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