Omttu FTeSS stan correspondent
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. (U.P)-An
important administration state
ment, coming Immediately after
the sweeping Democratic victory,
strengthened relief today that Pre-
ident Roosevelt hopes to pursue
successfully a middle of the road"
policy in the recovery fight.
Daniel c. Roper, secretary Of com
merce, in the first administration
expression of policy following the
election, emphasized that no sudden
turn to left or right as regards mon.
etary and other recovery matters
was contemplated.
Evidence that the administration
would be able TO hold congress to its
program was seen despite the cleo
ton of many inflationists and other
monetary eXperimentalistS. The new
congress will present a considerably
larger bloc OF straight away new
deal advocates. This group could be
counted On to support President
Roosevelt strongly in economic mat
ters.
Many observers believed the Ro
per prcnouncement and the oongres
siCral analysis meant that the
middle OF the read" policy would
meet no serious obstacle pl oviding
