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.
