Farley Attacks Liberty League at Miami Speech
In a direct, sharp address in Miami Farley, Democratic National Committee chairman, denounces the Liberty League as center and soul of predatory powers and an ally of the Republican National Committee. He accuses the league of supporting socialism and communism and of aiming to rule America, squeezing workers and wrecking the New Deal with tax policies. The speech references Alfred E. Smith and a Washington dinner, and criticizes Roosevelt platform alignment while vowing to defend 1942 Democratic aims.
