government service. ssHistory win say
about Johnson" says Mcley, that ne
found American industry in q state Of
chaos and left it with the elements
at least the beginnings of self-govern-
ment.
OBVIOUSLY the first job has been done.
Bringing about semblance OF order ana
government in industry was step NO I.
Stem No will be to create ways by which
the new laws can be interpreted and en-
forced. and to determine the extent to
which industry can govern itself, ana
what will be left for government to DO.
The personality of the fiery. genera
has played big part in this whole MIA
business. His temperament and meGnoo
were useful, possibly essential in the Iirss
stage. To organize shattered INDUSTRY,
revitalize it, enlist popular cooperation
and start business marching forward
hopefully in some kind of order and sys-
tenn, required dramatization. Johnson
furnished the drama, the punch and vlgor.
for the big push. The personal QUALITIES
and methods for that task were less vaiu-
able when organization was accomplished.
Administration calls for calmer ,Judg-
ment, lighter hand wider spread OF
counsel, larger capacity for compro-
mise. y,
Confusion and rebellion developed. The
time came when either johnson or MIA
had to 90. johnson himself realized the
situation and acquiesced. The president
wisely decided to save NRA, as the be-
ginning of what, under wise guidance, may
develop into a valuable, permanent part
of the American system.

AUTO WAR
Three of the biggest produc-
ers in the auto industry are
waging a hammer and tongs war
behind the scenes.
The controversy-not directly
connected with the motor vehicle
business-is a continuation of a
long-standing commercial feud.
There is big money involved.
The dispute revolves about
RFC Chairman Jesse Jones plan
for a partial payoff to depositors
of the First National Bank of
Detroit, the largest closed bank
In the world. 7
Under Jones' scheme, the RFC
would advance $83,OO0,000 to fl
nance a 20 per cent dividend"
to all depositors, but only. IL a
majority of the big depositors
agreed in advance to turn back
10 per cent Of their share SO
that all depositors with accounts
of 5000, or less, could be paid in
full.
Three OF the biggest depositOrs
are Henry Ford, General Motors,
and, Chryslcr Motor Co.
Ford, with $25. 0OO.O 900 frozen
In; the bank, is willing to accept
the Jones proposal.
But General Motors ami
Chrysler-his bitter competitors
are yet to agree.
Jones made q hurried trip to
the auto city last week In aD
effort to effect compromise.
What luck he had, he is not tell

STALEMATE
The real story of the Russian
debt stalemate is in the attitude
of the career boys who opposed
Russian recognition in the first
place.
After Roosevelt had ironed
out the main features OF Soviet
recognition last October. he
turned the rest of the dctans
over to state department func-
tionaries. Chief among these are
Robert F. Kelley, the man who
supplied anti-Soviet ammunition
to Secretaries Kellogg and /
Hughes. With him has worked
Assistant Secretary Walton p.
Moore, charming Virginia gen.
tleman but novice at foreign
affairs.
Roosevelt intended through
recognition to boost American
sales to the vast market OF the
Soviet, but, so far, Russia Is still
buying from Europe.
SENATORIAL CERTAINTY
John Winant, New Ham pshire
err n O r who Chairmaned
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-10-02

