New Deal" with increasing obvi-
BUSINESS are contained in the latest
and final report issued today by
Donald Richberg, key man in the
Roosevelt NRA apparatus, giving an
accounting of the major Roosevelt
policies since last March
Under the heading of improve
ments in public service" Donald
Richberg gives an unwilling picture
of steadily increasing activity in the
interests of Wall Street monopoly
Imperialism.
Listing such activities as the APP
pointment of the Federal Aviation
Commission, the strike breaking
operations of the Railroad Co-ordi-
nator and NRA Labor Boards, as
public improvements, Richberg's
report is an attempt to conceal the
true objective of the Roosevelt NRA
as revealed in the Darrow and
Thompson reports, the speeding up
of Wall Street monopoly control of
American industry and the guaran-
tee of Wall Street monopoly profit
Fights for Markets
Richberg's report reveals the
tremendous efforts Roosevelt is
making to militarize the economy
of the country in the effort to
strengthen Che position of Wall
Street imperialism in the fight for
world markets. He reports the
work of the Communication
Commission in regulating" the
communications industry in the
interests of war efficiency, the
work of the National Power Com
mittee, the National Resource
Board, the National Emergency
Council, and the Special Advisor
to the President on Foreign Trade,
all activities directly connected
with the speeding up of war
preparations and the struggle for
foreign markets for Wall Street
monopoly.
Justifying the strike breaking
activities of the NRA Labor Boards,
Richberg's report states, Several
controversies of major Importance
in the past year have brought the
Intervention personally of the Ad-
ministrator for Industrial Recovery,
and in some instances of the Presi-
dent, whereby a number of major
industrial conflicts have been pre-
vented and others have been adj
iusted. The development of an ade-
quate, co-ordinated federal machin-
cry to meet all such needs is at the
present time one of the major prob
lens pressing upon the Labor De-
partment, the National Labor Rela-
lions Board and the National Re-
covery Administration"
Reporting on the activities of the
Railroad Co-ordinator, Richberg's
report unconsciously reveals its true
purpose: to reduce railroad employ
ment in the interests OF stock
holders profits, by stating, because
of the statutory limitations placed
on the immediate reductions in en-
ployment" there still remains room
for improvement in making profits
out of the railroads.
Justifying the criminal AAA crop
destruction Richberg's report calls
for further expansion of foreign
trade through aggressive imperialist
policies because of the failure of
purchasing power of domestic con-
sumers,' ignoring that it is the in
tensifed poverty caused by the NRA
that has reduced domestic con-
sumption. The stimulation of for
eign trade is especially pertinent 10
the efforts of the AAA," Richberg
states:
Higher Bond Interest
For assisting Wall Street imperi-
alism, Richberg lists the following
Improvements in public service:
the First and Second Import Banks,
the Foreign Trade Board and the
Inter-Departmental Committee on
Trade Agreements, all of which are
finding profitable fields for Wall
Street monopoly trade.
The report, aside from listing
false figures on the revival of
employment, revival that has
come about in spots mainly be-
cause of the spread-wcrk effect
of the MIRA codes, also reveals
that the Federal Government now
paws close to billion dollars
every twelve months in bond in
teroet 70 Wall Street banks hold
ing the bonds
