Thomas Mann an Emery Reves

Gedanken zu R.’s Buch ›The Anatomy of Peace‹. »I call this idea democratic in a new and comprehensive sense: it ist obvious that the idea of democracy, originally connected with the idea of nationalism, has detached it – self from it, and that its ultimative goal must be a world civilization in which the conception of the sovereign national state will dissolve itself.« Meint, dass die Lektüre dieses Buches den Delegierten der San Francisco-Konferenz gute Dienste erwiesen hätte.
