WHAT or THE SRA i DECISION
BY Delmer Hubbell
The National Republican
Builders, Inc.

The President is trying to max,
out that the NRA decision has De
prived the people Of something the!
need.
He implies that the decision inter
feres with the solution of our eco,
nomic difficulties.
What is this cure-all OF which the
Supreme Court has deprived us? VIZ
know that the NRA taken as a whole
was a failure. Every competent OBJ
served in Washington admitted It
Congress would have refused t.
pass a new NRA law unlimited In
/ time. A majority Of the Senate was
against extension beyond next
/ April.
What smashed the NRA was the
thing itself 1t sagged under its own
prOdigiOus bureaucratic obesity. The
Supreme Court did not smash NRA.
Human nature did The law OF eco
nOmic life did. II committed sui
eide by its own excess.
The Supreme Court had nothing
to do with the basic problems which
MIRA attempted to solve. The Court
does not say that the Nation can not
solve those problems. Il does not
deprive the people of an opportunity
to solve them.
What the Court said was that they
could not be solved in Mr.. ROOse-
velt's pet way.
What the Court said was, that in
attempting to do anything, the New
Dealers must not make the attempt
in such a way that our form OF gov.
ernment will be undermined, that a
despOtism will be set up, that gov
eminent Itself will break down un-
der its own huge and sprawling
weight
There was some good in NRA. We
still have the profile moi bringing
the degree OF law and order into
our economic life that the individual
enjoys in his civil life.
The Court has merely said that in
our efforts to do this we must not
destroy the Constitution.
And what is this Constitution the
Court thus defends? The Radicals,
the Communists, the New Dealers
will attempt to make out that 1t is
an Outgrown garment which the peO-
pie no longer need.
But the people know that the Con-
stitutiOn is our last defense against
the sort of despOtism that exists in
Europe. Had the NRA worked out
as its New Deal hackers hoped 1t
would, the United States would now
be ruled by an autocracy. The next
step would have been Dictatorship.
Thus the Constitution far from be-
ing an OutwOrn garment, is suit of
chain armor, protection against
Constitutional incompetence, eXecd- |
live dictatorship and mob passions.
OF course we can solve our eco
nOmic problems. But in doing so let |
us not set up a form of government |
which will produce evils far worse
than the ones we are trying to elm
mate.
One way not to cure measles is to
the patient with small
box. That, in effect, is what the Su-
Dreme Court has told the New Deal. |

"A Vote For Industrial
Strife


What happened when the Federal
Government attempted to interfere
Ii local labor relations BY enacting
Section 7(a} Of the Recovery Act IN
history. There was a period Of in-
dustrial strife and costly strikes
which virtually halted recovery Un-
ion organizers sought to use the law
as sprinsing board to compel un-
l0nizatiOn Of all industries. They
were unable to dupe free American
workers.
Now there is pending a new bill
to accomplish what the organizers
failed to get before. The Wagner
Labor Disputes Bill would make the
government the recruiting sergeant
for the unions. Il would align work
ers against employers-create class
antagonisms.
The fault of this bill is fundamen-
tai. It ignores the cordial relation
ships Of American employee and em-
ployer and accepts the Old World
doctrine that progress lies in each
being at the others throat all the
time. It Is simply not the American
way.
