SUCCESS OF NEW. | DEAL MEANS END | OF COMMUNISM
Jesuits Told Orders Come From Moscow to Smear
 the U. K. A.

South Norwalk, Conn, Aug. 30 of the MIRA | leaves only one alternative--com- munism, Catholic educators were | told at the annual Jesuit Philoso- phical convention at Manresa Is- land.
 The Rev. Edmund J. Walsh, Dean of the foreign service depart | ment at Georgetown University, declared Communism had increas- ed more than 300 per cent since United States recognition of So-
 viet Russia and that "The third
 1nternationale, in Moscow. has sent instructions to communists
 in the United States to Smear the
 NRA.' They know that if the new
 Deal succeeds, it will be the end
 of communism"
 The MIRA was both praised and
 condemned at the closing session
 of the conference late yesterday. The concensus was that the New
 Deal was @ partial failure because
 it had failed to protect labor and the consumer and that it should
 be improved and modified.
 The Rev. Joseph Thorriing, pro- lessor of Sociology at Georgetown University, decried the recovery
 programs Inadequate Machinery of Enforcement" declaring it lacked price control and its fail-
 ure to guarantee the right of col lective bargaining. II would not say scrap the
 NRA,' he said, "but I think it
 should be improved and modified.
 The MIRA is general step in the
 right direction-but it is only a step"
 The Rev. F. Fay Murphy,
 Dean of Sociology at Fordham Un-
 iversity, said he believed That ia-
 bor has been either deceives, be- guiled or sold out under the pro-
 visions of section "A (collective
 bargaining clause). must place a certain amount of responsibility
 for the partial failure of the MIRA
 to evasiveness and lack of convic-
 ton on the part of the administra- tion."
 In the opinion of the Rev. J.
 Parsons, editor of America, the
 nation simply was not ready for the NRA."
 He charged that so per cent
 of the code administrators "are ut
 terly opposed in principal to the
 work they are supposed to do. An-
 other 30 per sent. he added, even caught labor unprepared. "The
 crafts insistence on maintaining | the craft union is just another ex- pression of rugged individualism. Labor, said the Rev. Thorning. needs an overhauling. "The ques- ton of labor in industrial planning | will not be settled until there is | a different organization in the Uni | ted States", he said. Ut is ex- tremely doubtful whether the
 craft organizations set up by the A. F. of L., can cope successfully | with the problems of extending
 their affiliations to such industries
 as steel, automobiles, textiles, oil and rubber"
 The Federation was equally
 praised and censured. Tt has con- tributed q splendid stabilizing ele-
 ment against revolution" said the
 Rev. Walsh.
 Father Thorning suggested mod ification of the MIRA to provide adequate representation of the
 worker in each industry with equal
 voting power with industrial man. | agers; encouragement of formation of occupational groups in major | industries, with the privilege of subdividing into craft unions. and | a political setup to fit the facts of | the cranged social and economic order.
