He proposed a co-operative system *under voluntary codes or whatever they would be called.” aDractices, “such as child labor,” would be outlawed, but the codes would have *“no price fixing.” “Under this set-up,” he declared, the Government “would sit in as um- Ammunition made | here is needed for the Reich’s own re- | The remark is often heard among‘ Bad trade | hall” exhibited by Charles G.
