Little Comfort Ahead

IN influential circles little comfort is expected
from the Supreme Court as now constituted.
That it will uphold antiutility legislation is gen.
orally expected. Such an adverse ruling may be
somewhat offset, sentimentally by favorable
railway decision by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Both should come any day.
Men of large affairs having given up all hope
of cooperation from the White House, are turn
ing to Congress as the main bulwark against
misunderstanding New Deal aspirations.
But, analyzing the whole situation, the dis
comforting conclusion impeled is that it is
likely to take something more than merely check
mating of drastic Presidential plans by Congress
to start the nation vigorously on the up-track.
