Alfred E. Smith, writing in the New Outlook, asserted he | might be “old-fashioned” but he could not understand how the na- tional recovery act “can possibly work.” “T have never hesitated to re- commend the extension of govern- ment activities to meet the needs | of a growing population in an age of industrial invention,” wrote Smith, democratic presidential nominee in 1928, “but this plan goes beyond anything my imagina- tion can follow.” At the bottom of the causes of the depression, said Smith, is hu- man nature. He added that it was only by raising the general level of human character through- out the world that a new society, free from the causes of depres- sion, can be brought about. “Viewed from this angle,” Smith continued, “the job is one for the | philosopher, the priest and the doc- tor rather than the | statesman, lawyer or business executive. Too Much Faith “I do not mean to say that we must spinelessly accept present conditions. I do mean to. imply that there is such a thing as put- in political and scientific schemes of salvation. This is the field day for the ‘academic planner, for the man who has been reading-in the li- brary, writing books and lecturing to students, and who now has a great big laboratory for experi-| ment.” The first article of thé recovery act, said Smith, provides for the control of business and “is obvious- ly the work of the new school of social and economic planners.” The act, he continued, contemplat- ing agreements governing all branches of industry, abrogates the Sherman anti-trust law. “The act is labeled as a tem- porary emergency measure so as to get it by the United States su- preme court,” said Smith. Initiative Crippled “If its terms are carried out lit- erally, the tendenc; ill undoubt- edly be to cripple initiative, legal- ze and even officially encourage, monopoly, raise prices and require higher tariffs to maintain the new structure. In such a triumph of | bureaucracy, the little man would be lost in the shuffle. “On the other hand,” he con- tinued, “the powers may not ac- tually be used. It may be just an- other case of giving the radica the machine and letting the con- servatives run it. If this is so, in the end it will ngt satisfy either group, and both groups are likely to feel that they bave been handed the bologna. “Tam in favor of applying the curb to industry where necessary, but not of placing the heavy, paralyzing hand of the government upon all the business enterprises of the nation. I believe in good public administration, but I know ts limitations. I am in favor of restoring conditions which make business leadership possible rather han of looking to the government to provide it.” Manufacture of dry ice, from the carbon dioxide which is one of the elevating forces in the mud volcanoes in the Imperial valle Calif., has been begun.
