Records are again being broken in many
lines of industry, other lines are more
slowly getting back to normal conditions,
but everywhere there is the most optimis-

full employment for months to come. 1t

their wisdom and good judgment are being
fully vindicated. We are now ready for
the legislation of the coming regular
session OF Congress, and no doubt several
of the recommendations of the President
will be enacted into law.
Chairman Lloyd, OF the democratic
congressional committee, is very frank in
his confession that he does not know what
the democratic issue will be next year.
He thinks they will wait and see what the
republicans will do and then simply OPP
pose it. Well, that will be nothing new.
That is about all the democratic party has
ever done since it had the republican
party to contend with. The democratic
party next year will be as was the demo-
cratic party last year and every campaign
year for half century an opposition
party "a negative party. And that is
largely why it is minority party and
will remain so.
