The NRA Review boards report to President Roosevelt, In which Report Hits NRA It was outspoken In ,t3 crltlcIsm of many NRA prin- ciples, has created more of a furore In Washington than anything since the administration canceled the airmail contracts, without granting the contractors a hearing. In fact, I gather from all Indications that the boards attacks were directly responsible for General Johnson's action In releasing small businesses of eertaln kinds from responsibility un der the codes. The consequences of the boards crltl clsms can only be partially evalu ated at this time, but the celerity of the Johnson action In meeting some of the charges by the board has led to more than a sprinkling of suggestions that It may be the beginning of the end for NRA. General Johnson explained, In releasing the minor Industries from the codes, that they constituted too small a part of the recovery program to warrant the expense and time Involved In administering those codes. Of course, he could not very well admit that NRA was a failure insofar as the "little fellows" are concerned, but nevertheless there are plenty of observers In Washington who so construed his statement The Interesting thing about it was that bis announcement was made public after the board's report had been sent to President Roosevelt and after the President had submitted the document to NRA for an analysis of the criticisms. The board was convinced after hearing appeals for relief by a com paratively small number of Individual businesses that some of the codes were having the opposite effect Intended. Evidence which Is gathered seemed to show that the little fellows" In the business world were being stifled by the larger units, and that was the very thing which President Roosevelt had hoped NRA would prevent. It Is to be remembered that the review board never was wanted by General Johnson and the NRA sup porters. The board was the brainchild of several senators and representatives who had received so many complaints from the "little fellows that they felt the urge to demand some means of review of NRA policies and codes. Its origin might be assumed to have caused the board, headed by Clarence narrow of Chicago, to feel Its mission was one of protection for the little fellow. Having watched It operate as a hearing body, I think I can say Its members tried to maintain an open mind. On one occasion, I recall, the board did not mince words In telling the representative of a small business that he could expect no help from It until his own linen had been washed of chiseling and sharp practice. Thus the board catapulted a handful of red hot coals Into the political arena. Mr. Roosevelt dodged the first bombshell by sending the report to Attorney General Cummings, to the Federal Trades commission and to General Johnson for an analysis. what Ire called Newspaper correspondents thought they could analyze the thing, but they did not get the opportunity. Their discussion these days gives rise to the thought that they will sit around awaiting the chance to analyze It to the full extent of their powers when they do get hold of It. As a result of the fresh outburst of trouble for NRA, I made a number of Inquiries Business Confused around NRA headquarters which are contin- uously crowded with representatives of businesses who are seeking to find out what to do. These individuals, to a man, were thoroughly confounded and confused. They were. In many Instances, unable to determine what to do as to many business practices; they could not get complete Instructions or Interpretations, nor were they able to learn the NRA attitude In an advisory way on propositions on which they desired rulings. Having observed the Job that General Johnson and his NRA staff Is trying to do, I can understand why these various questions can not be answered. They simply have so much work to do that It is almost a physical Impossibility to get It done. But to me, that fact tells the story of the weakness Inherent In any attempt to codify practices of businesses, national In scope, from a Washington bureau. As an exposition of the problem In another way, I learned that one great corporation I r, operating under 61 oodes. There la one department store here In the city of Washington that Is operating under and responsible to 11 code authorities. One corporation, relatively small In size and doing a selling business In not more than live eastern states, had to sign a total of 14 codes. All of this Is because of the diversiflea tlon of the business. As far as I can see, If every type of Industry must have a code, there Is no way out. A business that touches more than one line Is going to be under code for each line touched and It will have to be so If codes are to be a part of our economic structure. Yet. as the review boards report Indicates, there Is a certain hardship developed by such a system that Is rather difll-cuto defend. My Inquiries, however, brought out another fact that to my mind Is highly Important and about which little has been written. That Is the expense which these businesses must bear In connection with the codes and attempts to find out what Is expected of the firms who have been given the blue eagle of NRA membership. There Is not a day goes by that NRA officials do not receive flocks of business men who come from far and near for Interviews, for conferences on proposed codes, for Interpretation of codes already written, for talks with the authorities as to whether exceptions can be made to the universal rules laid down In the codes, and for the answers to a tliousand-and-on- e other questions. The expense of those trips to Washington, the hotel bills, the time away from their Jobs, all of these things have to be borne by the Individuals, businesses or corporations Interested. lt The resignation of Everett Sanders of Indiana, as chairman, and the I m p e n d I n g Sanders meeting In Clilca- Resignation licanof the4 Repubnational committee has served to focus a spotlight on that political agency which It has not drawn since the days of the 1932 campaign. As a matter of fact, the Sanders resignation has stirred up more discussion and has caused more Republicans to show their faces than some folks thought were still alive. It has demonstrated that there Is life In the G. 0., P. yet But the Job ahead of It Is one of finding how the latest strength can be utilized under a solid leadership, and that means the first task Is to find that leader for national chairman. Thus far, It can be said there Is an entire lack of unanimity among the Republican national committee. They appear not to have any Idea as to the Identity of the man who should be elected to head the party organization. the weakness of Undoubtedly, the Republican position at this time Is lack of leadership. A real leader, as far as I hear discussion of the subject, simply does not yet appear on the horizon. If It were not for the various crosscurrents, It would be nntural to expect that the several factions could get together and operate harmoniously. That, sad to relate, apparently Is Impossible. The old guard doesnt relish the Idea of surrendering power. Much criticism has been heard of the Republican leadership In congress during this session. It has been said the leadership has been spineless, and of the kind. But the consensus around Washington would seem to be that Senator McNary of Oregon, In the senate, and Representative Snell of New York, In the house, have been Impotent largely because the Democratic majority was so huge that they could never really voice the minority position. I have heard some of the Democrats assert that the Republican party can never come back; that Foolish thr"Kh- - NoPrediction where does history Justify such a prediction. It Is necessary only to go back to the campaign when Warren G. narding was elected to the Presidency, or to the overwhelming defeat of Alfred E. Smith by Herbert Hoover. In each case, some of the Republican" leaders were so short sighted as to say that the Democrats were through. Time has proved such prognostications to be utterly foolish. It likely will make the present unwise predictions of Democrats look the same way In the course of a few years. It seems to me to be unwise at any time to consign a political party to a grave unless there Is no more blood left In the carcass. From vi hat I can hear about the financial Republican committees condition, the plight of the Democrats a few years ago can be regarded as only slightly serious. Neither the national committee nor the combined senatorial and congressional committee can make any plans for a fght because It takes money to make the mare go. Whatever the results are of the coming election, however. It Is apparent now that Republican leader-shi- p first must be established. The Democrats have that leadership In Mr. Roosevelt, but they hnve to accept responsibility also so that they can expect to be attacked. Just as happened during the Hoover regime, the outs can make the fur tly for the Ins If they develop leadership. C by West era New.paper Union.
