I am deliberately raising the policy problems involved in Gentile-Jewish relations.

Comprehensive examination of any policy question calls for the performance of the intellectual tasks inseparable from any problem-solving method.

The tasks are briefly indicated by these questions: What are my goals in Gentile-Jewish relations??

What are the historical trends in this country and abroad in the extent to which these goals are effectively realized??

What factors condition the degree of realization at various times and places??

What is the probable course of future developments??

What policies if adopted and applied in various circumstances will increase the likelihood that future events will coincide with desired events and do so at least cost in terms of all human values??
