Politics and the New Deal in 1938 press commentary
A long opinion piece surveys WPA politics, court battles, and 1940 strategy. It links Christgau’s dismissal with factional strains in Roosevelt era relief leadership, notes postmaster Farley’s stance, and critiques efforts to shape 1938 primaries to secure support for a 1940 Court reform agenda. The article discusses labor strikes, mutiny analogies, and the political machinery around Wallace and Roosevelt.
