The Darrow Report
CLARENCE DARROW condemn the N.R.A. while General
Johnson and Donald R. Richberg, director and general
counsel of the N.R.A. condemn Clarence Darrow.
The fat in in the fire. With this report, the national recov'
ery review board, of which Mr. Darrow has been chairman, will
pass out of the picture, and with it Mr. Darrow as far as his
official connection with the Roosevelt administration is con
cerned.
But while the song is ended, the discord will linger on.
Through the summer and until the fall elections, the people of
this country will hear a great deal more of the famous (or
infamous) Darrow report. It will place the administration on
the defensive, and from it the Republicans will draw political
ammunition for their anti-Roosevelt barrage,
Not that the Republicans will agree with the recommenda
tions of the Darrow board. -Far from it. Darrow maintains
N.R.A. fosters monopoly and oppresses the "little fellow"; and
he recommends "socialized, and collective ownership and control
of industry, followed by a planned use of America's resources.'
This isn't the Q.O.P. idea.' Darrow condemns N.R.A., not
because it goes too far to the left, but because it doesn't go far
enough. He represents the radical view. Republican opposition
comes from the other side of the fence entirely, opposing N.R.A
enough; the latter because it goes too far.
But both oppose this element of the New Deal. As a result.
though not in agreement, they wilf be united in opposition, and
thus the administration will be subjected to a withering cross
fire.
Politically it is the most severe blow, President Roosevelt
has received since his inauguration over a year ago.
Strange Bed Fellows
VTES, politics makes strange bed fellows. Here we have the
raditals of the country, joined with the ultra-conservatives,
in opposition to the New Deal, but for reasons diametrically
opposed. The former because the proposition doesn't go far
encough ; the latter because it goes too far.
General Johnson was quick to seize upon this inconsistency,
and take advantage of the political opportunity afforded.
Said he :
"Stripped of Its shadowy verbiage the Darrow report means
that the choice of the American people ta between Fascism and .
Communism, neither of which carr be espoused by anyone who
believes In our democratic Institutions of self government; nor
can any public official who ha taken an oath to defend the
constitution of the United States adopt or officially advocate
such a program."
Quite true. As the Mail Tribune has maintained many times,
if the Roosevelt program fails, there are only two alternatives,
Fascism or Communism.
Mr. Darrow believes it has failed. Messrs. Johnson and
Richberg naturally believe it has not. There the issue is closed.
Who is right! It will take a wiser prophet than this paper
affords, to say.
But we agree with Johnson and Richberg to this extent. We
DON'T BELIEVE the time has eome to deolare that the New
Deal has failed and something radically different must be tried.
We believe the experiment needs a further test and more time.
And one reason for this belief is what we know of Clarence
Darrow.

roaay comes an Illustrated clrcu
lar from the manufacture of a line
of nostrums for dumb doctors to sell
the public. I am ashamed to say that
in tne regular profession we have
good many doctors whose education
was neglected. They don't know how
to write prescriptions. Their In
structors In medical school were so
busy with the care of the various
weird machine that feature modern
medicine that they lust skinned the
elementary subject of therapeutics. So
tne conegiate fop they turn out of the
medical school today has to depend
on the ready-made Junk provided by
these "ethical" nostrum manufac
turers In lieu of a prescription to suit
the requirement of the Individual
case.
This pretty pamphlet that arrived

As I failed to receive the promised
letter I am taking this mesne of
warning any doctors who might be
"interested" that If I learn of a doc
tor prescribing the nostrum I'll ad
vise the victim to throw the stuff
In the garbage can and change doc
tors. This nostrum maker employs the
familiar dodge of gents In his line
he prints a lot of testimonials which
he credits to physicians, but for somo

the Identity of the physicians. In
view of the brazen cheek of the beg-

would have us believe, prescribe or

uses up stored energy and is harm
ful for a girl 25 yeara old? A. A.
Answer It Is fine exercise for such
a girl. Of course any exercise uses
some stored energy. Your question im
plies some misunderstanding of the
physiology of exercise.
Precipitated or Prepared Chalk.
What benefit Is there in taking a
teaspoonful of precipitated chalk in
a glass of water once a day? Heard
about it at a psychology lecture.
Mrs. P. W. L.
Answer A quack "psychologist's '

Is the chemical name for chalk. In
medicine chalk la especially purified
for Internal use, and the purified cal
cium carbonate is called precipitated
or prepared chalk. It Is a useful antl-
acid, preferable to soda, magnesia ana
other alkalis. Send a dime and a

