Universal brotherhood is not even a beautiful dream. Antagonism is essential to man's greatest efforts.

We shall try to spirit the penniless population across the border by procuring employment for it in the transit countries, while denying it any employment in our own country .... expropriation and the removal of the poor must be carried out discreetly and circumspectly.
