Senator Borah has written a re-
markable letter of Endorsement OF
Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of
Michigan, recently renominated with
| out opposition and a 1896 G. o. P.
presidential possibility. In regretting
his inability 10 accept an immediate
invitation to speak in Michigan on
Vandenberg's behalf, the Idahoan
says: II feel deeply in regard to Sem
ator Vandenberg's remaining in the
Senate Truly, his loss would be in
calculable, particularly at this time.
His great ability. linked with his tire
less industry, and above all, his broad,
humanitarian grasp of public ques-
| tions, make him Senator worthy OF
the great State of Michigan. I knew
Vandenberg long before he entered the
Senate We all expected great things
of him and we have not been diSap-
pointed. He is faithful in attendance,
efficient in his work in committee and
one of the bes. debators on the floor.
I feel it is in the public interest that he
be returned. And I think you know
that mere party feeling does not
prompt me to say this. 1 am speaking
Of the man for the place. hope to
be able to be with you before the Ides
of November"
What is ahead for business, both at
the hands of the administration and
| Congress, is the big question mark in
the present phase of recovery. No
fewer than five separate national
groups are now concerning themselves
with the riddle. They are the Business
Advisory and Planning Council for the
Department of Commerce, the Durable
Goods Committee, the National ASso-
citation of Manufacturers, the Ameri-
can Management Association and the
United States Chamber of Commerce.
| They differ on details, but are virtu-
ally unit in the desire to see ended
the uncertainty as to Government
plans, which is paralyzing enterprise
and holding up long-range commit
! ments. Mainly, the things keeping
commerce and finance awake at night
are the peril of imitation and monetary
meddling, mounting Federal expendi-
ture, the inevitability of increased tax
alton and an unbalanced budget Most
of all, big business Graves President
Roosevelt's assurance that experiment
| tation is over and that from now on
there will be less rocking of the eco
nomic boat. These various qualms
and hopes were unquestionably dinned
] into F. D. RS ears during his Hyde
Park conference with business leaders.

Even though Congress will remain
in Democratic control and under
Roosevelt domination, the legislative
| face of the New Deal is sure to be
lifted in many directions. Responsible
congressional leaders are now fore
casting changes, though going into
no details For example, Representa-
tive Joseph w. Byrns of Tennessee,
House majority leader and possibly
the next Speaker, has just broadcast
that the New Deal contains "a num-
ber of factors, some of which are
still cumbersome and which, in light
of experience, call for notifications.
These will be made by Congress from
| time to time" Mr.. Byrns also en-
phaSizeS that many of the eXtraor-
dinary powers now vested in the
President will revert to Congress
when the emergency which occasioned
them has passed" Revamping of N.
R. a, apart from the reorganization
developed during President Roosevelt's
recent conference with Gen. johnson,
will undoubtedly be one of the
primary revisionary tasks confronting
the new Congress.
