NRA could no longer muster the enthusiasm within Its own corps to shout about Its progress. It apparently had struck a snag. The reaction from the lull was Immediate. When the ballyhoo ceased, the momentum of the effect through tlje country was checked. As to the AAA, the period of com- parative quiet In government affairs permitted an examination of how many directions Secretary Wallace's corps had gone all at the same time. Thla evident lack of continuity In policy Is looked upon among the observers as having begun almost with the creation of the adjustment administration, but there was plenty of spirit and hop, and brains to keep all of the lines moving some months. Now, the consensus is that aome of the line will have to be abandoned because they have been pulling in opposite directions. . In attempting to depict the situation as It exists at this time, I Intend no criticism. On the contrary, I believe I should reverse the words of the noble Roman and say that "I came to praise Caesar and not to For there Is no doubt bury him, and can be no doubt that NRA has done a deal of good In awakening the country.

I have not seen the signs or portents yet that will tel whether the public works Job Is going to be worthwhile, but as to General Johnson's NRA and Secretary Wallace's AAA, I have gathered much opinion from keen student to the effect that If they add much more to the recovery movement It will have to come from the adoption of new tactics.