With the staging of the monster rally
in New Haven tonight at which Governor
Cross and Representative Francis L.
Maloney, candidate for United States
senator, are to be the chief speakers, the
campaign, SO far as the democrats are
concerned, will get away to real start.
! This is the first major offensive on the
part of either side, the campaign up
until now having been marked for the
most part by desultory fighting and
occasional sniping.
It is expected tonight that both the gov
ernor and the congressman from the third
district will lay down a barrage that
will set the tempo for the coming CAM
paign. Up until now it has been more
Or less hit or miss proposition, but after
tonight will no doubt be well defined.
AS far as Governor Cross is concerned,
it is safe to predict that he will make
definite statement on several of the state
wide issues over which there seems to be
no little conjecture, especially the all i'm
portant one of liquor. This, handled
right or wrong, to our way of thinking,
can be the democratic party's making or
undoing at the polls in November. How
ever, there are many other issues almost
equally important to the rank and file OF
voters, on which we feel sure the COVER
nor will define his party's stand.
TO representative Francis T. Maloney
will, in all probability, fall the task OF
tying in the local election with the accom-
plishments of the New Deal. This can
not, or should not, be overlooked in the
coming state election. 1t, has become too
deeply interviewer with matters OF state
not to occupy position of major import
ance in the campaign. Yet it is by no
means a toboggan on which the party can
coast to victory without an honest
endeavor to show that the democratic
party, regardless of national affiliation,
offers exceptional advantages to Che state.
In any event tonight's opening rally
should give the republicans something to
shoot at if the democratic candidates take
advantage Of the ammunition which is at
their disposal. 1t is in line of major
offensive, and that is as it should be. The
democratic party for once in its history
in Connecticut is in position to carry the
1 attack, having, as it were, the ball, with
sthe grand old party having it's back against
the wall on the one-yard line. However,
many fighting team has rallied from
such q position and won the game. SO,
too, the republicans may this time unless
the democrats use every ounce of energy
in their possession, even though they
appear to have the advantage. Over
confidence is deadly. Past achievements
never win tomorrow's victories. Now is
the time.

Anybody's Game

Once more the New York Giants fiasco
has only too well demonstrated the time
old saying, heard so often in the bleechers,
or along the side lines, tits anybody's
game. In plain language the baseball
game is not over until the last man is out,
OF the football contest, until the final
whistle blows. That is what happened
with the New York Giants this year with
an apparent safe lead weeks before the
final game.
We are not entering here any alibls, or
criticisms, of the why's and wherefores for
the apparent debacle of the what-looked-
to-be sure winner up until week or ten
DAVIS ago. That comes within the scope
Of the sports commentators, who by this
time have attributed it to everything from
naismanagement to lack of spinach
ii the teams daily diet. Sufficient for
Us Is that it's still safe to say that in the
realm of sports, it's anybody's game until
the final score is registered.
Perhaps for the good of sports in gen.
eral, it is well that such is the case. 1t,
by its very absence of the cut-and-drled
aspect, too evident in almost every other
line of endeavor, supplies the eternal In
terest that can always be aroused In such
= contest. It's very eccentricities, such as
were only too well demonstrated in the
case of the lowly Dodgers writing the
word fms to the powerful New York
team makes sports one of the few things
left where, as they say, anything can
happen. It is indeed redeeming sign in
these made-to-order times, when there is
rolnething left that can be truly called
ouybody's game.

Washington, Oct. 2-The Nreal
struggle over the New Deals
labor policies is not being waged
on the picket line, nor around
the arbitration table.
These clashes are spectacular
and dramatic. But the final deci-
sion on ,labor's legal right to
organize in independent unions
for collective bargaining" will
not be determined on these bat
tie fronts.
1t will be made in the quiet
sanctum of the United States
supreme court.
That is why industry, labor,
and the administration have
their eyes glued on what has al
ready come to be known as the
"Houde case"-1ikely to become
the cause celebre of current
labor history.
The case grew out of a ruling
by the national labor relations
board several weeks ago order
ing the Houde Engineering COM
pany of Buffalo, N. Y, to recog-
nize the independent. union to
which a majority of its employees
belong.
SECTION IA
The NLRB based its action on
an Interpretation of the famous.
Section Ia upholding the demand
Of labor to organize unions for
collective bargaining.
The Houde company defied the
NLRB, refused to abide by its
ruling.
The NLRB requested the NRA
to Jerk" its Blue Eagle, which
was done. 1t also requested the
department of Justice to prose-
cute.
This court test is now In the
making. At stake is the fate of
Section "a, the heart OF the
. presidents labor policy.
If the NLRB is upheld. the
decision will be epochal in the
history of American labor. If the
NLRB IL reversed, labor unques-
tionably will demand new legis-
lation of Roosevelt.

Mr. Corey, to begin with, sees the
New Deal and MIRA as the clos

than as the beginning of a new
one. He finds 1t a prop to sustain
a falling system-and, as such, he
sees nothing good In 1t.
Capitalism, he says, must swing
through recurrent booms and de-
pressions. The rate at which
profits increase must be faster than
the rate at which wages increase:
profits must be transformed into
new capital, and so the lands pro-
ductive capacity must forever be
outstripping Its consumptive ca
pacity.
