Prospects for a World Without Intolerance

Intolerance is here defined as any measure of hatred or bitterness between social groups. Five of these are discussed: national, political, religious, racial, and ideological. National friendships and enmities are arranged by officals and are highly impermanet, but people follow their rulers, unless disordered conditions precipitate a revolution. Political parties attack one another in bitter words, but the wounds are quickly healed because of an underlying common allegiance to the state. Religious prejudice promises to be lessened by the war, since men of many faiths unite in a supreme effort at home and at the front. The prospects for a world and without racial intolerance are very good in some areas and very bad in some others. Ideological differences between radical revolutionary groups and their opponents promise to beven more acute with increasing intolerance, because of the irreconcilable ends and because the secret planning is believed to portend internecine strife
