Farley says he knows nothing of Roosevelts third term plans
Postmaster General James Farley in an American Magazine piece says he has never discussed the third term question with President Roosevelt and has no intention of doing so. He argues Roosevelt keeps his own counsel for 1940, notes past disagreements with the President but says they remain not a personal matter. He recalls Roosevelt’s discussion of Senator Robinson’s Supreme Court appointment and critiques the overuse of government press releases under the New Deal.
