Exactly. I said In the beginning that I credit the Senator from North Carolina with a 100percent motive to do the best he can for his country. and I am talking only in a friendly way. and not in an argumentative way. in order to help the Senator do what I know he wants to do. It has already been shown in the present war that one of the most effective ways of getting spies into another country has been to have them come out of their own country as refugeesfrom Germany or Russia. They come out of Germany and belabor Mr. Hitler. they belabor the Nazi system. or they come out of Russia and belabor the Russian system. they make a wide circle of friends. who agree generally with the utterances they are making. they are accepted in circles they would never otherwise be able to enter. by posing as poor persecuted people who have been driven out of the country where they formerly resided. they learn 10 times as much as they could otherwise learn. and that is part of the technique of boring from within.
Identified stereotypes
