NEW NRA BILL
DRAWS ATTACK
BY CONSUMERS
Pending Harrison Measure
Seen Peril to Woman With
Market Basket.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ INES Special
WASHINGTON, April 3O.-The
question whether the consumer is
still "the forgotten man" has been
raised as a result of the lack of spe-
cific provision for his representa-
ton in the pending Harrison bill
for extension of NRA.
The bill, now under revision by
the Senate Finance Committee, is
being criticized publicly and pri-
vately by the NRA Consumers Ad-
visory Board and other consumer
agencies.
Emily Newell Blair, Consumers
Board chairman, demanded in the
Finance Committee hearings that a
clause be added to provide for a
statutory board to represent the in
terests of people who purchase
things. She argued that although
most of us are producers as we'll
as consumers, the two interests are
not always identical.
Trade Commission ImperiIed
Other consumer experts have gone
much farther in analysing the Har-
rison draft, reporting that they find
in it distinct perilS to the woman
with the market basket, and other
buyers.
Most notable of these suspected
perils is provision that the Fed
eral Trade Commission shall eXer-
else it's powers in manner con-
siStent with the provisions of this
title - This, it is said, may almost
completely Subjugate activities OF
the Trade Commission to NRA.
The consumer spokesman also
fear that an economy Of scarcity"
will be promoted by the provision
for exceptions from the proposed
ban on production control. In this
connection, the most Objectionable
feature to the consumer representa-
tives is the omission of that famous
fighting phrase-"monopolistic prac-
ticeS"-which the 1888 MIRA for
babe the codes to foster.
Concerned at Tariff Clause
The consumers also view with
some alarm the expanded provision
empowering tariff increases If
higher wages increase American
costs. A similar provision in the
present MIRA has not been widely
used, but pressure for increased rates
has started.
One section of the Harrison bill
provides for completed review of
NRA codes within 80 days after the
bill is enacted. But unless more
provisions are made for safeguarding
against unreasonable prices and
for assuring consumers of represent
tation, many present code policies
attacked by consumers will merely
be "baptised afresh-dOwn to the
last saber-tooth," in the words of
one consumer spokesman.
All consumer Representatives and
advocates are united on the neces-
sity of adding to the Harrison bill
a clause for the development by
NRA and industry of improved
standards of the products of indus
try.
The major argument of the con-
Sumers. as stated by Mrs. Blair to
the Finance Committee, is this:
''The standard of living for masses
Of our people is still shamefully low.
Yet there are available the ma
chimes, the labor, the technical
knowledge to produce the goods
which we consumed before the de-
preston. Our need is to utilize
them, rather than to stabilize pro-
duction at something like present
low levels"

SILVER POLICY
HOTLY ASSAILED

Except to Few Producers

NEW YORK, April 30-The spec

good neighbor" today continues.
Only the extreme dull citizenry fails
to see that the witchery of the sill
yer enthusiasts has so charmed
the government that it now supports
aggreSSively program of acquiring
large and useless quantities of silver.

tic silver the President has brought

80 per cent above the 1882 low
OATS cents and to ii per cent
above the 1926 average 1924 cents.
ManifeStly the principal object of
higher prices is to increase the in
comes of silver miners.
Small Number Aided
Yet, the activities of these enter
prises are concentrated in only six
states and their production is re-
sponsible for only $1,000 part of
the annual national income. It is
too bad that since 1888 other bust
ness enterprises have not employed
friends at court" whose melodra-
MATES would have been equally as
lucrative. Because it is plain that
for experienced lobbyists the task
of persuading the card-shufflers in
the New Deal to throw a few aces
ones way is as easy as saying
thanks for a legacy.
And it is, of course, unfortunate
that raising silver prices has worked
hardship on China despite her
Is per cent, export tax on the
metal. However, as long as another
objective of the brisk trading for
silver is to raise the purchasing
power of foreign holders of silver,
some allowance will have to be
made for the injustice done a few
million poor Chinese.
China WOefully Affected
But apologies cannot alter the
fact that by campaigning for higher
silver prices and Intentionally dis
regarding the effects elsewhere the
administration has contributed to
a % per cent decline in Chinas COM
modify prices since 1881, to re-
duction in her exports of 26 per
cent from 1888 to 1884, to a tight
ening of her credit and to the clos
ing of some of her mills and many
of her banks. z
InaSmuch as the silver buying pro-
gram is obviously ineffective in
stimulating a general business re-
vival, some people half-suspect that
the aim is to satisfy the initiation
airy appetites of the silver bloc. But
even here no great success is APP
parent. For no sooner were prices
raised to II cents than the infla-
tionists pressed harder for still
higher prices.
Silver Advocates dissatisfied
The Presidents proclamation was,
in fact, merely an invitation for the
Senate group to report favorably on
the Wheeler Is to l bill, which
calls for the compulsory purchase
of fifty million ounces Of silver
monthly-more than Is per cent Of
the world production in 1884.

