Dorothy Thompson's 10 Points For Democracy
Dorothy Thompson, the columnist, spoke up for an expand- ed form of democracy recently in a speech at a New York ban- quet honouring her "great services to democracy." The famous woman commentator declared it was not sufficient to fight for the American way of life because that way was not yet good enough,'
Before an audience that included Governor Lehman, Mayor LaGuardia and Wendell Willkio, Miss Thompson declared that democracy was the right form of government but that the people had no idea what it meant. Democracy fails to function, sha sald, because it remains a concept and it's not expressed,"
"If one set of people are told
to fight for this way of life," she continued, and another are told to conquer the world, the latter will win."
In her address Miss Thompson called for a revolution based upon "the individual person and based
