GENERAL JOHNSON SPEAKS AS
PRIVATE CITIZEN

AS he retired from the NRA organiza-
ton on October 18th, General Hugh S.
Johnson said, IF had the Job to do over
again, I'd resign the first day" No doubt
any other citizen would feel that way
about it, after having the experiences that
the General has bumped into in NRA.
Another statement made by Gen. john
son as he retired was in condemnation of
the proposed thirty-hour week, which he
predicted, if adopted by the country, will
bring depression that will turn your hair
gray" The General believes that unem-
ployment relief to be had through cutting
the work week further is so limited that
1t is not worth considering.
General johnson also believes that the
cheapest way to prevent starvation and
suffering in this country is by the direct
cash contribution system. There are many
ways to disguise a dole but they are all
expensive, is the opinion of the General.
General johnson said these are his opin-
ions as private citizen and now that he
is no longer public official he can speak
as a private citizen.
Probably three-fourths of the people Of
the country are in agreement with Genera
Johnson's views on the thirty-hour weel
and his opinion about the best plan fol
extending federal relief will also be ap
proved by many. A better system of worl
relief than the country has had should b'
adopted for those who are able to work
and those who are unable to support them
selves and unable to work should bt
placed ON the relief rolls to receive. suci

contributions as the government is able 10
make to their support
The chief weakness of the work relief
nIans of the government has been in the
making of tens of thousands of jobs for
loafers and in doing so much work that
amounted to nothing after it was complee-
ed. If worthwhile projects were selected
and relief workers were employed IN a
businss-like way, to labor as they would
for private employers, giving an adequate
return in labor for the relief received,
little criticism of the plan would be Justl-
fed In the absence of such plan, the
country is probably coming around to the
views of General johnson, that there IS no
better plan for handling relief than the
dole system.

Tor the electric light and power i'll.
lustry is now being he!e up until
after election.
The code has been approved
and lying around somewhere in
The White House since last June.
1t contained wage and hour pro-
visions which meant increased
costs for the utilities, but hardly
anything the electricity compan-
les had been anxious to get.
There seems to be sons fear on
The administrations part that the
code, although reluctantly accep.-
ed by most OF the industry, would
be used by skillful power trust"
propagandists and other enemies
TO support the charge that the
White House is inimicai to the
profit system.
For there isn't any way the
power companies can get together
and boost rates to Offset increased
costs. For rate increases they
must go to state regulatory COM
missions or the courts, neither OF
which have been very helpful in
that regard lately.
When the code appears. it Will be
found that the private companies
didn't win their fight to have
municipal power plants under it,
although Roosevelt will invite all
publicly owned plants to subscribe
to the wage and hour provisions.
THE theory here is that utilities !
shouldn't expect to raise rates as
long as they're paying large sums
on watered stock and holding COM
pany charges.
Meanwhile, the administration |
goes merrily ahead with an I'M

No one announces that private
companies are being bludgeoned
into reductions but that's exactly
! the effect Of recent statement OF
policy by PWA. This said that
where loan-grant money had been
allOcated to municipalities for pub
lie plants and private companies
had thereupon reduced rates, the
money wouldn't be handed out un.
less It appeared that a public plant
could operate successfully at lower
rates than the private plants.
While this meant that PWA
wasn't trying to drive anyone out
OF business, it was a plain implica.
ton that rate reduction was the
way to avoid government-finanCed
competition.
The fact is, private rates have
been chopped at nearly every point

cent.

also threatened drastic measures if
local officers should disobeY his
orders.
