Washington, Aug. 17.—Members
of Congress, packing their bags
and getting ready to start home,
are giving more thought to the
job ahead of them when they re
turn for another session than to
what they did at this sitting. Only
a small fraction of the President's
recommendations have been acted
upon at all, the one upon which
he was most insistent negatively.
Before acting on the ones left
over, the preponderant feeling in
Congress is that they ought to be
studied and debated with great
care, and when the members are
not physically worn out, as so
many of them actually are now.
Besides the last-minute laws
enacted after the Supreme Court
issue was settled, the record of the
75th Congress so far is not im
pressive. It adopted 55 resolutions
and passed about 250 new laws,
few of which are of any great
public concern. •
The most noteworthy laws and
resolutions include the following:
Prohibiting the export of arms
to Spain. Creating a commission
on the reorganization of the gov
ernment. Extending for two
years the United States' guarantee
of Federal Housing Administra
tion debentures. t Amending the
excise tax levy on carriers and
the income tax levy cn their em
ployes. Extending the President's
tariff powers. Deferring the
time-limit for filing certain kinds
of income tax returns. Providing
for a national gallery of art. Ap
appropriting for the elimination
of insect pests.
The new Neutrality, or War
Policy, Act. Providing loans for
flood sufferers. Setting up funds
for old-age assistance. Creating
the joint committee on tax evas
sion. The Relief Act. appropriat
ing 1,500 millions. Extending the
nuisance taxes. Providing funds
for the New York World's Fair.
And appropriating some more for
insect pests.
Prolonging the President's mon
etary powers. Continuing the
functions of the RFC. Arranging
for crop and harvesting loans.
Continuing direct obligations of
the United States as collateral se
curity for Federal Reserve notes.
Providing for retirement of Su
preme Court justices. Amending
the Federal Housing Act. The

Tax Revision Next Session
Hanging over, for consideration
on and after January 3, 1938, are
many highly important subjects
upon which legislation has been
requested by the White House, or
upon the necessity of which there
is general agreement. I
First in the minds of Senators
and Representatives is a broad
program of tax revision. Into
this subject enter so many ques
tions of public policy, as well as
of politics, that its consideration
may well take many weeks of
Congressional time.
The Administration is pressing
for the program of reorganization
of Federal departments and bu
reaus. Congress does not like the
President's plan, and will wait for
the report of its own special Com
mission on the subject.
That further laws for the reg-j
ulation of industry, under gov-;
ernment supervision, coming as,
closely as possible to the N. R. A., I
will be pressed upon Congress, is ;
considered certain. A beginning
toward the objective of Govern- j
ment regulation is the Wages-;
and-Hours Bill, enabling a Fed-!
eral commission to fix minimum
wages of not less than 40 cents |
an hour and maximum hours of
not more than 40 a week, in any
industry, under penalty of not
permitting its products to be
shipped in interstate commerce.
Budget Deficit Grows
One of the laws which the
present session passed without at
tracting much attention is the
Miller-Tydings Resale Price
Maintenance Act. It was tacked
on as a "rider" to the District of
Columbia tax bill. The President
had criticized it in principle, but
his son and secretary, James
Roosevelt, persuaded enough
members to get it enacted. The
new law permits manufacturers
to fix the retail price at which
their product must be sold, and
penalizes dealers who cut prices.
One of the things which this
expiring session of .Congress did
not do was to reduce the budget
deficit. The brave talk of econ
omy, with which the session be
gan, was entirely forgotten, and
the budget deficit was increased
instead of diminished, making
further borrowing by the Treas
ury inescapable.
The Labor situation began to
take cn new aspects in the clos
ing days of Congress, with the
rise of the American Federation
of Labor into its old favor in Con
gressional circles and the decline
of the Committee for Industrial
Organization, its "one big union"
rival. i
China-Japan Situation Tense
Both the A. F! of L. and the
C. I. O. are gaining in member
ship, but the reports received in
Washington indicate that the old
style craft unions of the A. F. of
L. are growing faster than are the
while-industry unions of the
C J.O.
The China-Japan affair is giv
ing the Government plenty of
worry. There has been no formal
declaration of war between those
two nations, but it looks like a
real war, and the puzzle is how
to remain neutral) and not let the
nation in which America is chief
ly interested—China—get the
worst of it.
The whole Situation, which
might extend to war between Ja
pan and Russia, which in turn
would give its chance to
start something and so precipi
tate the dreaded general Euro
pean conflict, is so delicate that
official discussions of it are
strictly secret and confined to a
dozen or so of the very top offi
cials.
They would be glad to see Con
gress out of the .way before things
come to a showdown, fearing too
much inquisitiveness which might
result in publicity of a sort which
would stir up warlike public
opinion.
