SEES SOFTENING =:

IN BUSINESS IRE

Stokes Points to Return of Warburg and Acheson to Party Fold.

BY THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.—A softening of - business wrath toward: President Roosevelt, reported here and there, is an interesting development in the final stage of the cam- :

paign. :

The eleventh-hour return fo the

fold of such New Deal deserters as. James P. Warburg, ‘banker and

severe critic, and Dean Acheson, former Undersecretary of ‘the Treasury, is indicative of a change of heart found elsewhere among business and financial leaders. : This does not mean, of course that the “Hate Roosevelt” clubs are

-| disbanding. Sunflowers still bob up

and down from the lapels as brokers compare notes of late profits and damn Mr. Roosevelt over their coffee and cigarets. 3 But a milder tone, even a’ con= ciliatory tone, is becoming manifest among many business men of small and medium size who hitherto. have

frowned on the New Deal, among

men of larger affairs who have a

broad outlook, and in the journals

which reflect the opinion of busi~ ness and finance. : Several factors probably are re-

sponsible for this indicated change

of attitude. i Faith Lost in Landon

Some business men have lost faith in Gov. Landon, as did Mr, War-

burg and Mr. Acheson, because of the type of campaign he has. made

—such as his condemnation of the

on been enhanced by the Ri that only a year ago Was fon ly s state-owned teleph ‘and pipe-line systems in Kansas, while now he rages against interference with “free enterprise.” - A change of tone, even along the Wall Street front, seems to be indicated in the current Magazine of Vall Street, as compared with an article in the same magazine July, a year ago in which the President was ‘called -“a man. of mediocre intellectuality” and “exaggerated selfesteem.” hia Ha ai “i NO Bogeys Raised The current issue takes the position that whoever is elected, business will be all right and will continde to improve. It does not raise a single bogey. “Soon the thunder of political oratory will be stilled,” it says. “The rancor, bias and buncombe of innumerable partisan speeches will be forgotten. The nation will have chosen a President, the loser will Yave bowed to the choice with good

i grace—and business will go on as

usual, neither fearful of political destruction nor hopeful of a governmentally planned Utopia.” The azine carries an article on the probable outcome of the election which gives the President the edge. Ti HE Business, the magazine says, will ‘be still better in 1937. It goes on: . “Why? Because the fundamental direction of the American system Lalways has. been forward and still is; because major depressions are but temporary interruptions in our path; because recovery founded solidly on the adjustments made in depression never stops short of new peaks of achievement .and well being.” ; There is also another factor in the changing attitude of some business men, & sort of bandwagon movement, acceptance of the fact that the President probably will re‘turn to the White House and that they ‘might as well go along grace-
