novel legislative and governmental trends of the new deal are just as s uncertain today as they were two years ago the report said laws specifically proposed as emergency measures with limit ed life have been declared by important members of the administration to be the beginning of permanent changes in national policy there has been a continuing conflict between such officials as to tc whether a new social and economic order is inthe in the making or the old institutions are being perfected so that ahat they may be preserved these findings were challenged by kenneth wynne new haven conn fred L williams st lou louis is mo and james G mcgowen of jackson miss in their theli minority lepor report t they said if the purpose of the resolution creating the special committee was to get the opinion of the american bar association regarding legislative trends designed to meet changing economic c conditions the report is sup superficial e al it does not deal with the problem but concerns itself with a short range attack on surface trivialities the sharp divergence between the two reports presages a conflict and heated discussion at the as meeting Ar american n track team victor in

recovery and public debt IS SECRETARY OF COMMERCE ROPERS department has just put out a world economic review for 1935 which contains many interesting statements it says for instance t tha h a t future f u t U i e business prospects are conditioned in part upon narrowing the gap between 9 0 v e rn ment expenditures and receipts it asserted that t h a t the government deficit springs spring astl from f r 0 m the root of A ansloan AP P sloan ment which is still the th p major problem confronting the country and continued most of the recent increase in the public debt has resulted from emergency expenditures which will be reduced as the nel need d diminishes at this date the evidences of need are still manifest saying the public debt has continued to mount rapidly notwithstanding the substantial increase in the national revenues the report added future business prospects aarein are in a degree alegree conditioned upon the possibility lity of bringing expenditures more in line with receipts and thus eliminating partially at least tho the uncertainties prevailing in hi connection with future taxation and other budgetary problems As to the part played in the recovery to date by the heavy government expenditures the report said this question is not easily answered but it is certain that such outlays have had an influence in many direct directions ons for example on retail sales on farm income on the growth of L bank ank deposits and on the prevailing levela ot of interest e rates the latter statements may well be ba compared with the report of alfred P sloan president of general motors to io the stockholders business recovery throughout the world in which the united states has participated Is being generated bya by a combination of various factors mr sloan explains in this country the automobile industry has been helped he says by principal influences only one of these he points out has its roots in the new deal financial schemes and he finds that particular influence a bad one because it creates a temporary fools paradise jn in which sales and earnings are ballooned by extraordinary government expenditures asserting that political extravagance has created a highly undesirable and artificial stimulus mr sloan urges that such gp spending ending be halted before itis it is too late t to 0 stave olt off disaster oil 0 11 men and companies accused
