Establishment of a general and uni
fed policy TO govern all questions
arising under N. R. A. codes and to
apply Blue Eagle principles to indus
try has been announced as an i'm
mediate objective of the National
Recovery Administration.
Such a fixed policy is desired, the
announcement said, as an aid toward
simplifying the relationship of N. r.
A. to industry" in carrying out the
terms of the recovery act. The pro-
gram, it was said, is to be developed
not hastily. but step by step"
Each rule, as announced, will be-
come a standard for pending codes
though not absolutely rigid Codes
already operating will not necessarily
be changed to conform to new poll
cies unless difficulties or a lack of
harmony with N. r. A. themes de-
velop.
THE experience Of the last 10
months" N. R. A. said, has devel-
oped certain rules which are de-
signed to give the best result to the
greatest number in any industry.
Application Of these rules or policies
comprise practical problems and not
arbitrary demands.
Such action is contemplated in
line with the theory that industry
shall help itself and it does not in
tend to unsettle a satisfactory situa-
tlon for the arbitrary purpose of
bringing an industry's code into line
with rigid policy"
