man who had money was afraid to

taken such beating in the last
three years that they are ready to
turn over to tho government the
resp onsibility for their industrial
welfare. This whole vast plan Is
simply O challenge to our inventive
genius. It presents a greater OPP
portunity than ever before in the
development of new products: to
be manufactured by new low-cost
processes; to bo bought by the
great mass Of people who repre-
sent the remedy for the ailment--
who represent purchasing power.

last night speaking from station

Mr. Creighton Is widely known as

Of world economies; and he Is O re-
cognized authority on big-game
hunting, having made several trips
to the jungles Of Africa.

that the NRA, In which he Is q
firm believer, was inaugurated- to
rectify an unbalanced condition in
production, and in addition TO- put
some ten millions OF idle people at
work.
=" is II working?' And will 1t be
successful?' These are questions
most soften asked today about
NRA," he said.
"It Is working, and 1t will sue
coed in direct proportion to the sim
cere attitude taken by you as an
individual, and your neighbor as an
individual; in supporting this plan
and In continuing to do so with In
telligent enthusiasm.
How do we know the NRA is
going forward? What are the out
ward signs and manifestations?
I'VE know It Is progressing raw.

Mr. Creighton then made his
assertion about 20 per cent and
16 per cent retail sales increases,
