Liberal Union members last night said the Young Republicans are "like blind men, unable to agree on the shape of your party's elephant." The H.L.U. made the statement in sharp reply to the H.Y.R.C.'s challenge of last Wednesday.
The young G.O.P.'s had called on the H.L.U. to define in public debate, its use of the word "liberal."
The H.L.U. letter that definition "begins at home," and asked the H.Y.R.C. what it supports. It continued, "you can on the one hand grasp the isolationism of Dirksen and with the other reach out for the internationalism of Lodge. You can in one breath accept the principle of McCarthyism and in the next subscribe to the 'Declaration of Conscience' of Margaret Chase Smith."
The note said the Republicans were bewildered over what kind of Republicans they were, and have "set up vassal units in neighboring colleges and used piles of dirty laundry to hide wire recorders from unsuspecting members."
In a defensive paragraph, the H.L.U. defined itself as supporters to those men "who come closest to accepting the liberalism of the 20th Century as espoused in the New Deal and the Fair Deal."
