It is the intention of the group te request the governor to make the trip and use his nifluence to the joint plea of the others, including the sena- torial and congressional | delega- tion from Florida in Washington. At that time it is possible, Mr. Porter says, that the visit to the White House and President Roosevelt, arranged by the minister to Denmark, — Ruth Bryan Owen, will be made by the entire group. Both Mr. Porter and Mr. Les- ter express the enthusiastic Basi jon that the passage of the Wag- ner Bill creating the Public Works program with the disposition of $5,300,000,000 for worthy pro- jects, greatly enchances the chances for the Oversea Highway bridges.

The inflationary authorization. voted by congress was plainly labeled momentary expedient. The tax- es ‘tee Proposed are to carry a: provision for their own cancella-. tion when the need disappears. It may be said that the securi- ties bill and the proposal for reg- ulation of industry have enduring: features, yet Mr. Roosevelt ex- plicitly described these measures as of emergency character when he recommended them to con- gress, and there seems to be no feeling in administration quarters they will provide permanent fed will start an upward spiral of economic activity, bringing the {country back within the course of |the next few months to a condi- jtion near normal. Incidently, many administration officials! think that hope is showing defin-} ite signs of fulfillment. Secondly, they hope the pe- riod of transition and experimen- tation will teach them some les- sons which will be of great value ‘when the time comes for perm nent legislation. Watching and Learning The effect of this purpose on current legislative proceedings is increasingly apparents. There is ho question, for instance, that Mr. Roosevelt expects in his term to accomplish a sweeping permanent tevision of the banking laws. Yet all efforts to bring such legislation to passage at this’ ses- sion have failed to stir more than luke-warm support from the ad-| ministration. Meantime, every| day, the administration is learn-| ing from the operation of ! emergency bank act now in op- eration. Unquestionably, one of the} thief occupations of the presi-| dent's advisers during the coming} recess of congress will be to ob. serve closely the workings of the} measures which have been more; or less hastily written on the! jstatute books this session, and| compile a laboratery report for se next session. + Im facet such a report jconclusions until it is far jcounplete, |ago will be revived under a dee’ already; cree re-establishing the once proud/¢itienal tax of three fourths of; s has Been started, but Mr, Roose-| palace guard.
