GENERAL JOHNSON URGED
TO DEFEAT DEPRESSION

BY Jack DoIan. Shelbyville.
NV Dear General JohnSon-You
invited the public to express their
opinion on the new deal. You know
the public can mess things up, and
I trust the voice of a few multi
millionaires will not be accepted as
the opinion of the general public.
Dr. H. H. Goddard, professor of
abnormal psychology at the Ohio
State university, after years of sta
tistical research, has pronounced
one-half The people morons, and
said it is the duty of the other half
to care for them.
After the experience you have had
in the last few months you probably
agree with DR.. Goddard, ard from
the reports you get from big bust
ness it is safe bet that you know
the morons are not all in the bread
line.
Now, General, be yourself. You
are an able man; you appreciate the
value of opportunities; yOL know
they are rare and mystifying. You
have the opportunity now. Are you
going to let it get away? You may
feel that you lost the first Sklrmish.
If so, don't let that discourage you.
Washington lost several skl1misheS
before ne won the final victory. You
have expressed yourself and we
know you are familiar With condi-
lions. Because your responsibility is
great that is the more reason you
should execute your convictions.
You know the whole economic
structure has broken down. You
are at the controls-it is up to you
to make safe landing.
A glance at government statistics
will show more than 500 men paid
income tax on more than million
dollars
We have heard you say the pros
perity of the country depends on
the purchasing power of the people.
You know that Is per cent is not
enough, or half enough. You know
the requirements of the country will
not permit the industries to intelli-
gently absorb all the workers thir-
ty-hour week. We are travelling fast,
your job is big and you have but
short time to do it.
Step on it; let's go.

mental worries during his term Of
office. He will leave a clean page
when his time comes to depart
He has grace, poise, and intelli-
gence with which to handle his
problems, and these are needed to
lift him above petty points of view
I am Hoosier, and love the In
diana state, and think we try to
select the capable men to fill this
Office. Mr. McNutt's parents are
still living and are honorable and
adorable. I have known who they
were all my life. They are not per-
sonal friends, we just lived in the
same town-Martinsville.
Now, let's join hands and give
him boost to carry his course Of
the journey with good luck.
This is not for political favor.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-03-01
THE FIRST ROUNDUP

A T the first roundup of NRA critics. which
\ began in Washington Tuesday, General
johnson was not unseated. Riding harder and
shouting louder. he kept well out in front of
his opponents.
BY stating most of the objections before the
critics got chance, and by admitting in adj
vance the justice of many of the attacks. he
became master of the situation. And then, by
announcing a series of reforms with which he
proposes to meet the criticisms the General
remained on top.
1t was brilliant performance. If this were
merely a debating society the colorful and
swift-strikng administrator would win hands
down.
But it is not so simple as that. Verbal vic
tories are not enough. And the Generals list OF
proposed reforms turns out on closer examina-
ton to be mostly cancellations, which may
mean much or little, depending on how they
are applied.
Here is the list:
A more uniform and equitable rule of price
sterilization where necessary to maintain
wages against cut-throat competition and
further insurance against prices rising faster
than purchasing power
A more effective -ule on costs to prevent
sales below production costs.
Uniformity of wages and hours in competi-
tive industries.
Uniformity of north-south code diferen-
tials
Shorter hours and higher wages.
Protection of small business against mo-
nopoly.
An improved method for better code COM
pliance.
Financing code administration without
racketeering.
Elimination of conflicting provisions among
codes.
Labor and consumer representation on code
authorities.
Wider use of mechanism for settling labor
disputes.
Granted that this general list fairly well
covers the field of criticism and that many
details Oan not be filed i'll untA after the
code revision conferences which begin March
: the General was needlessly vague COM
corning administration policy. Only on one
controversial issue was he specific. and in
that he sided against labor and the con-
sumner bV StaUng Ltlal iIleu REPRESENTATION
IN the powerful code authorities should be
only advisory.
We believe that the consumer has had
raw deal from the beginning at NRA, and we
fear that the General. with all of his sack
cloth and ashes, is not yet correcting this
abuse.
The second major defect is NRAs con-
tinuing failure to protect labor in its right
to organize.
There is something more important than
revision of the codes. 1t is the enforcement
Of existing codes. Much of the talk about re-
form will remain only talk until General
Johnson improves the personnel that admin
listers MIRA and the codes. There are still
too many in key positions who are not in
sympathy with the purpose of the law.
Thus We add our criticism to the general
chorus in which even the General joins. But
in doing so We 90 not want to be classed with
those who favor turning back. We believe so
thoroughly in the purpose of NRA We want
II to 90 forward.

HIS OPINION OF THE

I wish to register a complaint re-
garding the sign in almost all the
street cars and buses of the IN
dianapolis Railways, which, in part,

you in every way possible.
have requested several operators
of the said street cars and buses to
assist me with the loan of SIS and,
though they all were very polite,
they did not loan me the five bucks.
Please take this up with the Off
Gals of the indianapolis Railways
and try to have them furnish the SIS
to operators for assisting passen-
gers, as per notice.
P. S.-This communication to you

I see by a leading paper where
Senator Arthur Robinson is terribly
afraid that the Constitution is GO
ing to crumble.
I would like to say that forty
thousand employees are trying to
straighten out the scandals of the

he speaks Of won't be so high.
And, if they can't do it, maybe
the invisible empire can.

CWA WORKERS FAMILIES

I would be very glad if you would

the losses themselves, they make
the employe do so. They take the
work at prices they can't possibly
make out on and pay wages. They
do not intend to pay wages when
they take the work. The employe
hardly is in a position to argue his
own case. He just obeys orders so
he won't lose his job.
There were men working in this
city for as low as ST day. The top
wage right now is $40 a week. Few
make near that.
Speed work, without proper
safety, and low wages are directly
responsible for the injuries to Mr..
Wheeler.

Oh, | Am Old
~ HAROLD FRENCH

BY HAROLD FRENCH
I'm going to walk the woods tonight,
Won't you come too?
I'm going to cross McCormack's
brook
Where it's easiest to.
I am going to wander up the path
1t has been long, you know,
And may stumble once or twice
AS I go.
But I recall the sharpest turns
And then, we walked so much be-
fore:
1t may seem like old times again
But that I'm walking slower.
Today's the first of many days
I've wished to hurry through;
I'm going 10 walk the woods to-
night,
Won't yoC come too?

DID you imagine in 1928 or 1881
- the day would ever come
when Charles Lindbergh would be
criticised from coast to coast?
Probably not.
Yesterday Lindbergh was our
hero. There was nothing too
laudatory for us to say about him,
no lengths to which he would not
go to prove our alteration. To-
day Franklin Roosevelt fills the
hero's shoes and thousands Of us
are yapping like hounds at Lind
bergh's heels.
1t is a dangerous, cruel, tragic
thing to be a hero in any country.
Public love and public hate are
akin; only a hairs breadth sepa-
rates them. Like services we adore,
ike fanatics we Willy; and our
affection and alteration which we
swear to be eternal is as vacillat-
