In dealing with all questions which .arise out of this acute situation.. and which may become even more acute. the people of the several communities. the people who are responsible for community attitude. should feel a tremendous responsibility and duty to protect these minorities. these people in o6ur. midst. against any unreasonable. unwarranted acts. espe- cdally on the part of irresponsible people. which may amount to persecutionby a majorityof a helpless minority. I donot .at all -mean.that the people of this country should be indulgent - with reference to what is called -subversive activities. -this. -"fifth columnist." whether alien. .naturalized. or native. I - mean people. -scattered- throughout . the- country who are behaving themselves .wh01happen..hot to be American citizens or are foreignborn. I have heard of a fewI am glad- a very fewinstances of- great injustices being done. -It isnot .only unf air. but it is contrary to sound public -policy. .
