THE THREAT OF
REGULATION

Most Of us feel SECURE Il. this coun.
try because It is our impression fhat
the laws Of the land are written fof
US by our duly accredited represen-
tatlyes IN Congress. Anyone who q
satisfied In this belief is likely q
receive severe Jolt upon examina-
tlon OF The actual facts Ia the case.
For, as a mattei' OF truth, an in
ereasing number Of the regulations
and edicts IN force In the United
States today are the product Of spe-
cial bureaus, boards. and commits
sions not directly responsible to the
public.
OF course, no one denies the. need
for certain amount OF administra-
tive law. But 1t must be used wisely
II the processes OF democracy are not
70 suffer harm, and the vast growth
OF quasi-iudicial and quasi-oaicial
agencies can be serious matter in
deed IL this truth Is not remembered.
Part 0f the trouble TO be found
with this type OF law arises from
the fact that much OF the legislation
being administered by the bodies In
question has been loosely defined. An
outstanding example that fits this
particular situation is to be found ia
the case Of the National Labor Rela-
tiOns Act and Board. In which the
cases Of Board bias that have been
so abundantly spread on the record
have been made possible by deficien-
eies OF One-sidedness In the Wagner
Act ITSELF
Back in 1887, when a special gov
ernment committee was appointed to
study the field in question, 1t was
found that about $50 regulatory agen-
cies were in existence, and the Judi
clary Committee Of the House OF Rep
resentatives was moved to comment:
1T Is practically impossible for
member OF Congress, much less for
an individual citizen, to find his way
among these many agencies or to To-
cate the particular officer or employ
ee in any Of the agencies with whom
any particular problem should be
discussed with a,View to settlement. f"

The New Deal has utilized various
strategems to evade the charge that
President RooseVelt's Administra-
tiQn has failed in its major task
namely, restoring this country to a
sound and lasting economic recoy-
cry.
One device has been to compare
certain economic statistics for 1882
with those for 1899 and to assert
that this proves how successful the
New Deal has been, entirely ignoring
the fact that the country is mich be-
low the level of prosperity and stan
dard Of living that existed in the
twenties
But one set of figures which the
New Dealers cannot manipulate are
those for unemployment. They have
tried various explanations, some of
which do not make sense, but the
cold, stark fact remains that we have
with us approximately 100000 un-
employed men and women able and
willing to work.
Puts JObless at 10,0OO,0OO
CorriRgtpn Gill, assistant W. P. A.
Administrator, is authority for the
statement that the country now has
1Q,O00,000 unemployed It will be re-
called that in the 1882 campaign Mr..
Roosevelt set the unemployed figure
at that time at 10000, 0,000-sO we are
just where we were in 1889.
Now Mr.. Gill warns that industry
cannot absorb "a majority of the
unemployed within the
next five years" In other words, a
of those now walking the
streets looking for jobs are doomed !
o continue walking the streets fu-
ilely looking for jobs for the next
i've years. A majority of those on
elief rolls, receiving meager hand |
,uts from government are doomed,
to Mr.. Gill, to remain on
hose relief rolls, living from hand
o mouth.
If this is all the hope and promise /,
he New Deal can offer the country
fter more than seven years of reck-
ess, unprecedented spending and
nth all the power he wanted in the
residents hands, what a sorry
Detacle it is! What a spirit of de- /
satism pervades the New Deal ad-
and leaders!
OF course, Mr.. Gill is right If, as I
G undoubtedly believes, President {
Oosevelt is reelected for another I
-rm. This would mean that he and {
Is policies would dominate the f
1untry for approximately another .

