Washington, Dec. ll.-tP)-Mind-
ful Of conflicts ahead. the admins
tration has begun to point for the
approaching session Of congress with
q view to advancing its program and
disarming dissenters as effectively as
possible.
Actual formation OF recommended
lions starts this week. At the front
President Roosevelt has placed treas
ury policy, asking his aides for con-
ferences on what the federal govern
nent must spend in the next fiscal
year and how to raise the money.
Whatever is decided. it will provide
the hub for one Of the many contro-
versies to resound In senate and
house. Involved Is the whole public
and civil works and relief policy, IL
Quor and income taxation, budget
balancing and the necessity for pro-
tecting national credit.
The part to be taken by the none
tary dispute depends primarily on
what happens between row and Jan
3. For days the government gold
program has been steadied, but with
no assurances OF sterilization i'm
pending.
More Recommendation Seen
| The capitol debates appear likel,
to be colored by presidential recon.
mendations for permanent railroad
consolidation legislation, stock mar
lket control, some possible alterations
in but not general revision Of the Sc
curities act, express federal control
over the liquor industry. ratification
OF the st. Lawrence treaty and con-
firmation OF William G. Bullitt as the
first ambassador to the Soviet.
Indications at the moment are FOL
a less determined bulk of opposition
than appeared in prospect a month
back. On the inflammatory money
question, for example, less Is being
heard here from those who, on the
one hand, have been insistent on out.
right currency initiation and those or
the other who would return to thu
old gold standard. This is attributed
to reports Of business improvement.
i There is no illusion that harmony
will dominate. however. Some Of thu
strongest voices in senate and house
Democratic and Republican, are be-
ing primed for opposition to Roose'
; velt and his policies. Both the ma
tional recovery administration and
the agricultural adjustment admins
tration will come in for their share.
President Is Confident
Still entrenched behind weight!
ma iorities, no concern is expressed II
the Roosevelt quarter as 1t looks t,
the same leadership that maintainet
last spring: Vice President Garne
and Robinson of Arkansas in the sen
ate, and Speaker Rainey Of Illinoi
, and Byrns Of Tennessee, in the house
!, McNary of Oregon and Smell of Nev
York, respectively, will continue t
, head senate and house Republicans.
Taking more prominent place a
the weeks pass will be congressions
elections next fall. With more time
: and not under the spell OF the emer
gency atmosphere OF their last meet
ing, there will be more inclinatio
among the legislators for frank an
full talk.
Into this situation. the first mato
I factor will be Roosevelt's report. Tha
3 he will seek to use 1t for all 1t
e worth, there Is little doubt. Tn
present inclination Is to defer fine
drafting until the last, minutes, I
