Prosperity was just around the corner the business leaders said then. ' ' t ? ?? ? Those folks who talked about1 corner pros perity then have been against the policies of the administration ever since they got their feet back on the ground. Now they are crying for a return to those conditions, and if a balking congress in coalition with Republican leader ship throughout the country can effect a return, similar conditions are to be expected sooner or later.

The State udm ini.sti at ion and?some of the main business leaders in North Carolina have shown no cooperation with the national ad ministration in its efforts to help make condi t ii ins "fair". Contrary to the claims of many, conditions under President Roosevelt are not so bad after all. And then the State officials must have blush ed again when they refused to comment on the sales tax that bunions the least able to pay ill tins State.
