Congress
WASH1NOTOK. Dec. 18. These
barka and yelps emanating from re
turning congressmen have no bite
behind them. Tou need not be
afraid.
The din will get louder as the
aeaston geta under way two weeks
hence. People with sensitive ears
may be led to believe that the noisy
gang will certainty behead Mr.
Roosevelt, repeal the New Deal and
blow greenbacks to the four winds.
Not at all.
A fairly definite Inside Una on
them is now available. Most of them
have been back In town long enough
to afford an opportunity for analy
sis. . The analysts Is all pro-Roosevelt.
Fnder-Currents
This does not mean there Is any
thing like the enthusiastic blind
willingness to follow him that char
acterized the last session.
The warm personal admiration of
the congressmen has changed to
cold political respect during the re
cess. There la a rather general
feeling that this la no time for
congress to start raising a rumpus.
Even the bettr class of Republl
cana share that view.
At the same time there la an un
believable mass of specific objections
to the NRA, AAA, PWA and all the
other alphabetical resuscltators. If
plsccd on top of each other, these
objections would reach higher than
the capltol dome. Possibly 100 bills
will be Introduced- the opening day
proposing to change certain policies
of the relief organizations.
The legislative wsate basket will
get nearly all of them. Here Is the
way the thing probsbly will work
out.
Money
There will be talk, talk, talk. But
no action.
The Inflationists probably will con
centrate on a bill to repeal the pow
ers given Mr. Roosevelt at the last
session. They can get more votes
for that than for anything else. They
may get a majority. If so, Mr. Roose
velt will veto their bill and they
cannot muster two-thirds to pass It
over a veto.
They probably cannot even get
majority for greenbacks. The Demo
crats already are beginning to whis
per: "Stand by the president." The
conservative Republicans will have to
stand with him against any radical
money measures. The Inflationists
will be left In the cold.
The only Item In the Inflationist
program which has a chance la sil
ver and the supposition la general
that Mr. Roosevelt will start a silver
buying policy before the congres
sional sllverltea have a chance to
force hla hand.
Money talk will be the big busi
ness of 'the session, the dominant
business, but It is doomed to futil
ity. The really sensible congress
ional practitioners know that. Their
secret hope Is that they can raise
enough caln to force Mr. Roosevelt
to give them something. Only In
that way can they get anything.
NRA, AAA, Etc.
Senator Borah haa in his sleeve
a proposal around which the main
NRA fight may center. It would
prevent the NRA from abrogating
the anti-trust law.
It may pass the senate but It can
not Ret through the house. Also
Mr. Roosevelt la ready to veto It.
The really serloua flghta against
the relief program will come In the
appropriation bills. These bills will
carry funds to continue the work
of the NRA, AAA, PWA, etc., for the
next year. All congreashaa to do
to stop certain work la to cut off
the money for it.
In -general Mr. Roosevelt will get
the lump sums he wants, but many
of the Items will be cut out.
Securities Act
It will be evident shortly that
the administration Is going to
change Its mind again about amend
ing the securlttea act.
Insiders have found that If any
amendment Is offered to Improve the
act, It will open the whole question.
Therefore the strategy of the liberate
Is going to be aealnat any amend
ment, even those suggested by them
selves. The act ts very likely to stand
through the session aa It Is.
Taxes
1 The loophole plugging will pass
without a serious objection. Nearly
everyone wanta to correct the lawa
bv which the Wall Streeters escaped
surtaxes. A strong move will be
made by Senator Norrls to tax hold
ing companies out of existence, and
It haa a good chance of passing. The
Idea will probsbly Include a 100 per
cent tsx on all except the Initial
holding companies. It Is aimed
asslnst such things as the Insull
Empire.
General tax reform Ideas of the
administration win probably wait un
til next year. Then Mr. Roosevelt
may suggest confiscatory Inheritance
tsxea snd stronger surtaxea.

The old age pension law was at
