According to Governor Landon business is not recovering because of its fear" of the policies of the present administration. Financial pages of the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and other daily papers, present a different picture, however. For instance, the Times is featuring a report of the first seven Class 1 railroads to issue earnings statements for June. These renorts show a 51.3 per cent gain in railroad profits as compared with the same month last year. A highly significant feature of the reports is the fact that this skyrocketing of profits was accomplished on an increase of 19.8 per cent in the railroads' business. The Associated Press weekly index of carloadings reached a new high for this year 74.7 as compared .with 58.4 a year ago. The total number of cars of revenue freight handled last week was 724,324, an increase of 158,822 over the same week in 1935.
