23- OTHERWISE. THE RECORD SHOWS THAT, WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS, THE NATIONAL INTEREST IS BEST SERVED IN BOTH MATURE AND DEVELOPING ECONOMIES BY THE FREE FLOW OF INVESTMENTS, GOODS, AND SERVICES ACROSS NATIONAL BOUNDARIES. THESE FLOWS ARE NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN FULL EMPLOYMENT, OPTIMIZE ECONOMIC GROWTH ON A SUSTAINABLE BASIS, AND TO ACHIEVE AN ENHANCED STANDARD OF LIVING. NOTHING IS MORE SENSITIVE TO UNFAIR OR DISCRIMINATORY TREATMENT THAN FOREIGN INVESTMENT. IT SHUNS ANY NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE IT DOES NOT ENCOUNTER THE FRIENDLIEST OF FEELINGS, IT TAKES OFFENSE QUICKLY AND FORGIVES SLOWLY. IN TODAY'S WORLD NO NATION CAN AFFORD THE LUXURY OF SELF-INDULGENT NATIONALISM. NATIONALISM HAS ITS ROOTS IN EMOTION, NOT IN LOGIC. IT APPEALS TO PREJUDICE NOT TO THE INTELLECT. IT PROSPERS AMONG THE UNTHINKING AND THE UNINFORMED. UNFORTUNATELY OFTEN THOSE IN A POSITION TO INFORM FIND IT MORE SELF-SERVING TO FAN THE FLAMES OF NATIONALISM RATHER THAN TO HELP QUENCH THE FIRE.
