At the moment there is unquestionably a vastly higher percentage of liberal strength within the Democratic Party. Yet the grip of the Southern bloc daily dilutes that strength. In an age when the conflict over civil rights has become so central to our political future, I do not exclude the possibility dim though it may seem at this time. of a complete reshuffling in which the Republican Party would become the vehicle of liberal political endeavour.
