III. Though much has been written on the subject of race, 

 the problems presented in this paper are not yet solved. It may- 

 be a long time before their solution is possible. Meantime, at the 

 close of the war some practicable method of dealing with unstable 

 and undeveloped peoples must be found. It is not necessary to as- 

 assume that these peoples are permanently inferior, but no one can 

 be so blinded by the democratic ideal as to deny that they are at 

 present in many ways, behind the most highly developed groups. 

 Therefore, we cannot hope for an immediate solution of the great 

 conflict in a wholly democratic world state, but only in some ar- 

 rangement which will truly "make the world safe for democracy" 

 in so far as democracy exists, and make it safe for democracy in so 

 far as it is able to develop. Whether we can reasonably hope that 

 time will bring democracy everywhere is a question depending 

 largely upon the matter of race, and the only way to answer that 

 question is to make a patient and unprejudiced search for complete 

 information.
