TIE latest developments in NRA
may be summed up as follows:
AT the expiration OF exactly
enc year, the licensing" provision
which gave great powers OF COM
pulsion to the President, was al
lowed to lapse. Evidently the New
DealerS did not want to get IN"
volved any more deeply in the
lahor.industrial cartel-consumer
resistance tangle.
, We may be glad that the die
tatorShiD possibility which this
provision held out, has 0lSap-
peared. u., uo
; Ut is now possible to 'fly the
nllla Eagle" without signing on
tIae dotted line. In other words,
0roe does not have to, join a cooe
organization.
washington has learned that q
business man can conform to fair
and reasonable practices without
befnT codified, and that the pub
lie will not quit buying from hlm
merely because he remains 1nde'
pendent.
3-After much confusion and
wobbling, price fixing" under the
codes is ION the way"-out.
The idea now seems to be that
no new price-fixing agreements
win be sanctioned and that those
now in existence will be gradually
moderated or eliminated "in one
NV or another" Eventually, price
ffxing is to be allowed only IN
emerRency''-whatever that may
mean.
As we anticipated, it has been
found that price-maintenance tao.
tics tend to price boosting. and
reserve maldajustments and re-
tard recovery.
In general, the whole NRA
outfit appears to be badly dis
Organized, with many conflict
ing arrangements, an made
Guate personnel, and too much
dependency ON the somewhat in
temperate General. A series OF
attempts at reorganization have
been going on.
From the beginning, labor or
9anizations have sought to make
NRA a means Of building up union
membership and getting higher
wages, but have been suspicious
of other features. Groups sup
posed to represent the public as
consumers, have been hostile. And
within most industries there are
such divergent interests that it
has been impossible to get general
agreement on prices and other
policies.
Since labor has kicked over the
traces, the backbone of tn e
ScodeS" seems to me to have been
the desire Of two classes of busi-
ness men for what they call
'sstabilization." One consists Of
the big leaders, as in the steel
industry. The other consists Of
the men in overcapitalized situa"
tions where competition has long
been bad, as in the lumber in
SiuStry.
Such interests are now asking,
"tafter NRA what?" They are try
: ing to preserve the cartel-like Or
ganiZations which they have built
. I1p under the codes. They want
what they call "self-government, !"
!, stco-operation," and "StabiliZa-
ton" Unfortunately, they do not
seem to realize that if they get
these powers they win inevitably
bring down upon themselves, labor
troubles, consumer resistance, and
above all. Government control.

FOR RECOVERY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-P-
President Roosevelt, glowing with
good health after his Sojourn In
the South, worked Friday on a
unified recovery effort for which,
informed sources say, he may ask
congress To appropriate al least
$4,000 COO. 900.
There are two distinctive fea-
lures to this program, as outlined
by persons closely in touch with
developments.
/. 1t would aim to provide work
Tor millions now drawing direct
relief funds.
2. The government ". Id seek to
coordinate its spending into one
broad program in which the money
spent would serve not only TO re-
lieve present needs but advance
Mr.. Roosevelt's long-term plans for
a more abundant life.
Some advisers foresaw a central
fund. with a minimum OF $4,000
O00,G90, from which money would be
shared out TO carefully chosen
projects. A proposal 10 put one
central agency in charge Of the
fund has been considered but, like
other details, Mr.. RooSevelt'S at
titude on this has not been dis
closed.
Such varied things as relief, land
and water conservation, public
works, roads, subsistence home
steads, SUM clearance and many
other plans have been under dis
cuSsion BY high officials, but the
place OF any Of these In the pro-
gram may not become known def

witnessing and teaching have
been closely related in the found
ing OF Christianity and In its pro-
greSS. The true witness Is a teach
er. and the true teacher Is a wit
ness.
Here IN two paSSageS-one from
the Gospels and one from the Book
OF the ActS-we have i~nsistence on
the power Of teaching. Perhaps It
should be said that we have insist
ence on the power OF learning.
Jesus, In the passage from Mat
thew's Gospel, Is speaking Of the
difference that there is among hear
ers. Even a great teacher cannot
DO much for those unwilling 70
learn.
The man in contact with a great
teacher, who is eager to know and
70 put In practice the things that
the master has 10 teach, Is like a
wise man who builds his house up
on a rock-that Is. upon a sure
foundation.
Whereas a mGn who hears the
teacher, out who pays little heed,
and who has no purpose to put the
teachings into practice, Is like a
foolish man who builds his house
upon the sands, where the winds
and floods make havoc OF II.