Silver Advocates dissatisfied

The Presidents proclamation was,
in fact, merely an invitation for the
Senate group to report favorably on
the Wheeler Is to l bill, which
calls for the compulsory purchase
of fifty million ounces Of silver
monthly-more than 25 per cent Of

Adding more silver to an already
redundant stock is like adding per-
fume to violets, because if business
does not become more active the
unnecessary silver dollars are
doomed to pass ultimately into the
already excessive bank reserves.
Either this administration or later
one will therefore discover that the
government. like the boy Benjamin
Franklin, has paid a very dear price
for a defective whistle.

dustry by loading the banks up
with more funds than they could
lend proftably according to their
own conservative loan ideas. 1t Is
beginning to look as though they
were wrong in their views.
It is rather obvious that credit
can be restricted. The point up
until now was whether it could be
expanded. Some drew COMPARE
son between credit and a string,
which can be pulled but not pushed.
Credit is becoming easier almost
daily, as is indicated by the excel
lent manner in which bonds are
being absorbed at unusually low
rates. This constitutes a practical
experience which is rather difficult
to talk down.
business can not prosper by
ID easy credit alone, but 1t must
be granted that credit is decided
" important ingredient in business
medicine. Certainly it can not
prosper without ample credit. Con-
seuuently, while it would be diff
cult to guide the ship of trade by
merely controlling credit, the in
fluence of this control should not
be underestimate.
When the United States broad
ened the credit base through de-
valuing the dollar it opened the
way for excessive credit ln1ia-
ton at some later date when con-
itions would be right to absorb
redit in large amounts. The step
instituted potential danger
which the Administration appar-
emily now proposes to eliminate
through the control provided in the
banking measure.
1t may be difficult to secure a
Federal Reserve Board which is
sufficiently competent and courage
ous to take the credit wheel. Such
a board probably would be quite
unpopular if it were to put on the
brakes at a time when business
was booming. AnG if the board
continues under the domination CT
the President the question OF its
popularity might become an i'm
portant one In other words, the
board might have the power and
be charged with the duty of keep
ing to che middle of the road and
vet get off on a dangerous by
path. 1t might be better to pattern
the board after the United States
Supreme Court.
THEN, too, there might be times
Il when the greater progress
could be made by taking a neutral
position. An industry which had
outlived its usefulness receiving
credit with which to keep alive
might we'll account for some very
large losses in the end. And an
other industry which might be in
the making and, through lack OF
credit, hold back general prosperity.
Certainly it will require the best

BUILDING OPPOSITION, TOO

Because the winning candidate in the Third
Michigan congressional district had the endorse
ment of the Townsend old age pension organiza-
tiOn the effort is made to claim the victory of Mr..
Main as victory for the Townsend PLAN 1t may
be that. Even So little is proved thereby. Mr..
Main contents himself with saying that his election
will doubtless be interpreted in various ways,
both in this district and elsewhere in the country.
The Townsendites who said to be organic
ing intensivey in different parts of the nation are
expected to use the Michigan election as a club
over the heads of candidates for congress, prOmis
ing their support to candidates who agree to vote
for Townsend plan pensions and threatening defeat
for those candidates who oppose the Townsend
PLAN 1t is an old game The Anti-Saloon League
and other organizations have employed it. But this
method of battling for the Townsend plan will
build up a resistance as we'll as win over weak
kneed recruits.
Senator Mcclellan of Tennessee has already is
sued statement declaring that he has intention
of being terrorized by such tactics. He proclaims
fantastic and most devastating suggestion produced
in this period of depression" and says: at would
ruin individual effort individual honesty and would
destroy character in people; it would do away
with business, it would do away with banks, and il:
is doubtful if could manufacture enough presses
to print the money that would be required" This
is an example that the new methods of the Towns
end plan advocates are building opposition, too.--
