Will the relief problem emerge,
after all, as the paramount issue of
this campaign?
Months ago many predicted it
would, but the summer passed with
out much indication that the pro
phecy would be fulfilled. Political
discussion diffused Itself over a very
wide area, taking in everything from
the Dupont dynasty to Commun
ism. Boondoggling was heard of
now and then, but mostly it re
mained lost in the cloud of words
about other things.
