HUGH JOHNSON MAY RETIRE

The time is near for the inevitable
shakedown of the National Recovery Adj
ministration. From an emergency one
man agency created to function against
the depression, all reports indicate that it
is now about to evolute to board which
will largely determine in the light of ex-
perience what parts of the N. r. A. have
proved their worth and which will be
recommended to Congress as permanent
legislation.
In the Encouragement General Hugh
S. Johnson may retire. From the begin
ming of his man-killing task he has in
sisted that he did not want political office
and had shouldered the burden only for
the duration of the emergency. In recon-
mending that board be created to ad-
minister NRA until it expires next June
he asked President Roosevelt not to name
him, although stating that he was ready
to carry on if needed
This reorganization will be mo-
mentous in the industrial history of the
nation, perhaps as much so as the initial
enactment, for one was temporary and
the other permanent. 1t is expected that
many of General Johnson's ideas will be
the nucleus for the changes and the nation
can well hope so.
Many persons have disagreed with
the tireless administrator at times as he
plunged head on into one difficulty after
another The underlying theory of NRA
that purchasing power could be stimulated
sufficiently through the consumer goods
industries alone has been challenged by
economists. But there are few in any
strata who doubt the sincerity or fairness
of General Johnson in his efforts to adj
minister the act fairly to all-consumer,
labor and employer.
Perhaps one fundamental of the gen.
erals philosophy stands dominant over all
others and should be carefully safeguarded
in the reorganization: that to succeed in
the American way, the act must embOdy
industrial self-government to the fullest,
with always sufficient governmental super
vision to protect the public interest This
is a theory that some in the administration
have combatted, even though each de-
parture is a step further from the tradi-
tional principles of the nation.

THE KEY WEST EXPERIMENT
Tampa Tribune)

In an Informative article in the New York
ainisrator for Florida tells of the plight of Key
West and Of the plans of the FERA for rehabilitat-
ing the stricken city. Bankrupt, with 80 per cent
Of its population relief rolls Key West offered
a puzzIing problem when it handed over its affairs
to the federal and state governments.
Mr.. Stone says it is planned to solve Key
Vests troubles on the theory of 'help to all who
help themselves and without resorting to any
huge outlay of operating funds creating sporadic
industries or artifically reviving old ones"
The idea is "to bring the city back into economic
health" by using "tha local of the island
and the actual labor and talents Of the Key West
ers themselves"
Keeping relief so inadequate as to force
evacuation of the city, Mr.. Stone says, "woud
merely be transferring people from relief rolls in
Key West to relief rolls in other cities Of the
state, principally Tampa and Miami, where social
disturbances are already not infrequent"
So the FERA has determined to attempt to
tarn Key West into IAN exceptional resort and
tourist objective" To that end volunteer work
corps has been organized, and each citizen asked
to sign up for number Of labor hours per week
over period Of six months for the rehabilitation
Of the city. Enrolment il voluntary. The idea
proved acceptable to the people. On the first day
than 1000 signed to work an average Of "a
hours week, their own time and without none
taTy compensation. On "A minimum enrolment Of
5000 for "a hours week for six months il is esti-
mated that citizens Of Key West will contribute
3,314000 hours of labor, on the baeis Of 40 cents
an hour, which means a voluntary contribution Of
approximately 81 SOC, 900 The labor will be de-
voted 10 making the island attractive to visitors,
more iiyabe 10 residents.
Thus, Mr.. Stone says, "Key west offers
fair cross-seetion Of the sociological and economic
problems facing the country, It has become
laboratory where solutions 10 these problems may
be- worked out. All the legal. political and
economic powers are centralized In the hands of
the Florida Emergency Relief Administration. The
program, as it Is now being developed should bring
actual physical and spiritual comfort to some TO-
900 people who have suffered as few other com
u1nities have in recent years, and such relief viii
be thu result Of the labor and enthusiasm of the
people of Key West"
