Progressives Call For Roosevelt Policy Revival
Chicago delegates at the Conference of Progressives urge a return to New Deal principles. Leaders including Morgenthau, Ickes, and Kroll condemn the 79th Congress as betraying the people and press for action on social security, TVA projects, and labor rights while opposing imperialism and armament growth. They reject a third party and favor targeted support for progressive Congressional candidates.
