Utmost Care Needed The need for utmost care in handl- ing developments of the NRA pro- gram is illustrated by a recent in- cident affecting the Texas company, one of the nation’s largest oil re- finers and distributors. This firm participated in framing the code for the oil industry and is observing both the spirit and letter of that document, according to a statement issued from its home of- fices. Yet it became the victim of a misunderstanding when it clashed with the oil administration over the question of price regulation. The company opposes the fixing of prices on the ground that it will do! the industry no good and may, in fact, result in real harm. It feels that the sound approach to the ques- tion lies in bringing the production of crude oil into balance with consump- tive demand and leaving prices to take care of themselves. It was widely reported throughout the country, however, that the Texas company had refused to cooperate with the oil administration, denying it access to the company's records and otherwise attempting to ham- string the effort to restore order in this chaotic industry. ‘This, the company asserts, is not the fact. It has notified the oil ad- ministrator of willingness to furnish any data asked but reiterates its un- willingness to “participate in framing 2 @ price schedule by the expression of q opinions as distinguished from facts.” 4 In this it would seem to be just- ; ified. The main thing in connection 4 with any code is whether or not it is being observed. It would be bad, in- deed, if every industry were called ‘upon to accept every suggestion made by the code administrators without question. It is inevitable that changes in these codes will prove necessary from time to time. They are experimen- tal at best. Under these circum- stances independent thought is much to be desired and more benefit will result from critical analysis than | - from unquestioning compliance. ‘The policy is established and is re- ceiving nation-wide support, but de- velopments under the policy will continue to challenge the best thought in industry. The hotter the 7 arguments the more conducive are they to careful consideration and jus- tice in the long run. a Instead of being condemned for its attitude, this big oil company should be commended for raising such ques- tions. as it feels should be presented for further study. It is not only a right, it is a duty to fight for what. it believes to be the proper thing. It is necessary, in the considera- tion of these things, that the public keep in mind the essential differences between conformity with a policy and disagreement as to the wisdom of the policy itself. Let Us Prepare for Change One of the most perplexing things about living in 1933 is that the world’s leading thinkers seem quite unable to make up their minds whether we are approaching a sunset or a dawn. and that no matter what the future brings us it is going to be something different than what we have had be- have come upon a time of change, and those of us who don’t like change seem to be very much out of luck. Yet it is also quite possible that the seers are mostly wrong. The dis- asters they foresee may not be quite as bad as they expect; the improve- ments may leave us only a little bit better off than we were. The im- portant thing is that we accept the fact that some sort of change is com- ing and prepare our minds for it, Destroying a Fable One of the things which the re- turn of beer has done for the aver- age American is to give him more information about the beverage and the processes by which it is made and transported than any previous generation has had. Before prohibition people took beer as a matter of course. There wasn’t & great deal of public interest in the Processes of malting. The average customer, knowing only that it was sold in bottles or wooden kegs, ¢ame to the conclusion that the oak used in the larger containers had some- thing to do with the flavor. In this, as most of them now know, they were mistaken. The kegs were lined with pitch to keep the beer from soaking into the wood .and making the container “sour” and unfit for further use. The idea that the oak contributed to the flavor was just idle fancy. This information became generally known when modern brewers began shipping their product in steel kegs and met with a protest from consum- ers over the fact. They were forced to make public explanation that the only reason they hadn't done so in the old days was the impossibility of making the pitch lining stick to metal. In the time between prohibition and the return of beer that difficulty was overcome by advances in metal- lurgical and chemical science. The result has nothing to do with the flavor of the beer but it does have @ tendency to make the product cheaper, since the metal kegs last longer and are generally lighter in weight, with @ resultant saving in shipping costs, Good Citizenship Charles F. Urschel, victim of the Harvey Bailey-George Kelly kidnap gang, is a millionaire but rich and poor alike may accept him as a model of good citizenship. By his refusal to weaken in the face of vicious threats against his life and that of members of his fam- ily, Urschel proves the mettle of which he is made. Whatever the con- sequences, he has cast his lot with that of good government and will continue to assist the government in its prosecution of Bailey and the other captured kidnapers. This takes nerve of a quality all too rare in these times, for a threat by “Machine-Gun George” Kelly is not a thing to be taken lightly. The man already has many murders chalked up in his record. To him the spilling of blood is a casual matter. Various efforts being made to in- timidate witnesses and to plot the release of Bailey and his confederates if they are convicted testify to the fact that a major criminal gang has been broken up. It is to the interest of society everywhere that its mem- bers be put in jail and kept there. If and when this is accomplished, Urschel and other members of his family will be entitled to credit. Meanwhile, they should have every protection which the government. can give them.
