An equal trust shown to all the peoples of the earth, and not just to some, opens a way to peace. In every nation, there is a small number of demented persons who are capable, if they come to power, of drawing the masses into the vortex of hatred and war. For this reason, it is crucial never to humiliate members of a nation when a few of its leaders have triggered unbelievable violence. Are we sufficiently aware that no one people is guiltier than others—such a thing does not exist, and never shall.
