EX-BOSS OF NRA
IN EMPHATIC PLEA

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."
