PAGE TWO EX-BOSS OF NRA IN EMPHATIC PLEA F (OontlcuM ttom psge on.) which he contended NRA u nec essary because the profit system had broken down "like the collapse or an empty alietl." In general, Johnson recommended eatenslon of the present law, but he proposed the creation of "some ad ministrative BKency" to permit some "necessary" relaxation of the anti trust laws, without allowing the "abusM" they were designed to pre vent, Aa the general proceeded he became Increasingly emphatic. He screwed about on his chair until t one time he actually had one shoulder braced against the table while nil voice poured out derision of "the big ehots of industry" for opposing codes he aald were meant to help "the little fellow." Snorts Dlgut He virtually enorted his disgust at the "grand and glorious doctrine of Lalssez ralre'." "Price filing under NRA." he said scornfully. "Is Just a big bugaboo." He contended that only nine codes had any price fixing provisions and four of them had never been put into On the whole, Johnson said em phatlcally. NRA ha. "brought vast balance of good." He contended It had helped the little man, by pre venting his destruction, and had helped labor. He conceded, however, that the law had not given labor "all the rights Intended." On the controversial subject of production control. Johnson said "If we can't regulate this economic en gine the next step will be abolition of the profit system and page Mr. Stalin." , "No more explosive act of destruc tion could bo committed than to kill It now and go back to the utter fu tility of the system we had here be fore 1033." Johnson testified. Warns of Fallacy The hard hitting former cavalry of ficer warned that It was a "fallacy" to contend the old capitalistic sys tem could not be Improved upon and that "If we go back to that fallacy, the capitalists system Is on Its way out In the very near future." His was the final testimony in the senate's Investigation Into the opera tions of NRA. prior to the drafting of new legislation. He presented the committee an 88 page statement of his views on NRA and Its future, together with elabor ate charta to bear out hla conten tions. Most of his statement was written In a fsctual, dispassionate vein, but occasionally he lapsed Into the ver nacular, and picturesque language which made him famous as the "crack-down" head ofthe blue eagle organization. Huge Crowd Present The huno crowd assembled to hear Johnson forced the finance commit tee to use the largest assembly room In the senate office building the caucus room. Reviewing the developments In In dustry following the war, Johnson aald they disclosed "a slow and Im placable disintegration of the profit aystem, and especially of unregulated and uncontrolled operation thereof, u a reliable plan for keeping our people employed." "When the structure smashed In 1DJB." he added, "It was not a sledge hammer cracking up a solid brick. It was the collapse of sn empty shell." Five Types survive with this collopsc, and the down ward splrol which followed, Johnson said, only flvo typos of concerns could survive. He named them as "the con cern with the big war chest and a swollen surplus:" "the natural mon opoly," "the dealers In Indlspensl bles." "the sweatshop," snd "the ghoul buyer snd operator of bank rupt stacks and assets." "This Is where our economic sys tem was trending from before the war and to Its utter and complete col lapse In March. 1033." he added. "This Is what happened to us under the anti-trust nets, the federal trade enmmlHston, and the rtoctrlno of Lals se Fslre and It happened uninter ruptedly and with no relieving In cident lor a period of 33 years. "I don't know a tiTeat industrial country that does not recount the necessity fur taking control of this tendency wltk'h Is going on all over the world. Won't Admit Failure "I freely admit the foults and er rors of the NKA and will flint as hard as anybody to correct them. But It was the rim IntelllKrnt attempt ever made by this government to eherk this tendency. X won't admit Its failure. Especially 1 won't accede to any madness thst would remove Its control snd go bsck to the un regulated condition of futility that preceded It." Johnson added that "we hare got to keep control of this economic ma chine and prevent and turn back many of the tendencies of the past 3B years." Conceding many mistakes In his administration of NRA, Johnson told the closely listening senators he was "Inclined to spree" with the criti cism by Senator Nye (R.. N. D.l. that the recovery administration was pre serving monopolies in the code struc ture. Abuse Crept In When Nye made thst criticism. Johnson said, "we were still In the throes of making codes and a good deal of abuse crept In." "I do not for one moment con tend." he said, "that there were not serious lapses In this rapid' ty of progress, thst rotten provisljns did not creep Into codes, that personnel was not far from perfect, thst code authorities were properly organised, that administration has been per fect or even very good. "But I do contend, and I think 1 can show, that such fault as arose were due to my bad administration rsthf thsn had law, that many If not most of these errors of mine are la proccat (it eiltcute cunutUau."
