WASHINGTON, Nov. Is Business
conditions throughout the United States

The passing of the election has brought
back to some extent the Non-Partisan
viewpoint which prevailed during the war.
Men are not So likely to express opinions
that reflect on the opposite political party.
There is the beginning here of a real APP
probation OF the big problems ahead.
For instance, much talk has been heard
about repeating the excess profits tax.
Congress will probably do something
about it in due time, but the interesting
question is being asked, whether the drop
in prices as well as the profits will not
actually reduce the revenues that have
heretofore been expected from the excess
profits taxes. Some observers have gone
so far as to suggest that for all practical
purposes the business situation will, be
tore long, have repealed the excess profits
tax. On the other hand, the federal re

and began restricting credit. Is getting
