Proposed.

labor and industry have made big
gains. Nor has the consuming public
been neglected. he continued. There
has been less gouging in retail sales
and prices than in any similar period
Of increasing demand and rising
prices, the President said.
600 Codes Set Up.
More than 600 codes of fair compe-
tition have been set up, the first in
July, 1888. The average age Of these
codes, however, is only II months, the
President pointed out, adding that
this was a brief time for definite ac-
compliShments already made.
The President did not hesitate to
hit back at many critics of the N. r
A. He said that only "carping critics
and those who seek either political
advantage or the right again to in
dulge in unfair practices or the ex-
ploitation Of labor or consumers de-
liberately seek to quarrel over the
of order and Of decent business can
not be created in day or O year"
The legislation to extend the life
of the NJ r. A. will be handled in the
House by the Ways and Means Com
mittee and in the Senate by the
Finance Committee. The Senate
Judiciary Committee, through a sub
committee, already has begun an in
vestigation into the operation OF the
NJ r. A., with particular reference as
to how it has affected the enforce
ment of the antitrust laws and
whether it has fostered monopoly
and brought injury to small businesses
and the consuming public.
Inquiry Is Approved.
A request for a full investigation Of
the N. r. A., contained in the Nye-
McCarran resolution, was approved
today by the Finance Committee.
The committees Of the House and
Senate will be furnished with a men,
orandum containing the detailed
recommendations" for extending the
life of the N. r. A., which the PreSi-
dent said had been given him by the
governmental agencies charged with
the execution of the law. The agen-
cieS are understood to include the
National Recovery Administration and
the Department of Justice.
1t Is expected that efforts will be
made to strengthen the provisions of
the existing law so the Government
may move expeditiously against "chis-
elers" who violate code provisions.
The President told the Congress, In
effect. that the progress which has
been made under the operation of
N. R. A. has revealed the vast scope
OF the problems" in the industrial life
of the country. And he added: I'VE
need certain degree Of fiexibility and
of specialized treatment" His final
plea to Congress was that by its fav-
orable action on the extension of the
N. r. A. it would hasten the process
of industrial recovery" and tighten
the burdens Of unemployment.

More Effective Means
OF Enforcing Needed.
In the development of this legis-
lation call your attention to the
obvious fact that the way 10 en-
force laws. codes and regulations
relating to industrial practices Is
not to seek to put people IN jail.
We need other and more effective
means for the immediate stopping
of practices by any individual or
by any corporation which are con-
trary to these principles.
Detailed recommendations along
the lines which ! have indicated
hava been made to me by various
departments and agencies charged
with the execution of the present
law. These are available for the
consideration of the Congress and.
although not furnishing anything
like O precise and finished draft Of
legislation, they may be helpful to
you in your deliberations.
Let me urge upon the Congress
the necessity for an extension of
the present act. The progress we
have been able to make has shown
us the vast scope Of the problems
IN our industrial life. We need a
certain degree Of fiexibility and of
specialized treatment, for our
knowledge Of the processes and
the necessities of this life Is still
incomplete. BY your action you
will sustain and hasten the process
OF industrial recovery which we are
now experiencing; you will tighten
the burdens of unemployment and
economic insecurity.

EXPERT ON WORLD MISSIONS
TO SPEAK AT PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH ON SUNDAY

One of the most exhaustive tours
of world mission fields taken in re-
cent years by any official represen-
tative of a foreign mission agency
in the United States, was made by
The Reverend George H. Trull, sec
retary of the department for specific
work, with headquarters in New
York City. He will speak at the
morning service of the Presbyterian
Church in Milford on December Is.
Mr.. Trull's Investigations covered
mission stations in Syria, Mesopo-
tamia, Persia, India, Siam, China,
the Philippines, Japan and other
countries. In these countries he stu
died, inter viewed national leaders,
and travelled extensively. Back of
this experience was twenty-three
years OF service with the Presbyter-
ian Board of Foreign Missions and
two former trips to mission fields.
Mr.. Trull is therefore equipped as
are few men in the United States to
speak with authority on the relig-
ious, political and social develop
ments in oriental countries, and the
growth and development of Chris
tan missions.

aSANITY ON THE PRArRIEsD

1t is refreshing TO report that al
least one state has managed to avoic
the fallacy that the way to create
prosperity is to spend billions on
credit.
That state is Nebraska, which is
described by W. Il. Christensen in
an article in the New York Herald
Tribune entitled Sanity on the
Prairies."
Nebraska has a new $4,000, 900
capitol-without penny of debt
standing against it,
Nebraska has Il splendid highway
system-without "A single outstanding
bond
Nebraska's state tax, which pro-
vides the funds for supporting the
State University, four Normal
Schools and all other state activi-
ties, has averaged less than two
mills per year during the last ten
years.
Nebraska has no state income tax,

Douglas, accounted for $4,5OO,O0O.
This sounds like a taxpayers Uto-

Mr.. Christensen, is the four-sided
plan Nebraska follows:
1.-Pay as you go; issue no state
bonds and few county bonds.
2.-Reject new forms of taxation.
3.-Watch public spending and the
spenders.
4.-Remember that even in these
changing times the functions of local

for the State and Nation as much
as the individual to do something
for Others"
Brands Theory Dangerous
But some people, he continued,
are getting into their minds this
theory; that every man is entitled
to job and that it is the govern
ment's obligation to give it to him.
There is no more dangerous theory
in this nation today.
The sooner we get it into our
heads that it's our job to support
line government and not the govern
ment's job to support us, the sooner
will we be on safe ground and the
sooner will we know that our gov
ornment is the best"

to and he'll go around as cocky as

that Congress had often received
