Want Better Ethics
Spell of a planned economy and regi

eastern industrial m agnate. If he means
the desire for fa ir trad e practices and
other things w ritten into the codes for
which trad e associations have strived for
many years he is mistaken. The industrial
m agnate favors increased hours and flex-
bile wage scales in direct contrast to de
m ands for shorter hours to absorb the un
employed.

the Oregonian, which has taken a dig at
the NRA a t frequent intervals, says that
“ in the opinion of the people there is
much of NRA th a t ought to be retained,
even though rew ritten, must be perm a

Earlier Action Needed
Lum ber people are having a big fight
over price-fixing provisions in their code
and it is charged th a t the all-im portant
wage provisions were violated, following
price cutting. Present conditions in the
industry, it is charged, are due to failure
to enforce the code.
Consumers, industry and labor confi
dently expected th a t all provisions would
be enforced and hoped th a t they would
be. If more stringent action had been
taken in the first place we venture to say
difficulties would have been at a mini
mum and everyone would have been hap
pier and more prosperous.
Protection on costs are necessary un

the big business octopus. At the same
time this same protection should be ac
corded the farm producer in keeping with

Want Free Bridges
The big argum ent for coast bridges
originally was th a t they could be financed
by tolls and now a big cam paign is being
put on to make them free bridges. Under
th at plan the money would have to come
from work elsewhere and other allocations
would suffer. The coast highway has
already taken a sizeable chunk of state
highway funds and it seems more logical
that effort for the time being be concen-
trated on a short road from th e highly-
congested areas to the coast.
Report in the liquidation of the Shute

prises—coal mining, wholesale grocery business, auto
mobile dealers trade—are reflected in terms of
business stabilization, prevention of destructive price-
cutting. increase in employment and purchasing
power, and the raising of prices from loss to profit
levels—all consummations devoutly to be wished in
the struggle for recovery.
But let business speak for itself and voice its
own experience under the codes. Here are the trends
reported by spokesmen for the three enterprises in
question:
Declaring th at the code has been the salvation
of the bituminous coal mining industry, the Pitts
burgh Press plays up a survey Just made by the
magazine Coal Age and quotes that journal s declara
tion that "majority sentiment among coal com
pany executives with mines east of the Mississippi
river still endorses the code as a distinct benefit to
the industry."
The Pittsburgh Press adds: "The nuners. of
course, have approved the code since its formation.
It has brought them a $5-a-day minimum wage, the
full right of collective bargaining, and other priv
ileges. The fact that a majority of the operators
also are satisfied with the code after a year of trial
speaks volumes for what the NRA has done for this
heretofore chaotic industry."
Characterizing the automobile dealers' code as
a means to an end and not an end itself. James
Dalton, editor of Motor, told the Empire State
Automobile Merchants' association tliat every hour
the code lives "means countless dollars saved for
dealers and declared unequivocally th at the auto
mobile dealers “are better off than they were a year
ago.”
The volume of business o f Virginia wholesale
grocers has increased under the code. An analysis
of replies to an NRA survey reveals, according to
the New York Journal of Commerce, that there have
been conservative gams all along the line In the
trade In Virginia. Of those replying to the ques
tionnaire. 76 per cent shared in the profit increase.
Losses in no case exceeded five per cent, while
the percentage of increases was In several instances
as high as 30 per cent. One firm reported that
profits had leaped 50 per cent during the code period.
Employment and pay-roll figures have kept pace,
with an average of 18 per cent more employes and
weekly payrolls up 13 per ce n t—Ex.

The NRA as a driving and effective force back
of the industrial codes has probably furnished little
more than a smoke screen of effective effort. Per
haps they have had little real power and have had
to use a good deal of intimidation.
Codes, however, are a different matter and while
codes may slip they will return. A code of fair com
petition is something that every industry should
have and it should be clothed with enough power so
that the decrees of its properly constituted officials
can be carried out. Review before a proper tribunal
should be provided so th at no Injustice may be
worked but in each industry there should be pro
vided machinery to make the members of that in
dustry abide by the reasonable rules of the game
The industries have tasted of that kind of regula
tion and the decent persons of each Industry wan*,
to abide by the rules and they also want the other
fellow to play according to the rules. A code with
real teeth in it is the only way to obtain that.—

Nobody contradicts Babson, the universally known
business statistician. He is loud in heralding the re
turn of prosperity. He says:
1. Bad business and financial situations are
constantly being cleaned up.
2. More money Is available for expansion now
than ever before in the history of America.
3. Domestic consumption is at the highest figure
of all time.
4 Failures continue at a very low level, and
mortgage foreclosures are at the lowest level for
years.
5. Collections are distinctly improving
6. Farmers' income for 1934 Is »6.000,000,000. as
compared with $5,000,000,000 for 1933
It's America coming back. It's depression on the
