The NRA. in tho opinion
observers, 'appears to be at the crossroads. This opinion in
further reflected iii the minds of the many high up in gov
ernment. In fact General Johnson, lord high domino of the
NRA, has admitted that a reaction against the blue Eagle
has set in and that same must be met by a new readjustment.
Tho blue eagle in its conception was given as a means of
adjustment of wages and working hours with controlling
jMiwew of social significance. Husmess generally, the coun
try over, was 100 per cent behind it, rallied to its standard
and hastened to join hands for the recognized improvements
it sought to offer along such lines.
Evidently this wholehearted support of the American
businessman and industry has somewhere been mistaken or
misused at NliA -headquarters for today there appears a
tremendous reaction that is growing by leaps and Ixninds.
The blue eagle, in the opinion of much American business, is
attempting to dig' in its talons too far. General opinion is
growing that the blue eagle is dipping into and laying down
rules of business procedure that are unnecessary, unjust and
inimical to industry. In other words, now attempting to
enter into fields of business operation that should be of no
interest or concern to the government. Further that such
attempts of control are tending to delay rathor than acceler
ate the work of recovery first intended.
This iittltude'of business did not at first cftmen great deal of concern
upon tno part of NRA officials. They considered It unavoidable that cer
tain Idea be' stepped on. Now however, the reaction has set In rlnht within
the administration doors. Other government bureaus set up by the presi
dent arc becoming the NRA's severest critics. The Federal Trndo Com
mission, for example, has protested against what It calls monopolistic prac
tices In tho steel Industry made possible by the steel code and the
abrogation of tho antl-trut laws. The National Hecovery Review Board has
reported back to the president that the codes put small businesses at a
disadvantage; give big business all tho breaks. Tho Consumers' Advisory
Board, which Is a part or the NRA set up, has1 made an exhaustive report
or) tfto' operation' or the oil code, says tho motorists are gottlng stuck to
the Mine of hundreds of millions a year as the rise In otl prices has been
out or line with wage Increases In the Industry. And In the South, where
they fear that the NRA may be used to destroy tho wage differentials
that have always existed between Southern and Northern workmen, they
are saying thot Sherman's march to tho sea wasn't any more dangerous
to southern Interests than Is the NRA.
First result of all this was that Mr. Roosevelt appointed a Cabinet com
mittee to study tho way Industry Is using Its NRA-glvcn prlco-settlng
power. Early reports Indicate that price policies of some 200 codes may
be changed. At the moment. If one big unit within an Industry reports
a price lor a product, all other units usually fall In lino. And the con'
Burner Is beginning to growl. .
In addition, there Is growing criticism of General Johnson, Mr, methods
Iris organization, hl osBlntonts. A high court test of NRA constitutionality 1b
coming soon. lie a crucial situation, and It vitally affects all tho Roose
velt recovery policies, inasmuch aa NRA Is the heart which keeps them
going;
Mr.d.tl.OMANIA'
In his campaign speeches Rufus llolman, state treasurer, who seeks the
Republican nomination for governor but refuses to resign his office If
nominated and elected, until his Inauguration so that he may appoint
his Bucccssor and thus dominate the board of control, compares himself
to Jesus Christ, who he said was also persecuted by political pharlsees
the conservatives and stand-patters of the time"
Mr. Holman's knowledge of scriptural history Is not as great as his
egoism, for the' pharlsees wero a lactlon of the radical sect ot Jerusalem
and ho would probably have belonged to them a. the "true progressive,"

TRIBAL LAWS ARE
APPLIED TO NEW
ZEALANDWORKERS
Hamilton; n. z. wia nativo
custom of Maori trlbcMneii in New
Zealand has bee turned Into n
modern economic principle of em
ploye partnership h, business.
Tho new practice. Inaugurated
through tho companies empowering
act or 11)24, In based on the theory
that human values In business should
bo awarded dividends on service rec
ords while material values, which
do not vary, should recelvo n stated
reward.
Thus capital would recelvo a set
leturn for a act contribution, while
labor would recelvo an Increased re
turn for Increased service
Tho idea orlulualed with Harry
Viikler, chairman of 1 lie Kmploye
l'oitncrshlp Iiistllulo of Hamilton,
fe any (he' Maori based the rank
.f tho Individual on personal scrviit
to the tribe. In tho early history of
New Zealand It became necessary
to oiiapt this custom to nntish law
on property and the n.itlvo land
court Initiated a system by which
tribal land was allocated to Mttorts
according to their ranklm;.
.Mstcnt Kjisy l Adopt
Today that theory Is being used
more widely in New Zealand and Is
receiving commendation from many
business men. although actually it
is not being put Into practice on a
broad scale.
Under the n24 act it Is optional
with owners of n buMneni and can
bo adopted through it slight change
In articles of Incorporation.
Business Is divided Into capital
and labor. Capital is borrowed by
the company ut a pic-determined
rate of Interest such as five M-r cent
for service and three jx-r cent lor
risk. No higher rale than tho pie
determined rate Is paid, regardless
Of tho profits made.
Labor shares are Issued to em
ployes roughly on the basis of their
pay, which is presunvedj to be an In
dex of service.
