WASHINGTON, July 39. The "purge" of the Good Neighbor league which removed Stanley (all-time) High from It directorship and made Walter A. Jones, ardent new dealer, president, contains more significance than meets the eye. It la part of a definitely crystallis ing plan for the next phase In the battle for new deal objectives. The general strategy la a realign ment of forces, liberals versua con servatives regardless of party label. The battlefield now becomes the na tion. The court fight was only one sector. Here the Good Neighbor league steps In. The president will go on the air under Its auspices to restate his objectives' within a moon or so. Meanwhile, a drive to make the league a nation-wide organization will begin. Skeleton groups already exist In twenty-three states. Solici tation for membership In all forty- eight states will start immediately. Several conferences between ad ministration officials and league of ficial have already taken place and a campaign has been mapped out. An important meeting is planned for Thursday, July 29. at the White House which may signal completion of the program. The avowed purpose of the league la education "along liberal lines." It can now be stated that it was the definite purpose of the adminis tration to let the court Issue be the bell-wether which the liberals could follow. Thus the sheep and the goats would be separated. Then Messrs. Wheeler and O'Mabo neV leaped the fence, taking their followers with them; and the line-up was completely scrambled, with the "conservatives" announcing complete rout of the new deal forces. But the administration explains, aa the allies frequently did in their official communiques during the World war after a retreat, that Its forces have "retired to previously prepared positions In- the rear and are consolidating their lines." Th first sign of the "consolida tion" was Senator Bob La Follette's sound-off championing the adminis tration program, after a week-end cruise aboard the presidential yacht. Both Senator La Follette and his brother, Governor Phil of Wisconsin (who also went along on the ship of state) are, of course, members of a bona fide party, the progressives. And so, this old gray squirrel on the White House elm reports the beginning of the drive to build a new deal following regardless of party affiliation, by direct contact with leaders such as the La Follette broth ers and by direct appeal to the nation through organizations like the Good Neighbor league.
