which to cow witnesses who counselled against panic, undemocratic action and haste. The Pearl Harbor sabotage rumors have long since been officially pronounced false and fantastic. But it is worth while reminding ourselves that largely because of them, by a peculiar displacement, persons of Japanese ancestry on the West Coast were punished for misdeeds which their counterparts in Hawaii did not commit. And more important, they were penalized because substantial elements of our population, in spite of occasional concessions to democratic terminology, really believe that behavior is determined by physical traits rather than by social training. Apparently Hitler was not the only one who knew in advance, on the basis of physical measurements, which elements of the population would be citizens and loyal to him, and which would not. The bio-sociological conception which led the German Reich to destruction attacked us from without and also from within. So far we have probably been most successful in repelling the external attack. And we are far from safe, for it is a point of view that can still marshal powerful adherents, both within and outside of this country. One thing is certain. The development of weapons of war during recent years dictates that the fight against the Hitlerian conception must not be waged on the battlefield again. It will be won in the classroom, the library, the lecture hall, in all places and at all levels where men of good will take stock of their common humanity, or it cannot be won at all
