establish an absolute majority on
the high bench and one which |
could prevail until well beyond 1850.
That situation has been brought
about by Mr.. Roosevelt's nomina-
ton of comparatively young men.
1t is a paradox of politics that
the judiciary was the center of
anti-New Deal philosophy when
the legislative and executive
branches we're riding high on the
popular Roosevelt wave and that
it is coming now into the New
Deal fold as the legislative Branch
begins to slip away from the ad-
ministration.
With confirmation of William o.
Douglas, Connecticut, as an asso-
ciate justice, Mr.. Roosevelt will
have named four of the nine men,
bers of the high branch. Douglas
nomination was made yesterday.
He was promoted from chairman
ship of the securities and exchange
commission.
Estimated on the basis of average
age at death of supreme court
| justices, the New Deal should be
substantially represented until 1888
or thereabouts. Douglas now is 40
years old If he served until the
average age at which justices have
died, the New Deal philosophy
would have at least one spokesman
on the supreme court 30 years
from now.
Consolidation of the New Deal
forces on the supreme bench may
be a fact of increasing significance
as the conservative-l liberal battle
develops in 1910 and subsequent
elections. The court is inextricably
involved in the political event,
leading up to the conservative
liberal engagement. 1t was Mr.
Roosevelt's Feb. 5, 1887, propose
to reorganize and expand the su-
preme court that began dividing
the New Deal-Democratic party
Division now has reached the point
where a conservative Democratic
group including Vice President
John N. Garner and a considerable
number of influential - largely
southern - members of congress il
determined to regain party contro
from the president.
New Dealers contend, and gen.
orally are conceded to be correct
that Mr.. Roosevelt has won the
court fight SO far as the attitude
of justices toward New Deal legis.
lation is concerned There is rea.
son to believe he had won it before
proposing his reorganization bill
in 1887 because after the 1885,

During the last five years, she
