IfL InJU A,iUMinr r IDTE K I : : L.Mt By PAUL MALLON Copyright, 1035. By Paul Mallon NEW YORK, Nov. 8. An Indefi nite prolongation of the "breathing spell" Is being predicted by some New Dealers In the cellar here who should know what they Jt are talking The o u r r e n t spell may have been timed wise ly for the elec tions, but, as they see It, the result of the elections was hardly an en couragement to open up again. Consequently, they expect that PAUL MALLON the spending budget, on which Presi dent Roosevelt la now working, will be curtailed further; that the left wingers In Washington will be given seats still further back from the lime light; that existing reform agencies will continue to move cautiously to ward consolidation rather than ex pansion. They note that, within the last sixty days, no statement has come from the White House which could be considered lacking In encourage ment to anyone. They expect none. The surprising thing about the na tion's business and financial center here Is that you find so many of the leaders hav a realistic viewpoint. Ordinarily, New York flies high in iuper-optlmlsm or crawl under ground In unwarranted dejection. This seems to be one time when many (not, by any means, all) are, Inclined to keep their feet on the surface, or at least try to. A fair summary of the personal outlook of those who are supposed to be wisest here follows: A few bankers lengthen their faces when they survey the government spending program. A small number have adopted personal policies of re sisting federal debt expansion pres sure. They are shying away a little from government bonds, but not In any serious way. And the most fear ful among them do not see any dif ficulties for federal financing In the next year or two. (They really seem to be more resentful than dis turbed.) There seems to be wide agreement that, if Mr. Roosevelt curtails spend ing, or If a Republican president is elected next year, their basic troubles will be over. Financial experts expect the gov ernment to use its various facilities to encourage credit expansion in the spring not before. If there is a set back before spring, the government might step in, but few people here are thinking In terms of setharkn. Nn monetary Inflation moves are expected for the next year or so. On these two propositions there Is almost unanimous agreement, but there are two schools of thought about what will happen later. One crowd believes business will improve so much that monetary and financial problems will become secondary. They already see that trend In recent de velopments. This is the New Deal view. and. in New York, apparently a minority view. A majority professes the opinion that monetary Inflation Is Inevitable in the long run (three years Is the most favored guess). The really smart business leaders have kissed the Coolldge era. good bye. They are the one outside of Wall Street who realise that generally ac cepted statistics no longer carry pre ponderant weight. The country has entered upon an entirely new and dif ferent business era. It calls for new and different metthods.

This Is the third measure proposed for pension pay ments the sales tax and gross in come tax already being in. Consideration In the house on the capltol conference report lasted leas than an hour, most of the time, how ever, being taken up by demands for roll call on every motion. The organl zatlon apparently was well planned. Representative Homer Angell of Port land would make the motions neces sary for the Inclusion of the Canda laria Heights and Ellis Barnes of Portland would Immediately move the previous question thereby shutting of all debate. Representative Clint Halght. on his feet most of the time during the pro ceedings but falling to get recogni tion from Speaker Howard Latour ette, got a chance to voice his views when he explained his vote on roll call and declared he was attending a "contonment, not a legislature." Private In Rear Rank Halght charged further that he was "here, not as a legislator, hut as a private In the rear rank." He protest ed the method the bill had been "railroaded by the power in the gov ernor's chair."

EYE TREATY POWER: Lawyers Study All Possible Constitutional Authorities for Renewal of Regulation of American Industry By NATHAN ROBERTSON I Associated Press Staff Writer. WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 (AP) The possibility of using the federal gov ernment's treaty making power as the basis for future regulation of industry 1b being studied by a group of NRA lawyers. They have been directed to explore every possible constitutional author ity upon which new NRA legislation might be based if the government should again wish to experiment with something of that kind. Canvassing the situation, the law yers have become interested in the broad treaty making power grantea the federal government by the con stitution. That document provides that treaties shall be "the supreme law of the land . . . anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding." Thla etause of the constitution reads: "This constitution and the laws of the United States which shall be made In pursuance thereof and all treaties made, or whtch ahall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land, and the Judges In ovcry state shall be hound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary not withstanding." Following through with that idea, the lawyers also are studying the conventions or treaties originating with the International labor organi zation at Oeneva. to which the United States belongs. Although most of these conven tions were negotiated before the United States Joined In 1934. and have not been ratified by this gov ernment, they deal with such sub jects as hours of industrial employ ment, child labor, night work, mini mum wages, and other conditions of employment.

(T) A new and Immense struggle over the utility holding company bill Is be lieved to'be an Imminent probability, especially In view of a Baltimore Judge's decision that the whole act Is unconstitutional.

If this should be the case, prac tically the whole vast Industry would be arrayed in determined resistance agalnut the act which grew out of the Roosevelt administration's attempt to "simplify" the holding company set up, to eliminate holding firms deem ed "unnecessary" and to regulate the remalnder.t Unless the securities commission could win the court fight. Its at tempt to enforce the act would be halted at the very start. Chest Fund Gain Made In Portland PORTLAND, Nov. 8.
