McGrath called upon the gradual

Much of tolerance and under
standing will be required of each of
us" the Governor told his audi
ence," as we adjust our thinking
and living to its proper place in a
contracting world. If educated men
spurn these principles, it will have
done us no good to win our war. If
hate and suspicion underline the
peace, then we have lost all good
that could possibly come from war.
