StuFard OF San Juan, leader In the

NRA CHALLENGE
To INDUSTRY,
SAYS SLOAN

NRA should be accepted by
industry as a set of conditions
under which it must operate per.
manently, but should be looked
upon as a. challenge to business
to establish higher Standerds of
efficiency and develop better
products, thus regaining what has
ceen lost, Alfred P. Sloan, jr.,
president of General Motors Cor
poratlon, told stockholders in the
semiannual report just mailed to
stockholders.
The objective of industry, Mr..
Sloan said, should not be merely
more favorable relationship Of
cost to selling prices. Real selling
prices themselves must be re-
duced, he declared, so that they
are brought within range of a
greater number of buyers.
Looks At NRA
Mr.. Sloan said of NRA:
Hours have been shortened;
wages have been raised; impor-
tant increases in the cost of
materials have had to be alb.
Sorbed. Increased costs have re-
suited not only from the direct
influence of higher levels of
expense, but through the indi-
rect effects of a lowering of
operating efficiency.
On the other hand, the eco
nOmlc influences of these ma
tional recovery programs on in
dividual purchasing power has,
in principal, been to reduce the
spread between the real cost of
living and real income. That
being the case, manifeStIy, pur-
chasing power is not available
to sustain selling prices COM
mensurate with increased Oper-
ating costs. The question of
the profit margin of industry
therefore arises, although these
adverse influences are partly
offset, at least in some in.
stances, by increased turnover.
This set of circumstances re-
fleets the trend of industry in
general, and although unsatis-
factory, should not be accepted
by industry as set of cOndi-
tiOnS under which it must
necessarily operate permanently.
On the contrary, it should be
looked upon as a challenge and
an incentive to regain what has
been lost, to establish even
higher standards of operating
efficiency, on the one hand,
and to develop new and more
favorable products, on the
other"

SPEECH, SILVER
MOVE, TIMED
PERFECTLY
BY LESLIE GOULD
NEW YORK, Aug. 10 QN.S0.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10 GNSO.
Perfect timing.
That is the reaction to the de-
velopmentS of yesterday that
stirred the financial markets into
great activity.
The Presidents speech, which
was not at all to the liking of the
conservative business and tlnan
cial interests, was just coming over
the tickers when it was broken off
for a flash from Washington an
nouncing the Matchmaking, that
is taking over of all silver by the
Treasury.
The result was a highly con-
fused financial district for time,
and before the day was over some
of the bears on the New Deal were
skinned up a bit.
Foresaw Speech
Wall street in the morning had
a pretty good idea what the Pres
ident would say in his speech and
was selling stocks. When the
speech started coming out on the
ticker, it confirmed the earlier
dope. Then, came the flash on
silver. This started some buying
and by midafternoon a smart
boom was underway.
The rise was based solely on the
silver move, which is general
ly interpreted as inflationary.
Actually the naturalization OF
silver is not in itself greatly infla-
tionary, but its implications,
coupled with the Green Bay
speech are.
Business and financial leaders
have been counting on 80 m e
statement or action by the PreSl-
dent on his return from his va
cation that would reaSSure them
and restore confidence. YeSter-
day the President said there was
no need for this, and cited the
individual who is demanding
"some message to the people OF
the United States that will re.
store what he calls confidence"
as an obstructor of his program.
The reaction of business inter-
ests is that the President went
out of his way to take them to
task for suggesting such a thing,
pointing to his remarks on a
letter from a big business leader
suggesting some confidence re-
storing words.
Await Return
While there is a general feel
ing of Encouragement over the
tone of the speech, some quar-
ters feel that the President will
make some reaSsuring moves
when he gets to washington and
finds the true state of things.
They believe he has not been
properly advised on conditions.
The Presidents speech does
not quite jibe with the recent
one made by the chairman of
his Stock Exchange Control Com
mission, Joseph P. Kennedy. Mr..
Kennedy safe tn e one thing
needed was a restoration of con-
fidence, and went on generally
to reasSure business on the New
Deal.
The Presidents words and ac-
tions will be closely watched over
the next three weeks to see
whether the Green Bay speech
indicated swing to the left
and the radical brain trust ideas
or whether he is going to fol-
low the lead of Mr.. Kennedy and
the Reserve Bank officials,
