The second half OF Mr..

excerpts on democracy and

democracy. IS Mfr Cousins calls

Ii is for that reason I'm al
ways insisting on the difference
between liberty and democracy.
Liberty is an instinct. but de-

latter you can do anything To-

Amazing Philosophy

CHAIRMAN FLYNN of the Democratic National
~ Committee has interpreted and distorted national
unity in TO mean suppression OF political 0pposuon
He describes the anticipated effort TO elect mem
oers Of the Republican Party to Congress as a move
Ito destroy and disunIte our people
He asCribes such activity as the WORK OF peanut
politicians" who are mot as much interested in win
ing the in controlling the House OF Repre-
cntatves
This is an amazing philosophy. if Mr. Flynn is to
II would not be national unity which would be
achieved by such put an adjournment OF de-
mocracy.
IF EVERY candidate for public office for the dura-
| ton of the war is to be adjudged patriotic and
ova citizen only if he has the approval of Mr. Flynn
and the endorsement Of the Democratic Party the
fundamental character Of American government VIII
undergo an unprecedented change.
to be wondered if Mr. Flynn 3 n is seeking ma
AS chairman of the Democratic Party, Mr. Flynn
is naturally interested in electng many Democrats
as possible and often possible.
That is his Job.
However it is highly questionable if he should at
tempt to establish for public office included
III the laws of the nation
WHY does he not content himself with offering the
w American people candidates of his party for pub
lie office the basis of their demonstrable merits
Why does he not trust the American people TO elect
representatives of merit?
If democracy is not to be relied upon in war
other emergency, what real dependence can be put
Democracy is not far-weather philosophy to be
adhered to tranquil times and to be hastily discarded
at the first approach of danger.
Democracy is either beneficial for America at all
times and especially under stress or it is not bene-
fetal at all
IT is the trend away from democracy in other nations
l which resisting here
II is the loss of American democracy against which
fighting
Why should we permit the brand of disloyalty and
disunty to be put upon any Americans who as Indi-
divduals candidates supporters OF legitimate ana
historic political parties, are engaged in carrying out
the basic precepts of democracy?
Mr.. Flynn says it would be misfortune compar-
able to "a major military defeat for Republican
House of Representatives to be elected this fall.
On the contrary, it might possibly be victory for
efficient conduct of the
1t might be victory for Amercanism
1t might even be victory for true democracy
MOREOVER, such result could only be accom-
lVl pshed by the majority vote of the American peo
pie and thus by the clear and directly expressed will of
the American people, Mr. Flynn is in the dangerous posi-
ton of challenging the RIGHT IN THEIR HANDS.
Mr. Flynn should have confidence in the
American people, and faith in their good judgment
They have conducted great before and have
found necessary abandon democracy to do They
will conduct and win this great and let hope they
will be prevailed upon to make the loss of democracy

I'HE Hitler speech taken dS
- whole is significant-as I'M
portant for what he did not say
as for what he did.
On the ninth anniversary Of
the Nazi revolution. the Ger
man armies are suffering their
first real defeats in this war,
with immense casualties on the
eastern front.
A Shakeup has struck the high
command, and numbers OF gen.
erals have dropped out Of the
picture.
The United States has entered
the war and so has Japan. the
one bringing memories of d9lS,
and the other dashing the Aryan
race theory.
Under these conditions Hitler
spoke for one hour and 53 min
uteS 10 mass meeting.
OF THIS time he devoted 80
~ minutes TO his own version
of the history of the last war. To
prove what?
To prove that there were no
Nazis during the last war and
that, therefore, il is Germany
that Britain and America hate.
and not nazism; that the Ger
mans would have had the war
even if he had not been their
fuehrer: TO proverbs old song
that the last war was lost not
by the German armies but by
treason and defeatism at home;
10 prove that the personalities
involved in this war are the
same old 'warmongers" who
were responsible for the last
war-except on the Axis side.
Gle passes completely over
Mussolini's role in the last war,
"a one of the most articulate and
effective champions of 1talys
entrance into it-that time on
the Allied side)
LIE THEN spoke for 40 min
IL utes on the history of the
Nazi struggle for victory inside
Germany. To prove what?
To prove that the NazlS
started with nothing and at
tanned power only by bravely
disregarding terrible setbacks.
He reminds his hearers that
his movement was at one time
beaten to the ground and he
himself thrown into prison;
that time and again it seemed
as though the Nazi cause were
lost: and that even a few days
before victory no one would
have predicted that they could
succeed.
This part Of his speech is an
allegory and he himself points
the moral
The Nazi struggle is only a
picture of our national strug-
gle; the faint-hearted desert
what they thlnk is a SINKING
ship. but even as the NaZi
party won in spite of terrible
reverses, so will we win the
war.
LIE THEN spoke for % min

present war. the burden being
that he. Hitler. never wanted
the war and that Germany is
the victim of aggression and not
the aggressor; that he, Hitler.
attacked only because he saw
that Germany was going 10 be
attacked. /. N.
He is pleading not guilty for
himself and for the German
nation
Finally he devoted nine min
utcS 10 a report on the present
situation of Germany in the war
itself.

Killers Speech Reveals
Ais Not Well at Home
By DOROTHY THOMPSON

THE Hitler speech taken as a
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-02-06

In this nine minutes he gave
no figures on casualties.
In sharp contrast 10 the state
mentS that came from him and
Doctor Goebbels in December,
Hitler plays down the dangers
of the situation.
He attributes German re-
verses in Russia wholly TO the
cold.
He depicts the war as having
lasted four months. during
which Germ any was on the
offensive for four and on the
defensive for four mora de-
fensive position taken wholly
because of weather conditions.
OF course. as l have shown in
a more complete analysis Of this
part of the talk in published re-
ports, this is rank misrepresen-
tation. for the German armies
continued an offensive aimed at
Leningrad. Moscow and the
gates to the Caucasus not for
four months but for more than
five.
AS late as December FL Hitler
himself announced that no re-
treat was in order but that the
armies must lose. no foot of
ground. and the entire cam
paign has not lasted for eight
months but only for a few days
more than seven
II is clear by now that the
quarrel between Hitler and the
general staff arose over precisely
this matter Of beginning a new
offensive in October.
The generals counseled against
IT, warning that if il failed it
would bring disaster.
Hitler, with An eye on Japan,
insisted. and this continuance of
the offensive into the dead OF
winter set off the Russian coun-
ter-offensive under the most
favorable possible conditions.
Now, in this speech. Hitler de-
MED that the offensive really
continued.
EAR from being an aggressive
L speech 80 when taken as A
whole-the speech is one long
apology and self-juStification.
Hitler like the German
armies. is on the defensive; a
personal defensive.
He says there never will be
another 1918 as long as he is in
power. thus qualifying the posi-
bility.
He says he knows that no one
else has so much authority in
Germany as he.
He tries TO take the guilt for
the war off Germany and espe-
Cially off the NaZi Party.
Perhaps most important of all.
the whole speech is radical and
addressed TO masses.
He attacks tories and "hyena
capitalists
He denounces the British and
American social systems and
CLOSES over the Russian
He emphasizes the socialism
of nazism and plays up social
gains.
And he mentions only one
Nazi leader: Robert Ley Of the
labor front.
IRON the speech. therefore,
one can get some picture of
the state of mind in Germany.
The masses do fear a repeti-
ton of 1918: they do have
sense of guilt; they do blame the
Nazi leadership for the war;
they suspect some tragic mis-
tokc i'm the eastern camDaign:
they do want peace; and only
such Nazi innovations A. the
labor front and strength through
JOY are really popular.
