¦¦¦*¦ by R. ftt. Holtr To put it mildly, the look today Is extremely eonfuaed. On the one hand, it is predletatf
that this Winter's domeatic merce will be the best alnoe with the retail sales In perhaps exceeding the figure. On the other, buaineaa lead- ers are seriously disturbed—Mie many of them are plainly poiilmlattt as to the trend of future evtnU.
ThLs anomaly is easily expUtnad. For. in the view of execuUvea, tiM -hort-term outlook is favorsble, •nl tne long-term outlook is t>ad. Pur« chasing power Is up, farm income ia at a six-year high, consumer gooda are moving rapidly Yet the unrett in Europe, the tangled political altu* ation at home, including the thre«t of more government In business, tho apparent certainty of higher taxes, til? prospect of still more serious labor disturbances, and the nervous* ness of security investors and specu« lators are retarding factors .
A.S everyone know.s, tlie stock mar« ket took ils biggest drop In years • few weeks ago Values are lar be- lo'w Ihelr Spring and early eum- mer levels. And while the stoek market Is not necesiarily an accural* barometer of actual busineas condi- tlons, it does pretty cloaely reflect the views of flnance on both blf and -mall levels, and representa credit, capital and reserve spending power. E.xplanations of the drop varied, and disclosed the opposed schools of tiiojght now in existence. Stock market ofBciaLs ascribed the collapse as being due mainly lo excessively strict regulating by the SEC, which 1.15 largely eliminated speculative op¬ erators who on the past could be trusted to take up much of the slack in thm markets Government ofBc- 1 'Is such as SEC head James Landis, who has recenty resigned to bt?come Dean of Law at Harvard, defended the regulatory policy, intimated that - ill more stringent regulation may be neees-sary. Wiiether the Landis' point of view Is right or wrong, such a piollcy evidently has a dampening effect on large industry.
.So far as the political ituation 1- concerned, all is c'naos. President Roosevelt's sweep around the coun> try. in the view of mOst commenta¬ tor- 1^ designed to give him a chance to meet and see people, to use his personality, and to enlist public .¦,uppor: in his campaign against tlie con.-ervative wing of h:s party. The Pi-e.sident. as he hxs said in almost so many words, ts now envisioning a "sacond New D.'al' wliich involves still furtlier enlarging Federal au¬ thority, new and restrictive legisla¬ tion dealing with business practices, n-otably in the field of wages and hours, and 3 les.sening of tlie power of the Federal Judiciary. There is still talk that a special .session may be called late this Fall, And It Is know that the Administration wlil present an amblMous and inclusive ¦'must' program before the second session of the 75th Congress, which einvenes in January, including re- introductlon of a Supreme Court packing" bill.
Evidence is not lacking that Mr. Roa-'Vlt's popular following lia.s di¬ minished—the Blaek Klu Klux Klan disclo-ures are perhap- the most serious blow he has received. But :: cannot yet be said with accuracy tint a majority of tlie voters are no 1 liger willing to follow his lead.
In some quarters it appears that war -cares have been exaggerato'd— and in otlier.s tiiey h.ave been too III jell minimized. A major war could not help but tremendoasly aflect American ir.dust.-y. whether 'we be¬ come involved as belligerents or not. Oaneral expert view is that there will be no war n'^xt year—but tliat there will be one in 1939. when Eur¬ ope's vast rearmament program Is more or le.s> completed. Ajnerlcan foreign policy hns >o far been care¬ ful, even timid—B.S it must We are in tlie delicate pcsition of attempt¬ ing to keep clear of war—yet having to maintain our prestige In the In¬ terest of American citizens and resi¬ dents abroad. Hot-head- criticize Secretarv Hull for what they think ia vacillation. Cooler heads generally approve his policy, think that he Is right hi seeking to feel our way geiitlv and  carefully.
T.iere Is talk of an entirely new tiro-r earnings tax on busineas. This cming on top of the present corp irat ion income tax. the profits and loss levy, the surplus tax and other laxes. niiglit make it Impos- -ible for business to maintain expec¬ ted dividends, even hi a time of lie.ivy orders. There is no organlaed movement behind such a tax, how¬ ever. Business is worried atx)Ut the aenernl tax policy, and about the oontimied governmont deflctta which will require heavy new taxes of .-om^ kind—unless an unlooked-for retrenchment In government spend¬ inK occurs.
In con;-lu.-ion, it should be pointed nut that somp expert.«i ferl that the present business recession Is lesa imp-ortani than it .seems; that the political tax -ituation wdl work out without doing too much damage. Best UU' ss Is: The ."(hort-term out- loik lor commerce Ls favorable, and tbe ioni;-t*rm outlook Is In the Upa if  th?  tfod.s
