Having influences like- those just mentioned expanding in their scope, portends, as I suggested above, a considerable shake-up in party af- filation of a lasting kind. I do not mean to say that all of the liberals who are opposing the plan and all of the Democrats who are opposing the court-packing will refrain from supporting Mr. Roosevelt on other issues in the future. I do mean to emphasize, however, that some of them will not return to the ranks of Roosevelt stalwarts. Thus it becomes rather obvious, I think, that the conservative ranks in congress will be increased to the extent that some of the defections, caused by Mr. Roosevelt’s court proposal, result in permanent ad herence to other philosophies. So it seems to me that the future holds the probability of a sharp line of demarcation between radicals and conservatives. How they will be identified and what labels they may wear is immaterial. We are due to have a conservative party and a radical party in this country and its shape and character is be ing molded under the driving Are of the controversy precipitated by Mr. tional judges is to give him men on that court who will see present day problems rs the President sees them. In view of Mr. Jackson's state ments to the committee, we can look back upon some of the speeches made by New Deal spokes men some months ago and can realize from them and present de velopments that Mr. Roosevelt had the general purpose of packing the court in mind for some months. This circumstance seems to explain also why the President and his ad visors refused to accept the recom mendation of Prof. Raymond Moley in 1934. At that time. Professor Moley, a member, if not the num ber one man, of the Brain Trust, urgently pressed for the New Deal ers to go to the country with two constitutional amendments. He wanted the people of the country to understand that these amendments would permit enactment of certain types of laws. He thought that the congressional elections of 1934 was the time to present the questions to the voters. It must be said that Professor Moley’s proposition was one of the fairest and soundest to be made. It is a method prescribed by the Constitution itself. • Western Newspaper Union.
