Business Replaces Politics
In Official Washington As
Harding's Inauguration Nears
Bt HA VHs LAWRKKCB.
WASHINGTOX D. C. Nov. 15.
Business conditions throughout
the United States are more a
subject of discussion among govern-
ment officials nowadays than ones-
t'ons of foreign policy or national
politics The passing of the election
has brought back to some extent the
non-partisan viewpoint which pre-
vailed dcring ths war. Men are net
so likely to express opinion that that
reflect on the opposite political party.
There Is tbe beginning here of a real
appreciation of the big problems
ahead.
For Instance much talk has been
heard ' about repealing the excess
profits tax. Congress will probably
do something about it In due time
but lhe interesting question hi being
risked whether tha drop in prices as
dl as in profits will not actually
reduce the revenues that have here-
tofore been expected from the excess
profits taxes
Some observers have gone so far
as to saggest that for all practical
purposes the business situation will
before long have repealed the excess
profits tax.
Credit BeettietfeaM.
On the other hand tbe federal re-
serve board which stepped in last
spring and began restricting credit
i getting to be as much a topic of
controversy as the league of nations.
1 e fenders of the federal reserve
board insist for example that the
country is witnessing a readjustment
without a monev nanic and that the
u&ard has been .fully justified in its
action by current aeveiopmenis in
economic fields.
Tnere has been much talk about the
export market in its relation to the
political situation abroad" and while
it la -quite usual to he&r it said that
