Glenn Frank OF New York city. edi-
tor Of the Century Magazine. told the
meeting of the Council OF Cities OF
the Methodist Episcopal church here
yesterday,
Five fears were specified by Mr.,
Frank as contained in the books Of
certain authors who have gone TO
make up what Mr.. Frank termed the
"literature of despair" The proph-
esy Of the New, Dark Ages springs
from soma one or all OF these i've
distinct fears. he said. lie described
these as the biological fear that the
best blood of the world was turning
10 water; the Psychological fear that
the crowd-man and crowd processes
OF thinking will push 10 the wall that
insurgent individual whom we hithcr-
10 regarded an one OF the mainstays
OF progress: the Economic fear that
our Industrial civilization has over
reached itself and Is due for a coll
lapse. the administrative fear that
the bigness and completely OF tho
modern world hasoutstripped the adj
ministrative capacity OF mankind and
the moral fear that the younger gem

u do not suggest that we disre-
gard this literature of dispair." said
Mr.. Frank. These five fears arc
well grounded. Our duty Is to con-
auor them. not by emotional mean
tation. but by removing their causes.
s"IIut there Is also a literature Of
hope. made up OF creative ideas, the
new idealsm and the new spiritual
values. ] venture to suggest some
ideas that seem to me must be res
