has been tremendously distracting and
demoralizing to business" writes Jud-

to come from it, we might view 1t
with patience. But II business must
suffer these tortures without its funda-
mental conditions being bettered. then
certainly there is Justification for in
ststence upon legislative relief. It is
clear that relief can come in no other
way than through Congress. The ne
cessity for the establishment Of an
affirmative, definite, constructive gov.

"And another thing has seemingly
been accomplished. The people have
