That oft-repeated question which bualneaa ha& been asking the New Deal to answer can be answered at la,. Thle writer put It up to Secretary of Labor Perkins. Sitting In her htgh-celllnged ofllce In the labor department between strike conferences, she gave an un hesitating reply. . The plaint of the business man was repWWvto her: "Tell ua'tfSat Is coming.

Then horl- aontal, "onward" but no longer "up ward." The planners admit that the ateep climb made everyone lose hla breath; some their heads. A rapid change In altitude, thej point out, always results .n palpi tation. But they say to the panting taurines man, "you'll get used to It."
