While we are warned of the dangers of revenge and selfishness in postwar planning, we should recognize the opposed dangers of too much self-abnegation. Our puritanism leads to repressed aggression and guilt feelings in place of punishment of offenders; but complete forgiveness would not be understood by Germans or Japanese and would weaken the cause of future peace.
