In June 1947, Crane wrote to Hayek that he was disappointed by reports (likely coming from Leonard Read of FEE) that there were “accepters of collectivism” at Mont Pèlerin: “Are you quite sure that all of the American members, as I know some of them to be, are quite dependable?” Hayek responded with a warning against the “tendency to create an unreasoning orthodoxy which treats traditional liberal principles as a faith rather than a problem on which reasonable people may differ."
