REFORM POLICY
Association Says Business
Can Not Provide Work
for 100000.

By JSfsed Press
NEW YORK, March 27-If the
New Deal would place recovery
ahead of social reforms between
$4,000, 100000 and $4,000, 900 900
in capital would be available for
expansion, the National Manufac-
turers Association said today.
The announcement was a reply by
the associations directors to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's recent message to
Congress urging absorption of unem-
ployed by industry. The announce
ment said that persecution" Of
industry by politicians, legislative
experiments and other distractions"
had curtailed the use of idle capital
Its Gndustry's) hitherto unex-
emplified efficiency has been the
occasion for continuous attacks by
public officials on its technology,
the announcement said. 1T has
been excoriated and libeled, singled
out for overwhelming and discrim-
mating taxation, made the constant
subject of restrictive, costly and in
furious legislative experiments and
berated because its native speed has
lessened as its pathway was crowded
by political distractions"
1t added that an additional
100000 workers would bring man.
ufacturing employment to the 1929
maximum, land it is thus obvious
that manufacturers can not provide
work for 100000 or more jobless."

when the NRA was rushed forward
by the Administration as a substi-
tute to defeat the Black bill.
Now the MIRA has had it's day
and gone. And the 30-hour bill
can not muster a corporal's guard
in the Senate. What is the reason
for this? 1t is worth asking, be-
cause the answer is important. The
whole energy of the reformatory
mood which seized America in 1888
has passed.
nESPITE the fact that unem-
- ployment is as great as it was
at this time in 1882, when the last
presidential convention cam
paign got into swing, the appetite
OF the people to change things, to
remedy things, to make new laws,
to drive out old devils, has evapo-
rated.
The Importance OF this phenom-
enon can not be over-estimated in
forecasting business, financial and
political movement. 1t means that
during the coming year we are
not going to see any more So
called attacks on business either by
the Roosevelt Administration or
any one else.
There may be printed stories OF
new raids" on business, but these
yarns will be largely the work OF
critics of the Administration who
wish to discreet it 3 little more.
The explanation Of this mood,
of course, is an old one. People go
in for reform for only a brief
period. The great majority OF the
people care nothing about such
things. They wish to be let alone.
A small minority of class or social
]y conscious people keep up agita-
ton in season and out.
DUT it is only in periods of ex-
~ ceptional catastrophe that the
whole population can be aroused to
support action. They will not sub
nit to the crusading spirit for
long. Any good historian might
have told us in 1888 that by 1886
the era of change and remolding
would be over. 1t will come again
but it is done for the time being
I think no one can fail to put
this down, along with the state of
Federal finances and government
spending plans, as a major item in
forecasting the course of business
during the next year. 1t is this
which convinces me that business
will continue active and to rise,
barring of course the impact of
war.
The episode has lesson for the
social philosopher and an even
more important lesson for the
social reformer. 1t is that when
the period of the reformatory
mood arrives, it must be seized and
acted upon quickly or the oppor-
tunity will pass. The opportunity
for reform has passed in this
country now. 1t will not return
until another crisis visits us.
