this will require an unprecedented

The harmonization OF nationals
ties Is an entirely different pro-
cess, it is pointed out This can
only be really achieved through
enduring, diversified and mutual
ly sympathetic contacts between
foreigner and native, the study
shows, When any particular out
side group becomes so large and
their new way Of life so unfavor-
able that they tend to form iso-
lated communities Of their own,
the menace to national integrity
becomes acute, DIR. Fairchild says.
He declares that numerical restric-
ton of immigration into the Uni
ted States came just in time to
avoid irreparable injury to the
national integrity.
Zionism in theory is called a
thoroughly reasonable and logical
effort to restore homeland to the
Jewish people. The question is
raised whether it will be possible
to build Jewish state which will
accommodate a considerable pro-
portion of Jewry over the globe
that Jews in other countries will
feel they can mix in their adopted
settings without becoming traitors
to their own people. The major
part of anti-Semitism. DR.. Fair

action created in one nationality
by didrect contacts with members
of another nationality.
What DR.. Fairchild calls the in
creasing aggressiveness of the Ro-
man Catholic Church is declared
to give warning that serious rift
in the solidarity Of the American
! nation may yet be caused by re-
ligious incompatibility. Progressive
invasion by the church of social
fields such as birth control, ven
ereal disease. education, child well
fare and censorship. which he
says are not regarded by the ma
jority as distinctly religious areas
are causing growing resentment
and stiffened resistance of non.
Catholics.
Unification Of nationalities must
result from the new groups CIV
ing way to the established group.
DR.. Fairchild states. 1nter-group
harmony must rest on stamping
out antipathy or on control of
antipathy. but the obligation Of
the established group to control
group antipathy Is matched by the
duty Of the object of the antipathy
to remove any extraneous causes,
the study shows.
Instead of unrealisitc, sentiment

rected and removed from the idea
Of general group superiority. Any
constructive and enduring solu-
ton to race and nationality prob
lens, the author points out, must
rest on the universal, fundamental,
all-embracing religion based upon
world brotherhood and love Of
humanity protested and proclaim
ed by many Of the great religions
today and practised by none. Re-
ligious bigotry, he continues. can
have no more place In a world
Of peace and fellowship than ra-
cial egoism.
The only hope for world peace
and order, DR.. Fairchild stresses,
is based on voluntary and willing
cooperation of different nations.
The stronger, more self-conscious,
united and harmonious each of
these nations Is, he says, the bet
ted the chance for effective confed
Grated action. Each must be so
sure Of itself that il Is willing to
concede some Of its localized au-
tonomy in order to reap the bene-
fits OF security and international
coordination. Blending of nation

Is called one sure basis for pro.
