Growth Ts Predicted. So, whether the next President is another Republican or another :Demo crat, the answer to the fears of uncer- tainty must be sought in Congress and the mood of the country on radi- calism manifested itself last Autumn in the election of more conservatives than radicals—that is why Govern- ment officials, while expecting a good deal of conversation about business regulation, do not expect anything really disturbing. If husiness goes up or down, it will not be Washington, but other factors that will be responsible and, so far as the officials here are concerned, they see a period of intense competition but inevitable growth for American business.
