SEEK TO GET GEN. JOHNSON
 FOR HEARING
Recovery Administrator Says He's Ready but
 Hasn't Been Called
By HERBERT PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-An ef- fort to get General Hugh Johnson before a Congressional committee long has been regarded by Wash ington observers as inevitable.
 The surprising thing is that it wasn't inaugurated at the very start of the session. Three months ago the odds were about even that the General would be on his way to Capitol Hill for a personal ap- pearance and lot of explaining as soon as the preliminaries of the
 sion were over.
 Aside from President Roosevelt o r' man in the administration has sed so prominently in national s'sflails since last March 4
 His colorful personality almost completely dominated the Washing ton scene during the summer and early fan months. His work was law and criticism leveled at him from both high and low places was dismissed in peremptory fashion

CRITICS WANT HEARING

Senator Dickinson of Iowa, a Republican, perhaps has been the most persistent critic of MIRA and is back of the proposal to get the General before Senate Commit tee.
 Borah of Idaho and Nye of North Dakota have opened attacks on the NRA and it's Administrator as well. These two Senators are fear ful that suspension of the anti trust laws is leading to dire con- sequences for the small business man.
 Borah says that since last Octo- Der he has received more than 5000 letters from small business men of the country, giving instanc- es of how the code was either em- barrassing them or driving them out of business. lie denlEids that the destruction of small business in the United States cease"

Algerian Farmers Lose
 Of every dollars worth of goods France exports, 19 cents worth are taken by her colonies. Of every dollars worth France buys abroad, 30 cents worth comes from the col onies.
 The colonies naturally want more of Frances business too. But the Algerian wheat raiser, hit by low prices and a bumper crop. finds a scant market in homeland that already has wheat surplus in its own granaries. The problem, there fore, is to develop in Inc colonies production of commodities which France now buys from foreign countries.
 France, consequently, is encour- aging the raising of cotton ban anas. coffee and rubber among other products.

'"The sales tax Is Q fairer tax
