U ill No Return Of Nation To "Good Old Days," Says Business Leader Houston, Tex. (ILNS).—W. A. Har riman of New York, chairman of President Roosevelt's Business Advis ory Council, interpreted the November 8 elections as a return to the two party system of politics but asserted that the country would not return to pre-New Deal conditions. Harriman, railroad executive, spoke at a dinner honoring business and in dustrial leaders and members of the advisory group. "I think the elections indicate that the people are tired of experimenta tion," Harriman declared. "The Wis consin and Minnesota results indicate that. But I do not see any indication that the people of this country do not like the fundamentals of what they under stood to be the objectives of the New Deal. I do not see anything in the elections to indicate there is not going to be as great a demand for social security. "If the business people interpret the election as being an indication that this country is going back to the 'good old days,' I think they are fooling themselves."