Has the New Deal Failed? .
sOLARENCE DARROW is an old man, cynical, tired and dis-
illusioncd. He has been a fighter for the underdog all his
life, and his conviction there is something incurably rotten in
Donmark, has been too firmly crystalized, these many years, to
be readjusted now. He has a great mind, but it has never been
a judicial one. Ho is now, and always haB been a violent and
uncompromising partisan, convinced of the stigma of original
and inourable sin, as far as Big Business is concerned.
His underlying social and eoonomio philosophy is well ex
pressed in the following excerpt from his roport ;
"Pair competition Is merely a resounding and Illusory
phrase. All competition I savage, wolfish and relentless and
can be nothing else. One may as well dream of making war
ladylike, as of making competition fair."
e This paper doesn't believe that, And of course we know the
Roosevelt administration doesn't believe it. For if that is true,
then nothing can save this country but the destruction of com
petition, which would menn EVENTUALLY socialized owner
ship and control of ALL industry i.e. socialism, communism, or
whatever one wishes to term the overthrow of the capitalistic
system.
THIS paper believes thore is another and a better way out.
We beliove the competitive capitalistic system can be re
tained, and so controlled and regulated, that its abuses will be
eliminated; and its obvious advantages preserved.
Only In the past year we beliove there has been a great
change in the attltudo of what is known as Big Business. Wo
believe in the next few years there will he an even greater
change.
Not that we expect the millcnium. Nor that we expect a
sudden transformation in human nature.
But we do expect a REFORMATION, a dearer conception
on the rrt of all the pcoplo of this country, that the Old World
is gone, and that a New World is here.
And in this new world, we boliove what Darrow terms sav
age, wolfish, relentless competition, will be replaced by a desire
for material well being, sublimated by a sense of real social
sorvice.
Not because we shall all become angels, but because we shall
all or a sufficient number see that unless there is a New Deal
and a REAL ONE what we have oome to know as civilization
is doomed.
In other words the compelling force behind this peaceful
revolution will bo self interest but it will at last be an EN
LIGHTENED self interest.

To the Editor:
For your Information, and that of
your readers. I am sending In correc
tions to an article headed "Alrwaya
Officials Enjoy Fishing Trip." appear-
from the Darrow findings In a mi
nority report. This member, John F.
Sinclair, now resigned, denounced the
conduct of the majority and labeled
its findings as "at times misleading
and unreliable.'
Sinclair urged the president to ap
point an "ably staffed, non-polltlcal
board" to act for the protection ox
small, Independent business which he
deemed, in several respects, endan
gered under the codes.
The NRA Itself, In a reply to the
review board, which was made public
simultaneously with the report, de
fended Itself in language as plain
as that of the Darrow document. The
NRA administrator. General Johnson,
said:
Good Faith Challenged.
"A more superficial, Intemperate
and inaccurate document than the re
port, X have never seen. In my Judg
ment this board has missed a great
opportunity for a real public service,
As It Is now acting, tt Is of no service
to anybody it Is a political sounding
board. In view of Its fixed preju
dices and partisanship and Its unfair
methods of taking and reporting tes
timony, the conclusion Is inescapable
that the board Is not proceeding In
good faith to fulfill Its public obliga
tions.
"Its continuance as an agency of
government would enable It to pro
mote private purposes at the public
expense, and in my Judgment, would
Impair seriously the usefulness or
the national recovery administration.
Agrees With Sinclair.
NRA took no public issue with Sin
clair's minority report, and Johnson
gave out today correspondence be
tween himself and Senator Borah of
Idaho, and Nye of- North Dakota,
which showed the administrator In
partial agreement with the minority
member's view.
To Borah he had written last De
cember In explanation of his desire
for a review board along lines sug
gested by Nye :
"However devoted and high minded
our personnel may be, It must be
made up of men trained in Industry
and dependent on Industrial employ
ment for their continued living. The
Influence of Immense industrial units
Is so great that It at least has power
to intimidate even the strongest man,
who Is so dependent:
"But there are people In this coun
try whose standing rests not in their
dependence on. but In their depend
ence of, this Influence. The senator's
suggestion, therefore, appealed to me
as the missing piece In this organization."
Reactions Awaited.
The reactions of the two Indepen
dent senators to the Darrow views arc
awaited almost as keenly as that of
the White House. Nye personally had
nominated the board's personnel,
after refusing to head the agency In
person.
Despite the general finding for so

ing need. That la Borah's position,
as restated In a letter to Johnson
dated March 3:
I am in full sympathy with the
effort which is being made by you to
deal with the problems presented by
the NRA touching small business and
the consumer.
Need Trust I a its.
'Of course, as you know, I feel that
you cannot accomplish what you wish
to accomplish until we restore the
anti-trust laws. But, nevertheless.
anything that can be done, you will
have my aupport."
The major Darrow report consisted
of a brief synopsis and general state
ment of opinion, ending In an asser
tion that NRA can't do the Job as
signed to It.
It contained, also, separate report
on the code for steel, coal mining,
motion pictures, electrical manufac
turing, dyeing and cleaning, rubber
footwear. Ice manufacture and coal
retailing. In more or less degree It
denounced all but one as oppressive
and productive of monopoly, and It
proposed radical changes in most. The
cleaning code was pasced without
recommendation on the feeling that
"no appreciable results could be ob
tained by amending the code."
