A growing tendency, noted: by many ‘observers, to debate, change and, in one notable case, even to reject the plans and desires of the executive is fast becoming an outstanding phe- nomenon of this second New Deal congress. The atmosphere on Capitol Hiil these days is markedly different from the early days of the administration when, with a banking collapse to cope with and an acute emergency to face, the legislators passed adminis- tration bills swiftly and without many questions.
