"Unless Governor Talmadge ex-

The newspaper editor and bog

fore the Columbia University In

He declared that the AAA, Elm

the crop-sharer his first intimation
that the Federal government is
something more than a vague and
distant authority"
In this connection, Freeman
warned his audience that the de-
velopment of a proletarian element
in the South is a distinct possibility
of the next decade.

Congress Asked
To Define Fair

Specific congressional definition
of fair and unfair trade practices
with the drafting of detailed code
left to voluntary action by indus
tries, was indicated today as tn
possible outline Of a new N. R
A. plan.
Chairman Samuel B. Hill of tn,
House Ways and Means Subcom'
mittee, which will do the spade
work on writing new N. R. A
legislation in line with President
Roosevelt's request, said high points
of a bill now tentatively under
consideration were:
1. The legislation must be with
in the limits of authority as speci-
fed in the Supreme Courts decis-
ion i%nvalidating the old N. R. A.
2. 1t should declare what are
unfair practices in business.
3. 1t must limit application of
any program to interstate COM

affects interstate commerce.

organization, Or a new beard)
with authority to determine the
facts, with the right Of appeal to
the courts from the agency's find
ings.
THE difficulty with the old N.
R. A. law" Hill explained, twas
that it delegated power to the
President, and he to the N. R. A.,
and it to the code authorities to
say what should be or not be fair
trade practices. But if Congress
should declare what is unfair, it
probably would be sustained if
Congress has substantial reasons for
its definitions
Another difficulty was that
the first N. R. A. did moi stay in
the confines of the commerce
clause, but tried to apply to all
business regardless of interstate
commerce. But there is A field for
operation, in interstate commerce
Or directly affecting it, that, of
course, probably would not reach
down to purely local business.
THE ideal thing, of course,
would be for Congress to lay down
specifically what could be done,
and not have any imposed codes,
but let business come voluntarily
under the codes conforming with
Congress edicts that would apply
only to the individuals voluntarily
subscribing to them. That is what
we about got down to in the Cuff
