances** the fight is a rather desperate one. But to attain any success it is quite clear that the Federal government cannot avoid or escape responsibilities which the mass of the people firmly believe should be undertaken by it. The political processes of our country are such that if a rule of reason is not applied in this effort, we will lose everything — even to a possible and drastic change in the Constitution. This is what I mean by my constant insistence upon "moderation" in government. Maintenant, il est vrai que je crois que ce pays suit un chemin dangereux lorsqu'il autorise un degré trop grand de centralisation des fonctions gouvernementales. Je m'y oppose - dans **certains** cas, le combat est plutôt désespéré. Mais, pour parvenir au moindre succès, il est assez clair que le gouvernement fédéral ne peut pas éviter ou échapper aux responsabilités dont la masse des gens sont fermement convaincus qu'il devrait les entreprendre. Les processus politiques de notre pays sont tels que, si le règne de la raison n'est pas employé dans cet effort, nous perdrons tout - même jusqu'à un changement dans la constitution, possible et radical. C'est ce que je veux dire par mon insistance constante sur la « modération » dans le gouvernement.
