"The greatest single obstacle which this league must combat is an irrational and fatalistic way of thinking that is startlingly prevalent in America now," a spokesman for the group asserted. "Mass emotionalism can be checked," he said, "if the crucial issues are presented, as they arise, in a clear-cut and sensible fashion."
