Monday, September 24, Will By Leroy Bechmnn IF YOU were to advance five dol- lars toward witnessing a world- scrien baseball game, to watch two “buckles” battle for the world’s wrestling championship, or see Dempsey scrap with Tunney —~—- not even then would you gain the full significance of the word “fight” as portrayed by activities under the New Deal. Attacks by interests op— posed have caused the administration to fall short of its policies in order to foster self-preservation. The AAA faces drought, the NRA faces indus— trial strife, and the combine faces professional criticism. CONFRONTING the facts, it is evident that the AAA plan was the victim of circumctancce. Intended for crop control and more specifical- ly for crop reduction in view of sun plug commodities, the plan was foiled by nature alone and the ad» ministration was labeled the “mic- deal”. However, the AAA law doee not merely call for cutting down crops; it provides for increasing them if necesmry. 'Blut destructive criticism weighs heavily against rev construction. Failure of the NRA labor provisions to mointeim har— mony between employer and em- ploye has caused the administration no end of trouble. Restrictions im- posed upon the industrialist by the NRA have cornered him to the ex- tent that he cannot meet the do mands through collective bargaining, a provision of the some act. vomme dieeenoi‘on'most some. fully have been the trade unions and alfiliations of the American Fedora» tion of Labor. Because the NRA em- phasized certain rights of the labor- er, it was deemed necessary to play havoc with established industry, It is not implied here that the labor unions exists for no good. 011 the contrary, to achieve idcnle through union is most desirable, provided the “ideals” are not preposterous. With reference to the many strikes pro» dominant in national affairs most recently, we recall several instances where the union has demanded con— trol of the employment office. What industrialiet, we ask, who has offered combat to a depleted market for the last four years, will consent to die»- tation as to the type of individuals he should employ? Demands such as the foregoing have been character- istic of the union too frequently and when the union rejects arbitration and proceeds to denounce the fed- eral administration for failure to enforce the NRA, the same should be suggestive of thorough “house— cleaning" for the American Federan tion of Labor. The National Recov- ery Act was not created for the downfall of the industrialist, nor was industry intended for dictator- M W.MWM¢MW one W ‘ ?
