TO END UNCERTAINTY

william r. McCombs. chairman Of the
National Democratic Committee gave out
a statement yesterday that suggested the
reason whyt President Wilson consented
on Thursday To see J p. Morgan and
announced that he would have similar
interviews with other financers concern
regard 10 big business.
Mr.. McCombs when he saw President
Wilson more than a week ago advised
that the President and leaders In Con-
gress decide on their policy of legislation
and theh explain clearly TO business men
what would be done so that the leaders
in tho Industrial and financial world
would be able 10 plan just as though
such legislation had been passed. Then.
Mr.. McCombs thought, It would not make
much difference whether Congress con-
tinued in session or adjourned.
The Congress has been In session
continuously since the Inauguration Of
President Wilson with the exception Of
about one month";" said Chairman Nc
Combs Yesterday. Those who are not
ottc. rart'ssns freely will concede that
tho Democratic Marty has made a record
of hr'iliar. r.~slative achievement.

Thee havo been differences in the
party as - legislative measures, as was
quite natural. In each instance the diff.
fer,nt points o. Wow were proper sub.
i"c's Tor argument Nothing thus far,
how'vcr. las happened to render the
party less cohesive unit.
Much discussion has taken place as
- whether an immediate adjournment
should be had and business thereby re-
lcved of the uncertainties OF legislation.
None can doubt that continuous discus
sion by Congress Of important legislative
matters without well defined programme
may tend 80 disturb The Democratic
najorities in the House and In the Sen
atc. however have it thoroughly within
.ncir power to cover the situation.
Having decided that certain general
measures are 10 bo passed, 1t is entirely
possible to agree speedily upon the form
