WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The
enthusiasm with which Labor's
Non-Partisan League delegates
greeted the prediction that they
were on the way toward forma-
ton of liberal party quite evil
IDENTIFY caused John L. Lewis to
draw a tighter rein upon the
movement.
The league was formed for the
most part of followers of the
United Mine workers chief in his
break with the American Fedora
ton of Labor. Their immediate
purpose is to swing as much as
possible of the labor movement
behind President Roosevelt.
George L. Berry, head of the
league and New Deal coordinator
for industrial cooperation, assur-
ed delegates at their recent con.
vention that they would "have a
share in the establishment of a
liberal party in 194O."
That was a longer step than
had been taken by any leader of
the league. There has been talk
of the league acting as the necleus
of new party alignment, but
never before had it been commit
ted to it.
Talks Calmly
Indeed it seemed a step longer
than Lewis wished to take. When
it came his turn to speak, he
calmly explained in his deliberate,
phrase-making style that the first
step was to re-elect President
Roosevelt. Then would be time
enough to consider what part in
the politics of 1910 would be tax
en- by the league. 1t appeared to
be a part of his strategy to pre-
vent the movement taking on the
appearance Of a one-man build
up.
There are those in the league
who already talk freely OF Lewis
as presidential candidate in
1910 at the head of a liberal
party movement that would in
clude farmers. labor and what
they term ''liberal minds ar
raigned against the "big corpora
tions" and the "Wall street bank
ers."
They argue that Lewis is a
powerful figure in the labor
movement whose views are we'll
known throughout the country,
and whose association with Presi-
dent Roosevelt might give him at
least the semblance of an "heir
apparent"
To Seek New Laws
What thought has been given to
such a prospect by Lewis can only
be surmised. He has announced
as his number one aim the i'm
proving of conditions for labor.
Through politics he hopes to pro-
gress faster than in the past.
Conceding that he may have let
his mind dwell on the presidential
idea. has he measured the OBJ.
stacles he would confront? Is il
possible the American voter would
be as disturbed by a candidate sc
obviously drawn from fractional
labor ranks as by candidate
drawn directly from what Levi:
terms the "Wall street bankers"
Regardless of what the league
may mean in 1910, its leaders anG
the labor groups in general are
planning to press the next con
gress for wage and hour legisla
ton that will replace that upset
already by the supreme court ane
to bolster other labor measure:

that it shall be achieved by the
States and by amendment of the Fed
eral Constitution "if necessary" is
something around which the whole
debate may revolve.
Inasmuch as William Green, pres
ident of the American Federation of
Labor, has declared himself against
any governmental power to fix wages,
whether minimum or maximum, it Is
not likely that the Republican Ma
tional Convention will enter that con-
troversial area. Likewise, many wom-
ems organizations oppose a minimum
wage that affects women only. So the
approach would seem to be to insist
upon subsistence wages set by State
commissions according to the prevail
ing standard. This would mean the
exercise by the State of its own police
power and in reality the exercise of its
right to prevent an individual from
becoming public charge.
There is plenty of constitutional
power embodied in the States to
enable them to protect themselves
against the drain of continuous
dole, and if they stay away from wage
fixing and from determinations on
the basis of sex, 1t would seem that
the situation can be met without any
additional constitutional power. On
the other hand, to remove all doubts
as to where the Republicans stand,
they will be glad to go on record as
favoring whatever constitutional re-
vision is necessary to accomplish the
objective.
Judging by the present trend, the
platform drafting and debate will take
all tomorrow, Wednesday and Thurs
day. with the nominating speeches
coming on Thursday night and the
balloting on Friday.

They know that this new conception
it not merely an invention devised by
individuals. They know the new con-
ception is in part consequence OF
economic forces They know these
forces will continue to play upon
America no matter who is elected
President next November. They know
that America can only resist infection
and be held to its own tradition by
LAYING down long-range policies.
One of these policies is resistance to
monopoly, whether public or private.
The New Deal stands for a kind OF
semi-public monopoly. for Govern
ment-owned or Government-managed
or strongly Government-controlled
monopoly. The New Deal cannot be
successfully opposed by party which
tolerates private monopoly. AS between
private monopoly and the semi-publlc
monopoly of the New Deal, the Ameri-
can electorate would prefer the latter.
They do not like the New Deal type
of monopoly, but they like private
monopoly even less.
Would Preserve Small Businesses.
Consequently, the platform written
at Cleveland this week will contain
a strong anti-monopoly plank. If
Gov. Landon is nominated and elected,
this plank will be carried out with
serious thoroughneSs. 1t is realized
that preservation of the largest num-
Der of small business men and small
property owners must be almost the
foundation-stone of any philosophy
set up to overcome the New Deal. 1t
must also be the first line of defense
against the new European conception
Of society.
And so Senator Borah will get his
anti-monopoly platform. He will get
it not merely because he insists upon
it, but because it is indispensable.
Aside from the anti-monopoly plank,
it is not clear how far the Republican
convention will consciously defer to
Senator Borah. Indeed, the Senator
does not make clear what would
satisfy him. The convention, the party
