"There is no scientific and hitherto unknown mode of solving racial problems. It is finally a question of right thinking, decent behaviour, and simple kindness.
The question will not be solved by inter marriage or by isolating groups for occupation of special areas or by any man made ideas of superiority or inferiority. Right human relations will come by a mutual recognition of mistakes by sorrow for wrong action in the past and by restitution, if possible.
It will come when nations can be educated to appreciate the good qualities of other nations and to comprehend the part they play in the whole picture. It will be developed when the sense of racial superiority is killed; when racial differences and racial quarrels are relegated to the unholy past and only a future of cooperation and understanding is actively developed.
It will make its presence felt when the living standards of right relation (sought by the enlightened people of every race) become the habitual attitude of the masses, and when it is regarded as contrary to the best interests of any nation to spread those ideas which tend to erect racial or national barriers, arouse hatreds or foster differences and separation.
Such a time will surely come.
Humanity will master the problems of right human relations and attitudes."
