BY EDWARD ANSEL By Radio to The § BERLIN, April 15.—Abraham the greatest statesman of world's largest democracy, has the leader of the German MOWRER. and Chicago Daily News. Lin the be- Re- | publican parties in the electoral cam- paign Lincoln, according to German Dem- | ocrats, was the most sublime type of |a leader of the people, who found it possible to carry out state policies, not against the will of “’stupid sheep,” but leader of a conscious people, who only asked to be informed and ence. Books Are Distributed. A new small blography of Lincoln, written by Count Mongelas, a Demo- cratic writer and politician, who rep- resented Germany unofficially at last vear's assembly of the League of Na- tions, has been published and millions of coples scattered broadcast by the Democratic parties as a symbol of their hope and ideal for a new Ger- many. Defends Lincoln Statue. Count Mongelas, who is a competent art critic, takes occasion to defend the Barnard statue of Lincoln against its critics, saying that it gives the es- sence of the man rather than a mere portrait, and thereby raises Lincoln to the level of a universal symbol, valid for all who believe the common people are the seed bed of greatness. Whether this propaganda will ap- peal to the German people will be de- cided at the election on Sunday, April Against the Lincoln conservatives is pitted the national hero, Von Hinden- burg. a typical leader of the past. It universally realized that the ques- tion is whether the medieval idea which he represents is suitabie for modern times and present ideals. The issue is not German foreign policy. but the world’s attitude to | ward Germany: not immediate resti tution of the monarchy. but the future | development of Germany along na | tionalistic. imperialistic. aggressive | lines or along humanly pacific roads | to a fellowship of peoples. | Hindenburg himself despises poli | tics and possesses only a specialized | culture. He lives in an atmosphere of military adoration in his house, in of the modern world, dreaming of the glorious past of kaiserdom and scorn- ful of internationalistic efforts and | areams. Avoids All Contacts. From the heights of his achieve- ments and dignity the general looks benevolently down upon his German people, whom he is willing to conduct back to the prosperous days of Wil helm. He practically refuses to see any one and avoids contacts with the press, which can only be made by correspondence. He considers the in- stitution of the press a misfortune and that its influence can be destroyed by ignoring it. Hindenbutg is today in the hands of his friends. His mail is opened by those about him. The old marshal never answers the telephone himself. His entire attitude seems to wipe out 100 vears of cultural, technical and social development. Therefore the an- tithesis to Lincoln is perfect, and Ger- man voters, forty million strong, will be asked to decide whether they wish a paternalistic government for the people or a government of and by the people as well.
