The colons read their mail with unusual avidity as a guide to their public comment 4n vital questions of the day. Even prominent business men here this week attending the convention of the National Chamber of Commerce focus their private conversations on the Hitler retort to President Roosevelt and its possible political implications. It is generally conceded that the German chancellor's biting references to Mr. Roosevelt taking unto himself the task of solving problems "for the world at large" will provide effective tidbits for the Senate isolationists in their proposed filibuster against extension of neutrality powers. DespWe the dominance of internationalist, Congress finds time to clevote to matters strictly within oiiir borders. There are distinct signs that Congress will take a fling at tax revision. It is reported that the House Committee on Ways and Means in which all tax laws must originate^vill turn their attention to this subject within a period of two weeks. Prolonged hearings on social security legislation have been concluded with the expectation that marked changes will be made in this law. Employers and workers alike are watching the trend on the Committee's report on social security because it is of vital importance to their welfare. An effort will be made to check the boost in payroll taxes, which becomes effective next year, because it is felt that the present two per cent ^ield is sufficient to meet any and all payments for benefits. Appropriations already authorized for the Federal government effective during the next fiscal year beginning July 1 call for tremendous sums of money. No sentiment has developed for new sources of taxes which the mail in the street would pfty, so the natural inference is that the government may tap the corporations again for a larger tax contribution. Government experts are considerably cheered over the prospects for better business conditions. Analysis of income payments for the first quarter of this year ending April 1, as compiled by the Department of Commerce, reveals a sharp advance in cash income from farm marketings and an expansion in unemployment insurance benefits. Income received by employees during the first quarter of 1939 was four per cent above the total for the corresponding period a year ago. Aggregate pay rolls in the commodity producing industries (mining, manufacturing and construction) were s%ven per cent higher than in the first quarter of 1938.

On the other hand, the A. F. of L. has led a nationwide crusade to force administrative changes. The Senate Labor Committee has been disposed to give the Labor Board certain tactical advantages not accorded to the labor and industrial groups advocating changes in the Board's procedure. The Administration has relied upon the; House Labor Committee to postponl* action on anything the Senate may do until adjournment. A counter-move by the proponents of the amendments has proven effective in that the House Labor Committee has agreed to go through the motions of holding hearings rather than have a resolution authored by Representative Cox, of Georgia, passed at this session.
