MANN SEES TEST
FOR DEMOCRACY
Militant Love of Ideal Is
Prescribed to Foil
Fascist States.

For more than two hours last night,
Thomas Mann. one of the greatest
minds in world literature and world
thought, mirrored for Washington
Forum audience at Constitution Hall,
the opposing concepts and principles Of
Fascism and Democracy.
In a sentence the mere expression
of hope, he gave to the audience the
most telling of insights into his bitter
hate and dread of Fascism and his
love of Democracy.
1T is my own dream" he said, to
make my home in your country in the
not too distant future, and I am con-
vinced that if Europe continues for a
while to pursue the same course as in
the last two decades, many good Eu-
ropeans will meet again on American
soil"
Exiled From Germany.
Self eXiled from his native land,
Germany, since shortly after the Hit
Ter regime. Dr.. Mann took the same
stand against Fascism that has made
him one of the greatest and most
feared individual enemies of the to-
talitarian states in Europe.
Though handicapped somewhat by a
strong German accent, he shortly
found" his audience and the force be-
hind his thoughts. expressed in the
prose which made him Nobel Prize
winner in 1929, held them.
The latter part of his talk, a general
summary, is quoted in part:
Il have said, ladies and gentlemen,
that faith in the ultimate victory of
Democracy over it's adversaries, and
that victory itself, imply certain condi-
tions whose historical fulfillment is
today incumbent on Democracy. 1
have named the first of these condi-
tlonS-a profound and active self
communion, spiritual and moral re-
newal of its self elf-consciousnesS, the re-
discovery of the youtlifulness its time
lessness implies. The second is the
clear and steady insight into the un-
Questionably menacing practical ad-
vantages on which it's present ad-
versary and rival, dictatorial Fascism,
bases its hopes of victory.
Would Sacrifice All.
Democracy as whole is still far
from realizing that concentration of
Fascism, the totalitarian state, with it's
fanaticism, which is ready to sacrifice
all civilization, all humanity for the
sake OF power. By these unfair means
it obtains for itself completely un-
precedented advantage, a start in the
race of life which is, for the moment,
morally disappearing in the highest
degree.
Yet, If democracy is going to stand
up against it, there must be no mistake
as to the eviiness of the new thing that
has entered the world. The danger of
democracy is the humane illusion, the
good faith that this new thing can be
dealt with, can be won over to the
idea of peace and collective reconstruc-
ton by compliance, by understanding,
by loyal concessions. That is a dan
gerous error.
THE Fascist picture of the world
and its history is one of pure force,
completely devoid Of, and alien to,
morality and reason. Its demands are
not to be satisfied by concessions: they
are simply boundless, indefiniable and
illimitable.
"At present, any fulflllment of Ger
man demands means a cruel and dis
couraging blow against those forces in
