But they are not a happy combination for the New Deal, for today they rally the Jeffersonian away from New Deal Democrats. Every time Henry Wallace or another New Dealer asks more power, the Democratic-New Deal coalition shakes from stem to stern.

So far as that has been disclosed to us, it is a little of Mr. John Dewey's debauched pragmatism, a little Jeffersonian democracy, a little talk of the integrated state which the suspicious might call Fascism, and a dash of Tammany Martini. The idea that Mr. Daniel Roper and Mr. Roxford G. Tugwell could agree on any fundamental policy of agricultural adjustment is only exceeded in obscurity by the question as to which...