THE TELRTISION ROW

Indications are that the Radio
Corporation of America and the Du
Mont Laboratories are fighting for
first place in marketing teIevision
receivers, and that some of the Off
cials of the Federal Communications
Commission are inclined to take
sides on this matter Both compan-
les have applied to the FEC for a
permit to construct a teIevision sta
ton in Washington. It is understood
that the du Monts are backed by Par
amount Pictures.

new PEAR REPORTED no
BIZ RLtGnT-REsisTANi


Fire blight, a disease Of apples ant
pears which IS usually first noted
Nhan the leaves on tree branches
wither and turn brown, has limited
pear production in Delaware TO q
lone variety, the Kieffer. Other va
Fieties, although being of much sbet-
ter quality and appearance than the
Kieffer, have been forced out OF or
chards because they are susceptible
to ire blight
Now from the plant breeders OF
the United States Department OF
Agriculture Bureau OF Plant Indus
try comes a new pear variety which,
in their tests, is reported to stand
up well under blight The new pear
which has been named Waite in hon
or of DR.. M. b. Waite OF the United
States Department of Agriculture
has excellent cooking and canning
qualities and its quality for eating
out of hand is reported TO be far
ahead of such varieties as Kieffer
and Pineapple. In telling Of the new
pear, Professor L. r. Detjen, asso-
ciate hOrticulturist at the Delaware
Agricultural Experiment Station.
says that the Waite pear is reported
almost as large as the Bartlett and
nearly free Of grit cells which are
Objectionable in the Kieffer. II is a
little more acid than the Bartlett and
ripens about the same time as Kief-
fer.
Professor netjen also saws that
the United States Department OF Az
riculture workers report that Waite

ers say that the new pear should be
adapted to areas south
Of New York and may prove Of value
az far west as Kansas. Up to date, its
ability to Withstand low tempera-
lures has not been determined sew
eral trees Of Waite variety, accord
ng to Professor Detien, are now ii
he trial plots of the Delaware Ag-
icultural Experiment Station and.
ls soon as they are older, their re-
'istance to fire blight can be deter

Balancing the RndRet

President Roosevelt this week raised
a question as to his intentions regarding
agricultural credit when he informed
S3l5. 100000 to the Treasury from Farm
Credit Administration agencies. Ac-
cording to the News, this would be the
fCAs contribution toward the $780,
0VO,B0U which, according to the January
budget estimates, Government lending
agencies would return to keep the ma
tional debt from going over the S45, 600. =
100000 limit. The Federal land banks, 22
per cent OF whose loans, Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace has said. are de-
linquant, would have to put up 5000,

proposal with respect to the land banks

Appropriation Bills

Although Congress has been cOastine
along for several weeks with apprOpri-
alton bills the main order of business
prospects point to stormy sessions
ahead, prior to adjournment about June
Is.
Late in the week the House discussed
the amendments to the Wagner Labor
Act. There is no agitation to restrict
nor interfere with the right of labor to
bargain collectively, but the hearing
which has been in progress for several
months by the Smith Committee to in
yestigate the administration of the act
has disclosed many abuses by the per-
sonnet The American Federation of
Labor and the c. l. o. have maintained
an active interest, not only to gain ad-
VantageS for their respective OrganiZa-
tions, but to preserve the laws objec-
tives.
The House Labor Committee has
adopted some amendments, including
one to enlarge the board from three to
five members, and Chairman Mary Nor
ton will seek suspension of the rules to
consider her report. The special Smith
Committee also has submitted some
proposed amendments. If and when this
matter reaches the floor, there is bound
to be some intense skirmishing. The
predominant view among members of
Congress and many labor leaders is
that the National Labor Relations Act
has not functiOned too satisfactorily be-
cause Of inefficient administration.

N.L.R,B. Out the Window

Two Democrat and two Repub-
lican members of Congress clashed
last night In a debate on which
party offers more for the future of
labor" and the National Labor Re-
lations Board was the subject of
the argument.
Speaking on the American Forum
of the Air, broadcast over VOL and
the Mutual network, the Aebaters
were Senator Reed of Kansas and
Representative Lands of Indiana,
upholding the Republican side, and
Senator Thomas of Utah and Rep
resentative Smith of Illinois, speak
ing for the Democrats.
Both Senator Reed and Repre-
sentative Lands attacked the ad-
ministration of the Wagner Act.
Senator Reed accused the Labor
Board of "maladministration while
Representative Lands, a member
of the House Labor Committee. said
that so per cent of the trouble has
been with administration of the act
and not the act itself"
4enator Thomas, declaring that
the Democrats have a record based
on performance" charged that the
Republicans have not eNen a record
of cooperation and helpfulness as
minority party"
The program, broadcast from the
Willard Hotel, was presided over by
