TlfE EXTRA SESSION. There Is no evidence that members of Congress, either Senators or Representatives, Represen-tatives, are particularly pleased that an extra session will be called f.or November Novem-ber 11. They are pleased that the dat4 Is In November, instead of In October, as first reported, but they would prefer pre-fer to stay away until the constitutional constitu-tional date. Congressmen do not like the Idea of a President regularly subtracting sub-tracting from the time they have to devote de-vote to private business. It Is likely that the convening of 'Congress before the regular time Is to become more and more a matter of course. With our system sys-tem of committee rather than ministerial minis-terial preparation of legislation with inevitable in-evitable slowness, and with a Senate which considers tha lapse of time necessary ne-cessary to the enactment of good laws, there Is not time for Congress to do Its business In regular session unless adjournment ad-journment Is .delayed to such time as Washington becomes very hot and almost al-most Intolerable. Presidents, aa they contemplate the country's needs, "are more and more apt, as President Roose. velt has done once and is about to do again, to believe an extra session necessary. ne-cessary.
