In aplte of zealcus woric on the part of ttie leaders of both branches, baa been returned to committee, and obvl- ously can not pass In Ita preaent form. No new experimental lofU> lation has been seriously eonalderadi The general attitude of Congreaa has been one of watchful waiting— the New De.il has not backtraeked to any extent, but It has definitely grown more conservative. Some tt the pending measures which worried industry the most, such aa tba 1« little-TVA's blU. are completeljf d ad. so far as their original ob« j ctives and wording are Involved. There still remains an extremel/ radical bloc in the lower House and, to a lesser extent. In the 8enat^~ but this bloc is completely oversha* dowcd by a conservative and middle- of-the-road mijorlty. A curious situation obtains in re* gard to the budget As Buslnsei Week phrase., it. 'taking the treaa« ury back to red-ink figures of two or three billion^ a year, is regarded a>- a certainty unless business plcka up in the next few months. New Dealers around the President and in Congress do not bother to include the 'unless.' But the President l~n't so resigned He haa had ao many reports of better business sure to come in the Spring, that he frankly reaards the pessimistic viewa lof miny New Dealers as an unwar- ' ranted a.ssumption .... In other words, the Administration hae deliberately r.>ver.s«<l the fiscal policy it has followed for five years, and has decided that the proper time for the fiscal reform has come. How* ever, demands for relief this winter, which are flooding into Washlngtoa by the bushel, from governora and mayors aa well as individuals, will be hard to resist Even some induatrial leaders regard budget-balancing aa suicidal now. feel that government pump-prlming must be used as an instrument in fighting the recession. So far as current busineas la eon* cemed the outlook ts mixed, with the deflatlonar>- movement still strongly in evidence in some lines. Tbere have been no big drops Utely, largely because previous drops brought thlng> down pretty cloae to rock-bottom. There has been some Improvement, but it has not touched all Industry by any means.
