N. R. A.

Agreements to abide by the terms of
President Rooseyelt's blanket code and the
spirit and letter of the National Recovery
Act have not been signed very generally
here.
How much unemployment has been
created locally is matter of conjecture. 1t
is too early to predict with certainty how
effective the movement will be. There is
much confusion, much uncertainty as to the
practical working of the scheme, Some
apparent absurdities have arisen.
Just as employers were grasping at
the opportunity to claim the advantages
of the code, wherein signers agree to buy
only from signers, along comes ruling
that the man-and-wife store of unlimited
hours and no wages can sign up on an equal
footing with those that pay fixed wages for
short hours.
Word comes from various unofficial
sources that newspapers are not subject to
the code for the reason that it would limit
the freedom of the press; but ob-printing
plants are subject to the code. That leaves
open the question as to how many hours
the employees of a combination newspaper
and job plant are limited to.
Signers of the code have certified that
they already are complying with the terms.
Yet few, if any, at this stage may be GER
tain that their daily purchases are made
from firms which have complied with the
code--a pledge which is as solemn as any
other part of it.
The administration of the act is so
gummed-up, letters of inquiry remain I'M
answered. A speakers bureau is organ
izing to explain and interpret the require
ments of the code, but meantime confusion
becomes worse COMPOUNDED as the code is
re-shaped by Interpretation to- fit the ne
cessities of special groups and localities.
Men of common-sense and generous
public spirit are wondering just how they
can afford to re-employ workmen to manu-
facture or sell goods for which there is no
market and at the same time pay taxes out
Of zero profits to support the several mil
lions who still will remain unemployed
This is not an effort to reduce the pro-
position to an absurdity. This newspaper
trusts General Hugh Johnson will not be-
come merely Bally-"Hoo" johnson, but
that he will put some teeth into real code
of fair practice in business-one which
so eliminates cut-throat competition and
duplication of effort as to make fair profits
possible as a real foundation for re-employ-
ment.
But if that ideal is reached and all the
small duplicating and unnecessary BUSH
nesses are forced out will that not create
still more unemployment and thus perpet-
uate the vicious circle? Who can answer?
The movement had to get started,
somehow. The uncertainties doubtless
will be ironed out soon. Meantime, gen.
erous amount of faith on the part of en-
ployers would dictate the ACCESSIBILITY of
signing up promptly as the first step in
serious effort to make the thing work
