By the Associated Press.
Administration emphasis on human
rights in view Of the creation Of
property owners Of capital forum
led to expectations in Washington last
night that the American Liberty
League may expedite Its promised
elaboration of purposes.
In the wake of President Roose-
velt's chiding that the league over
looks thy neighbor," Postmaster Cen
eral Farley invited New Jersey Re-
publicans at Sea Girt to Democratic
enlistment this Fail and every elec-
ton day"
Here at last" he said, "is q philoS-
ophy of government that puts human
values first"
It was predicted that President
Jouett Shouse Of the league, in
speech from New York possibly this
week, will seek to dispel any impress
sion that the league would sacrifice
human for property rights or have
any partisan flavor.
Rather, 1t was said, he more likely
will indicate a membership appeal
based on a philosophy Of the Con-
stitution and economics that league
adherents fear are threatened by
some, but not all new deal enact
ments.
To Express Wish 10 Help.
He Is expected to stress a wish to
help, not hinder. Quarters sympa-
thetic to the league hazarded q guess
that it ultimately would contend for
its views as the surest and safest In
surance of human rights, the solution
Of unemployment, etc.
It became known that active or
ganiZation has been started in New
England and other sections. Discus
sion of the project was held for sew
eral weeks before the Shouse an
nouncement that Alfred e. Smith,
John w. Davis, Representative James
W. Wadsworth, Nathan l.. Miller and
Irenee du Pont would be members
Of the Executive Committee.
Gov Ely of Massachusetts,, a Demo-
crat, expressed the opinion at West
field that 1t would greatly help the
administration. He did not believe 1t
would be against all the Presidents
policies, but rather that 1t is actuated
by a desire to set in operation means
Of giving the public information to
countersct the remarks and offerings
Of theorists"
Glass Denies Application.
Nothing more was said at the White
House. Departure of the President
for Hyde Park, N. Y, last night ne
cessitated arrangements which left lit
tie time for anything else.
Vice President Garner, in Texas, and
various Senators throughout the coun-
try took a waiting attitude, apparently
content to defer comment pending
whatever develops after the league
Executive Committee meeting In New
York Tuesday.
Senator Glass, Democrat, Of vir-
ginia took occasion in sailing from
New York for Europe to deny afilia-
toin with the league. He dropped a
tersely significant remark, however,
apropos Of President Roosevelt's con-
tention that the organization might
well include human rights with its
concern over the prerogatlveS OF prop
erty. -....
"well, give them timel" It was.
Hes had year and half, they've
just begun"
The firm Virginian, an opponent c.
some Roosevelt recommendations, VIII
recently disavowed any intention OF
aligning with a Republican bloc, said
he would continue ITO support the
President when he is right and not
when he is wrong.
II am a Democrat-one of the few
left; intend to remain a Democrat"
Taking notice of reports that the
American Federation Of Labor may
ally with the league, President Green
told reporters here "it would be more
than surprising" He planned TO state
the federation's attitude formally next
week,
