aged privately and one run by
government is that in private
enterprise If management fails,
il is fired or the business goes
broke: in government the poll
ticians try to save each others
faces.
The OPA is a case in point.
Here is badly conceived
agency, mismanaged from the
start. now an obvious failure
yet being continued because TO
admit failure is a political lia-
bility for those who have TO
make the admission.
OPAs real difficulty, apart
from inexperienced and un-
trained direction, is that 1t
lacks authority in the fields
which IL attempts TO control.
I have been reading the pro-
ceedings OF the Senate subcom-
mittee Of the committee on
agriculture and forestry which
has been investigating this ques-
ton of food.
On the witness stand was
Thomas /. Emerson, deputy ad-
ministrator for enforcement Of
the OPA.
Here is a man whose depart
ment is charged with "sll en-
forcement OF price, rationing
and rent regulations" for the
entire country. He was asked:
ssTHE chairman: Whatever
Il policies are determined
upon by OPA. II is your duty
70 see that they are carried
out according to the rules and
regulations
"Mr. Emerson: That is
right"
Now what experience has this
man had with law enforce
ment? He had worked with
New York firm for two years.
Then in 1888, he got into the
government, first with the
NRA: then with NI.RB; then
with the Ssh: then y the at
torney generals ofiIt, and
finally the OPA. So Senator
Wheeler asked him:
Senator Wheeler: Did you
ever try = lawsuit?
"Mr. Emerson: I never tried
. suit In private practice, no."
To get this gentlemans point
OF view:
Senator Bushfield; Accord
ing to the news accounts Of
your activities, some of your
f,nes lately have been fantastic.
You never find that In courts.
"Mr. Emerson; The larger
fines have been awarded by the
courts. In some cases they
have been settled outside Of
court st pretty high figures, but
those were cases against the
large corporations who were
well represented by counsel.
Senator Bushheld: And that
justines an outrageous fine,
does it:
"Mr. Emerson: No sir. But
