My purpose now is not to refute them. since they now need no further refutation. I merely wish to point out that the prejudice which gives rise to this sort of unfair and unwarranted attack on people helpless to defend themselves is an emotion against which we must all be constantly on our guard. A second emotion which we must recognize and try to control in our dealings with this situation is one which has an impressive Latin name-- xenophobia. That means the unreasoning fear and dislike of persons from other lands than our own. without regard to their individual merits. An emotional approach. based on this emotion. will clearly make rational consideration of our problem impossible.
