The Senate deadlock has now become chronic and what began as a mere flurry of discontent with the Administration has turned into a siege. The Democratic majority, being too large, has broken to pieces even more than the similarly unwieldy Tory majority in the British Parliament. The struggle with the White House of the past two months will continue unabated this week, with Senator Huey Long on good maneuvering ground in his attack on Postmaster General Fancy. The work-relief bill is only one of the bones of contention.
