thing to say about it, shall net be
made to seem trivial because of any

thority to control the thoughts Of
men. If we are to convince that pa
thetic minority which doubts the
fairness and future of American in
stitutions, we cannot do so by at

beliefs within their heads. 1t must
be our brave task, undertaken with
good cheer, to do whatever we can
together toward the displacement of
misunderstanding of America by
such education and patience as it IS
proper and safe for us to bestow
upon the unfortunate"
