He proposed the following progi'am to t;Q]nbaL the .Nazi tlieoi'if's::
"First, we can consciousl.v strive to eiadictite from mur heaj'ls and minds every \'estjge of racial and religious prejudice and hatred. Let us live the re¬ ligion we einlaace. Let us jirac- tice the Americanism we |it'o- claim.
"Secondly, we can call upon our Governments to provide full and comiileto protection of life, liberty, freeilom of wor¬ ship and civil rights for all our inhabitants, whatever may be tlieir dislinctitms as to birth, colpr^ nationality, language, race or religion.
'I'hirdly. through our Govern¬ ments and through our own Ije- havior we can guarantee the equality of opportunity in law antl in fact for all our inhabi¬ tants.
"Fourthly, we can respect and guarantee the right of all religious, ethnic and cultural groups to maintain and' foster their respective group Identi¬ ties and to engage in their own beliefs and practices so long as the public Interest is not ad¬ versely, affected.
Fifthly, we can work toward the full realization of full econo¬ mic security of all the people of the United States, recogniz¬ ing as we do that man at heart is good and only resorts to acts of irnoierance against minority or sraepgoal groups uf people when he feels his ahilily to pro¬ vide a (jecent livelihood for bis family  is jeopardized.
"Finally, we can establish, it necessary, appropi'iale and ade- (luaie. machinery in every local community, no matter how re¬ mote to secure protection again¬ st the curtailment ot our finan¬ cial rights.
