It may as well be admitted that the current session of congress Is here for a considerable number of weeks, This Is true for several res-tons. res-tons. In the first Instance, many of the members feel that they want to be legislators and not rubber stamps soy longer. There W no longer the overwhelming fear among congressmen congress-men of the President's power, Tbey have shown this several times Istely, Including the forty-nine day battle over the public works bill. Feeling their Independence again, members of the house and senate have begun to press for action on legislation carrying out their own Ideas. Much of this runs counter to administration Ideas on legislation. Further clashes are Inevitable. When there, are confllctlon of plans In congress you can expect to see a long-drawn-out session, and since this Is not an election year, there la no need for the members to rush home to mend the political fences. It Is not strange', therefore, that business as a whole Is worried about congress. The business lead ers tnemselvesfcsfst that It Wm strsnge that they are worried about the secrecy which surrounds the President's plana. The two circumstances, circum-stances, taken together, obviously serve as a brake on the wheels of Industry because now as always in the past business will not risk the last vestige of Its capital resources unless It can be assured of stability. While the Democrats, the party In power, are floundering, the Republicans Repub-licans . lie wholly U$el$ dormant Seldom Opposition ta m experience In Washington has the opposition party been as useless as the Republicans now seem to be. They are making no effort at all to gather foods for use by Chairman Henry P. Fletcher of the Republican Republi-can national committee in taking advantage of vulnerable spots in the Democratic armor. In fact, they have left Mr. Fletcher rather high and dry and when he attempts to do snythlng one faction or another shoots harder at him than at Its natural nat-ural rivals, the Democrats. I have beard expressions lately to the effect that Mr. Fletcher has a golden opportunity at band. He IS In the enviable position of being able every time he Is criticized by his own partisans to point out that the help they are giving him Is worse than nil and that criticism under such s circumstance does not become them. The thought Is that BIr. Fletcher, by taking the bull by the horns, becoming militant and mapping out a program with which bis wide knowledge of politics equips him, could become sctually the dominant Republican force in this country. Thus far Mr. Fletcher has sat back In his easy chair and has taken all the darts. Some observers ob-servers are asking bow long that can continue and the Republican party remain alive. ' Early In the Roosevelt administration administra-tion the Republican policy was to avoid criticism of the Democratic leadership at all times, Tbey de clared, snd openly announced their views, that If tbey criticized Mr. Roosevelt and his New Deal they would be criticized as obstructionists. obstruction-ists. If the New Deal failed the Democrats surely would place the blame on the Republican opposition. nut political wrltera here tell me that Mr. Roosevelt's political honeymoon honey-moon has been over quite a while snd that there Is, in their opinion, no need for the Republicans longer to stick their heads In the sand. after the manner of the ostrich, and see .nothing.
