Biography
Morley was born in
Religious Society of Friends or Quakers
.
From 1933 to 1940, Morley worked as editor for U.S. Supreme Court. Morley had written that Roosevelt "turned his back on the traditions and principles of his party and gave tremendous support stimulus to the move for a complete political realignment in the United States."[1]
In 1940, Morley left journalism to succeed
Judiciary Reorganization Bill of 1937 to pack the Supreme Court and that Roosevelt had a "debonair attitude of pulling tricks out of a bag."[3]
Morley was one of the founding editors of classical liberal Mont Pelerin Society in 1946.
After resigning from Haverford College, he continued his journalistic work at
Nation's Business. He published his memoirs, For the Record, in 1977. Other books he published after the war were The Power in the People (1949), The Foreign Policy of the United States (1951) and Freedom and Federalism (1959).[1] Also published, in 1956, is his utopian
novel Gumption Island.
