The political horoscope reveals
j abundant signs of ifitense political
activity in 1933, but the reading
is not clear-cut and the forecast
speaks largely of events which will
be interesting rather than decis
ive.
For President-Elect Roosevelt
and the "new deal" it will be the
"honeymoon” year, when dreams
, come true and the cold realities
of inevitable trial and dissention
seem far away.
j For the Republicans it will be a
time of waiting and watching, of
prayer and fasting, of but cursory
preparation for the wars to come.
In a large sense, both major
parties will be undergoing a slow
transition toward a new order.
It is unlikely that ultimate align

although the year should produce
| some significent hints as to the
. future.
In other words, there will be
! plenty of politics, but most of it
| will be conducted out of the pub
[ lie view, while comparative peace
j rules the surface of events.
