JUDICIAL PROGRAMME
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT’S EFFORTS FATE RESTS WITH FEW SENATORS ' Pres* Association —By Telegraph—Copyright WASHINGTON, February 19. Owing to informal polls showing that the fate of the judicial programme is likely to rest on the decision of less than a dozen senators, President Roosevelt’s supporting forces intensified their efforts to ensure the passage of the measure. The President called four opposing senators to White House for a consultation, and told them that he regarded his election as a mandate to enact New Deal proposals, which was impossible under the court as constituted at present. Labour’s Non-partisan League sent a letter to each member of the Congress informing him that it would expect every Liberal and Progressive member to support the President.
