United States Senate
Washington
Feb. 11, 1938.
My Dear Mother:
We had a hot session this A.M. in the
sub. com. examining Mr. Jackson.  I have
obtained an admission that he
believes in the Prosecution having
power to select the [ ].  This
is contrary to Ango-Saxon tradition
that the defendant is entitled to
be tried by "his peers" and in his
own country.
Mr. Jackson is a fine fellow-
honest, sincere and something
of a Javert.  I like him, undoubtedly
he will be confirmed.  Before that
I want the people to know that
he represents more centralization
of power in Washington, more
exercise of power over the courts,
and coercion to put the New Deal across.
Love, Warren
