WASHINGTON
By Raw Tucker

September - You may draw any
conclusion you please from govern
ment economists charts of midsum-
mer conditions IN this third year Of
the New Deal. Rugged individual
lists broadcast that business would
boom II the president would let up
on reform. The doctors and the pa
tients never agree over medicine.
But the fact that the usual July
decline has not arrived to any no.
ticeable degree. June index figures,
IL is true, show little advance over
those Of the same month a year ago.
But the reaSsuring factor lies in the
lack OF q nomral July drop IN in
dustrial production and factory en-
ployment. Farm prices are holding
up. The agricultural consumer Is
rushing into the retail and manufac-
turing and mortgage market with
dilated eyes and wallet.
The administrati0n's game now Is
to make the most of this activity
with a rush Of work relief projects,
thus stimulating purchase and pro-
duction. That's Harry Hopkins job.
This push Is counted on to hold the
pace through August, and In Sep
TENDER the recovery movement Is ex-
pected 10 click.
Strong - Government spending
and farm subsidies are admittedly
responsible for much of this inn
provement. Folks receiving relief
and bounty payments have gone TO
market. But the principal explana-
ton is the rush orders placed by re-
tailers and manufacturers who al
lowed stocks 10 sag In expectation Of
a dull summer that hasn't material
lied yet.
Steel manufacture has leaped 20
the A per cent mark on the latest
charts. More than 100000 automo-
biles were manufactured III July, de-
spite large production In earlier
months. Construction In June top
ped Mays BY 5 per cent, and cen
strucHon pay rolls were up 6 per cent
Demand for farm implements helped
TO booSe industrial production. July
showed only a slight recession In any
Of these lines.
Remembering that July index fig
ures normally slip from 5 TO 10
points below June's. you may glimpse
IN outline of a midsummer dream
that came true from the following
