Urging return to simpler forms
in legislative eractments, Henry H,
Hermann, executive manager-on-
leave of the National Association Of
Credit Men, points out in the Asso-
cations Monthly Business Review
released today that 'the present
labyrinth of laws, regulations,
agencies and bureaus is such that
the average citizen is completely
bewildered.
This" he says, lis a dangerous
state of mind. Business men strain
at every point for production in the
war effort; professional men are on
duty long hours to meet the civilian
needs: farmers are hard at work
long hours in the fields to bring
about increased production; labor
ing men are working overtime; and
other groups are so busy they
cannot take time to keep abreast
of Developments
Actual Outline
Mr.. Hermann points out that the
average man in the street does not
even now know the actual outline
of our new tax law and how it will
affect him.
"Certainly this condition OF mind
is not conducive toward the building
of an informed and educated cltl-
zenship," he says. In some way
people from all walks OF life Will
have to assume part in the re-
sponsibilities for making our public
representatives understand that
laws that are simple and clearly
understood are more readily &C
tceptable and more easily admin
istered; that most laws can be
drafted with easily understood SEN
fences and that only the details
need be altered from time to time
to meet new situations
The present situation with OPA
in it's efforts to reduce food prices
was also pointed to by MI Heimann
as an example of how lack OF
simplicity and directness often
leaves the public in bewildered
and unenlightened state which
works against full cooperation. On
this point, Mr.. Hermann said:
1.-THE Office of Price Administra-
ton was started quite late and its
accordance of certain fundamental
principles of price control has been
too long deferred. 1t is questionable
whether anyone or any group in the
present situation could do an etfl-
cient job.
isn't it an almost impossible job
to control imitation through price
ceilings unless you can effectively
exercise control over wages, another
factor vitality affecting prices? 1t is
only natural, therefore, for OPA to
make a public display of price con-
troll through the announcement OF
new price ceilings from time to
time. This can be little more than
superficial treatment. The fault for
such an Ineffective program does
not rest with the OPA On the con-
trary. it is taking the only action
it can take in view of the limlta-
lions of its control.
Economy Essential
However, this does not mean
that our fullest cooperation should
not be given to the officials; quite
the contrary. 1t is most essential
that civilians economic to meet our
stupendous war task. We must ac-
cept as fact that there will be
trials and errors, but we must CO.
operate in every possible way, Only
by doing this can the OPA partially
at least. accomplish its detectives

With factory wages enticing the
