Whatever may gleaned from recent developmentsIt In Washington, NRA Will Continue can be with thathis stated certainty President mind defiRoosevelt has now set Renitely to continue the National covery administration as a governmental unit. It may well be that the organization may be changed In form; It may be possible that the name will be revised and that there may be revision of methods. But there can be no equivocation about the fact that Mr. Roosevelt Intends to maintain NRA and that he has acted at this time to give notice of his decision In advance of the convening of congress. his recovery set up, the retirement of General Johnson afforded an excellent ,opportunity. It was then that, he could have allowed the organization to disintegrate and could have transferred to various agencies of the government that are permanent In character such functions as he desired should continue. But he did not do that, lie acted with dispatch. This Is best shown by the chronology of events. It appears that the President made up his mind over one week end. He received General Johnsons resignation on Monday and announced It on a Tuesday. His return to Washington on Wednesday wa, followed Immediately by conferences with Mr. Ricliberg aud a quick announcement of the new program. It Is evident, therefore, that whe the President decided something had to be done, he moved at once to get rid of General Johnson and t start the new machinery through orders Issued to Mr. Rlchberg. Formulation of Industrial policies henceforth are regarded as likely to be more on the basis of trial and error than heretofore has been the case. Observers here have taken note of the unusual emphasis placed upon the President's part In N'RA They think reorganization plans. this was done at the behest of the Chief Executive with the thought In mind that It would serve as a reassurance to hundreds of thousands of people throughout the country. I believe there can be no doubt that a good many people, some Influential, some Just the mine-run- , the have questioned flying qualities of the Blue Ragle. Their dissatisfaction and distrust has been shown in many ways, and thus it appears logical that Mr. Roosevelt would seek to allay their fears. Under the new set up of NRA, the President has taken active leadership. Of course, lie has been the leader heretofore, hut there lias nl ways been the disposition on ids part to allow the former administrator, Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, to guide his own ship. Despite the fact that Mr. Johnson was given a free hand, it was easy for Mr. Roosevelt to take control because, after all, he is President of the United States. By dividing management of NR among the heads of three hoards, it Is generally believed that the President has made It easier for himself to assort his Influence and his ideas more directly than has hitherto been the case. This Is particularly true when the personality of the former administrator Is considered, although the President had only one man with whom to deal under that circumstance. people In Politically minded Washington seem to be wondering however, what the effect will be on Mr. Roosevelt. Suggestions have been heard that by taking a direct hand in NRA Mr. Roosevelt has put himself out front whore, some seem to think he may be the target for some of the rotten eggs about which the bombastic General John son spoke so frequently. The retiring administrator said frequently he did not mind being the target, but many times Mr. Roosevelt lias taken occasion to fight back at his critics by calling them tories, Rip Van Winkles, and other such descriptive terms.

Banking and other financial Interests of the country are apparently disturbed over the trend Financiers quite ward easier bank examinations. Mr. Roosevelt lately has told the treasury that the hank examiners were too hardboiled in going over loans held In portfolios of hanks and that he was anxious to see a more uniform system developed than the examining methods long In use. Tlie fear seems to be that the bank examiners will relax too far In outgranting approval for loans standing. Heretofore, banks have had to toe the rnaik and any questionable papers or any loan that ligave evidence of not being Its with accordance in quidated terms was promptly called to the attention of the hank management vvitli Instructions to make corrective adjustments on the hooks.

It was bad loans that forced the closing of many hanks. Then, too, many observers are finding it difficult to reconcile the Presidents attitude with the frequent criticisms he has made of hanking practices heretofore employed. I am reminded, also, of tlie slinging rebukes that have come from tlie senate committee on banking and currency after Its investigation of the entire banking structure. Time after time that committee, which proceded with Its investigation with a blessing from the White House, has attacked banks and hankers because of bad loans and worse judgment In dealing with the borrowers.

Most of them boasted that they would not be taken alive, and by the same token they would kill any one who attempted to interfere with their business. Kennedy determined to confront the lion in his den. He made up his mind to go to the Gooch stamping grounds in the guise of a government forester. Merely to be known as a person who was connected with the government In any capacity was taking a big chance, but Kennedy was a man who had been taking chances all his life, and one additional chance meant little to him.
