The New Deal is tempering its course
and is being steered in more conservative
direction-more to the right. The Presi-
dent is talking of balancing the budget
and there has been a cut-down in Federal
activities. notably in the relief field The
sentiment of Congressman, who are wor-
ried by the stock collapse, is generally in
favor of taking cautious attitude A
continuance of this trend could do as much
as anything we can think of to encourage
business. and bring about a more favorable
situation

deficit for the year will be larger,
than the original plan contemplated.
AS usual, also. there is no prospect
of balanced budget. Year after year,
we have been told that the budget
would be balanced soon, and as regu-
larry. with one excuse or another. we
learn that this first essential Of good
financial management must wait.
This time the blame is put, in part,
on Congress. While one measure
which increased expenditures was
passed over the presidential veto.
there are others in the list to which
no objection was made. It is only nat
ural, however, that Congress should
presently learn the lesson of spend
ing, and that ii should be difficult to
curb a tendency which suits all too
well the temperament of those whose
career depends on getting votes
through the granting of favors at the
expense of other people. So far as can
be learned. there was no turning on
the heat to check Congressional ex-
travagance such as there was so much
talk of, for example, in the fight on
the Supreme Court. The most severe
repoof, in this case, is found in the
old saying. Boys will be boys"
The worst thing about the outlook.
as it is revealed by the last financial
statement, is that there is now ex-
pected to be, by next June 30. deficit
of nearly $700.000.000. with no pro-
visic2 for debt retirement. Business
has been improving steadily and the
country has been approaching a peak
of prosperity. Whether the peak has
been definitely passed. as the stock
market behavior might suggest. or
whether we are just backing down

The Administration is not consistent.
It requires by law that the industrial cor
porations distribute their capital gains or
else fork much of it over to profligate
government. These profits are put aside
for the proverbial rainy day in depression
days, yet the government inconsistency is
concerning itself about an ever normal
