“We have been passing through a period of unusual strain. Extreme fears have flourished and at times have sought release in extreme hopes. We have been deluged with epithets, panaceas, Messiahs, Cassandras, omniscient theorists, shattered nerves, gaudy or fearsome labels, sacred principles, dangerous trends, logical ends, and inevitable consequences. The demand for common sense can be heard on many sides.”
