Outstanding as the holiday brings a sort of pre-battle stillness is the fact that the NI^A faces an all impor tant testing time. Laborious prepar ations for it i s about over. Dollars being spent will tell the next story. No Spectacular Order. There seem s to be abroad a rest less readiness, a welcome for the signal to go that Labor Day was hail ed to be. Nothing in the way of a spectacular “over-the-tep” order ap pears likely, however. Those familiar with administration plans, instead of looking for anything sudden, are prepared for gradual but determined going by the president on the path-he has already charted. The immediate objective is to boost buying power, (hereby making more jobs. An equally avowed goal ia a higher commodity price level that will mean most in terms of jobs, that will enable the farmers to be por- chasers of what the citie t turn oat. * These purposes account for much of the activity that ha t kept Washington humming since Mr. Roosevelt promia- ed at inauguration “to wage war against emergency.” The power* subsequently voted would be to ahow him the, moat powerful peace-tloM president in history. All Authority Given. Finding the country economically prostrate, he gripped the public un agination at once in March with swift and emphatic leadetahip. Amidst clamorous support for him, it was not long before congress felt impelled— whether it wished or not—to great all legislation he sought. When thorny questions came up, such as with inflation end ia federal economy, he had the legislators pot on him the responsibility for the de cisions that would have to be made. Those first three menths, momea- toug law* were enacted with e rapidity startling in comparison with sessions immediately previous. Meanwhile commodity end stock prices rose, em ployment started upward and nothing —notably the London economic con ference situation—was allowed to in- trefers with the broad path being opened. Of late, while the farm administra tion proceeded steadily with ha plana for aiding the agricultural sectioaa by slashing surpluses, the NRA has held the forefront. Difficulty was sur mounted, the biggest by interventions of the president. Statistics To Tell Tale. Now September sees the NRA plan on the eve of real trial—with statis tics due before long to show to what extent it has helped employment and payrolls. To encourage the cause will be the “buy now” movement, more warnings of higher prices to come, mere pleas to make purchases so merchants and industrialists can employ more people. OfUcial 8 are counting on the usual Tati Increase in industrial activity to shove the cause along. Also, the administration powers to ward stimulating business through in flationary processes are at han<j to bn invoked the more. While no official disposition to set a date is evident, jt is remembered that congress returns in four months. The legislators alway g bring their own set of problems for the executive, and tactics this winter may necessari ly have to be different from the spring.
