tional interest that there should be
no misunderstanding about Mr.. Nell
son and his job. And there are GER
tain things which it Is well to be
frank about at the start. 1t is not
now a question Of Mr.. Nelson's au-
thority. At long last the President
has delegated authority in a very
complete way. Nor is there much
point in the debate as to whether
he should or should not be given
rank next to the President by statu-
tory law. Success for Mr.. Nelson
does not hinge upon that; success
for him depends wholly upon him.
helf. He has got the stuff in him,
or has he not?
That is the real question now.
Everybody will hope that he has, but
certainly it remains to be proved.
The recent rush of the New Deal
publicity agencies to paint Mr.. Nell
son as a superman who very soon
will straighten out the shocking
mess into which things have gotten
in Washington and have the war
production wheels whirling at top
speed, would be more impressive did
1t not recall that a similar burst OF
publicity pictured Mr.. Nelson as
a veritable ball Of fire few months
ago when he was made executive
director of the S. P. A. B. The
S. P. A. B. is now pushed over the
brink into obscurity, but then 1t
was hailed as the final answer to
everything in much the same way
as the new setup has been.
Friend of New Dealers.
True, while he started out to live
up to his publicity in those early
S. P. A. B. days he was handicapped
by a lack of clearly delegated power,
which he does not lack now. Never
theless there are reasons which, un-
til Mr.. Nelson demonstrates their
unsoundness, prevent feeling OF
complete confidence in the man.
What are the facts? One fact IS
that while Mr.. Nelson unquestIon-
ably is an able businessman he is
no ADLER than a number OF others
who have been in this confused and
heretofore headless organization.
For example, the President. before
s. P. A. B., had made up his mind
to name at least two others In pref
erence to Mr.. Nelson and whom
many thought better fitted.
Why, then, was Mr.. Nelson named?
The answer was given at the time,
not by critics but by administration
| journalists and spokesmen-he was
the New Deals favorite industrialist
More than any other, he had made
| it his primary business to stand well
