Republicans, holding the White House, are pretty certain now to have prosperity, the fact not the word, .working for them in November. The Democrats, already distressed that the GOP has taken out a lien on the peace issue," must begin to wonder what theycan do to persuade 30 or more million voters that a Democratic candi-date- 's presence in the White House is essential to the nation's welfare and safety. Seldom since the booming 1920s have, the Democrats had so difficult a task. They believe they have a strong case. But it just may, be that not even the greatest orator since William Jennings Bryan (if such be around) could sell that case to Americans who see the business curve rising and think the fever chart of. world tension is dropping. -- . d re- Economists and, business leaders evidently are honestly hopeful that the steel wage settlement and subsequent wage agreements will not exert undue . inflationary pressures ;this year; They count on racing production gains to offset such "pressures as do develop.
