policy norman thomas socialist lec turer author and former presi dential candidate declared that america should attempt to save the world through its peace efforts and set an example of the sup remacy of democracy over total itarianism in his speech to a large audience friday evening in brou ghal high school auditorium mr thomas said that we have done nothing to show the world that democracy can be made to work much of the unrest has been caused by the poor example in the so-called american democracies which are in reality dictatorships he said discusses assassination cautioning newsmen not to quote him as saying that he fav ored assassination he said assas sination is better than indiscri minate war if world peace could be secured by getting rid of hitler as many think it would be better to send a group of professional assassins to do the job since in war you hardly ever get the right man he went on to say mr thomas declared that we are conditioned by habit to go to war when we wish to do some thing and said that instinct is not always the best path to follow he stated that to secure a sure and glorious peace in a world like ours requires an active federation of nations to provide abundance instead enriching a group of peo ple in power while individuals may fight for democracy social ism or other social institution na tions will go to war to secure or defend economical advantages ridicules alarmists mr thomas ridiculed the stories of alarmists who picture hitler as advancing to africa then to south america and finally attacking the united states he humorously re marked a german army would get lost in brooklyn while saying he didn't believe america would be attacked as an act of aggression in the near future he stated we may be attacked in fifty years he repeatedly emphasized that if the united states gets into a european war our task will not be the easy one of supplying the fighting armies of europe if the next war in europe lasts more than three or four months and the united states is drawn in it will be the break-up of civilization europe will break and unfortun ately it will not be confined to the totalitarian states if we do make peace we will make the same mis takes we made in the treaty of versailles calling the united states indis criminate in her good neighbor pol icy he decried our catering to little dictators of south america who are worse than the european dic tators he said we need more than ever a foreign policy and the en forcing of our policy as expressed by president roosevelt mr thomas is against any ex tensive armaments and wishes we were free of the philippines he declared a completely armed country will lead to a provocative act in response to a question mr thomas stated that he will not run for president
