Can Congress Finish?
\ LREADY much talk is heard of the probability
~ of an extra session of Congress after the
short session which will end next March. Many
believe that it will be impossible to finish necessary
legislation this winter.
Much will depend of course, upon the attitude of
certain groups which have pet to advance,
others to oppose. It appears quite evident that
President Hoover will call extra session with
IRENE reluctance, at ALL but obstructionist tactics
pursued by those Senators of both parties who

of the day.
Amid all this welter of controversy it is to be

Preparations for all departments of the government
must be passed 1t has been broadly limited that
of these will be deliberately obstructed in order to
compel the calling of special session. Opponents of
the administration deny this but denals statements
of politicians whether side of the other may be
taken with several grains of salt.
&c. everything considered, the question of whether
Congress finish the imperative tasks before it by
March is very lively one.
