not for labor unsettlement in the
automotive industry which is be-
coming increasingly ominous."
The only other cloud in the
horizon, the survey declares, is
the demand in Washington for
further curtailment of working
hours at higher rates of pay.
In addition to accelerated pro-
duction in most lines, the review
notes the performance Of scrap
prices as reflecting the highly
optimistic feeling in the industry.
Advances in Chicago and Phila-
delphia are cited as carrying the
Iron Age composite for heavy
melting steel up to 1892 a gross
ton from 1892 a week ago.
Steel ingot production last
month averaged 25.3 per cent
over January as compared with
a gain of ISL per cent in pig

and the dutiable 1ists; and (2)
that Congress may in three years
repeal the measure.
The background for this pro
posal is found partly in the agr1-
cultural schemes Of Secretary
Wallace, who has recently argued
for tariff reductions in order to
enable foreigners to buy our
wheat. cotton, and tobacco. But
probably the demand for 1t comes
partly from a desire to deal with
retaliations being adopted against
our devaluation of the dollar,
which has tended to stimulate
our exports.
The Administrators activity
in setting up banks to finance ex-
! rts, has been apparent Of late.
Several questions at once arise:
l. Is this truly an "emer-
gency" measure, as the Admin
iStration claims? Each fresh
grant Of sweeping power has
been demanded on that ground.
AS in the case of the stock
exchange bill, this one begins
with a long argument which

proposes to remedy everything
from unemployment to a lack
of balance among industries.
In his message, the President
says that the measure is now op-
perfume and necessary because
world trade has declined sharply
and has thus made recovery
plans difficult. But when was
this discovered! The decline

their good treatment along. At
any rate, three cats just suddenly
showed up there and as Mrs.
