Gen. George van Horn Moseley and Merwin K. Hart were held up to public gaze by Attorney General Robert Jackson tonight as examples of “men who are satisfied with democracy as long as they or their interests are in control of it.”

Moseley is a notorious anti-Semite, while Hart is president of the New York State Economic Council, which Jackson said was closely allied to manufacturers’ associations.
