Economic Highlights It was long rumored that law yers close to the Administration— as well as those associated with industrial and business organiza tions—felt the NRA was partly unconstitutional. It was likewise believed that an NRA Supreme Court test case would result in a split decision— probably 5 to 4—as in the railroad pension and, gold seizure cases. NRA friends were certain that the liberal justices—Hughes, Cardozo, Brandeis and Stone—would uphold the law. They were almost equally certain that the conservatives—Mc Reynolds, Butler, Vandevanter and Sutherland—would vote gainst it. Their principal worry was what side Justice Roberts would take. As a result, when the Supreme Court, by a unanimous decision, threw out the NRA in entirety, the Administration was staggered. In the week following the decis ion, many wild rumors filled the air. NRA friends said that the Supreme Court’s act meant the re turn of the sweat shop, child labor, industrial peonage. NRA oppon ents said that way was now cleared for business to go ahead full blast. Democratic leaders in Congress spoke vaguely of framing new' laws which would attain the pur poses of the dead NRA, and still be constitutional. President Roose velt, in a startling press interview, intimated that he might seek a Constitutional amendment giving Congress the power the Supreme Court has said it does not now possess. Now that sufficient time has passed to review events calmly, it seems safe to say that no new NRA law will be attempted—most Administration lawyers have ad mitted that the decision leaves no room for further efforts along that line—and that the most extreme NRA friends and enemies were wrong. Employers are not cutting wages and increasing hours, and the fact that the NRA no longer exists has not given rise to a maj or boom in business overnight. So far as the public is concerned, the NRA did three things: It art ificially raised wages, shortened the working week and increased prices. Industry in general was, and still is, in favor of fair hours and wages. Since the decision, the heads of literally hundreds of maj or corporations have announced that they will not change existing wage and working conditions, and in only a handful of relatively un important cases have concerns gone back to pre-NRA standards. Prices are another matter. Once the codes were thrown out, in dustry was at liberty to operate on a competitive basis. First break came in cigarette prices, which, held by the code to a minimum of 13 cents, dropped at once to 10 and 11 cents. And in many lines of business, jobbers canceled future orders, believing that they would soon be able to buy the same pro ducts for much less money. Responsible industrialists were largely opposed to NRA price-fix inging—but they also know the disasterous possibilities of uncon trolled price cutting. As a result, various groups which were under codes have announced that they plan to voluntarily continue them, even though it i3 no longer legally obligatory. This is pleasing to the Administration, which still believes that stabilized price levels are es sential to the recovery program. Thus, th upshot of the Supreme Court’s decision is likely to result in the best phases of the NRA being continued voluntarily—while its worst phases, compulsion, price boosting and overriding the con stitutional' rigJjUfe will be dropped. It is obvious that lessening of bureaucratic control over business, which NRA immeasurably increas ed, will stimulate private initiative. It is equally obvious that the phy chological effect of the decision— which said, by intimation: “State’s rights still exist, and the federal power does not^ include dictatorship over private endeavors not within interstate commerce”—will be a spur to industrial expansion. And those who gravely feared that the decision would cause an immediate drop in the worker’s income are wrong. On the same day as the NRA decision, the Supreme Court hand ed down another opinion which, while not so publicized, is of equal importance. The Frazer-Lemke farm mort gage moratorjjim. law provided that when a farmer was threatened with foreclosure he could apply to a federal court for aid. The Court was empowered to issue a stay against the foreclosure and have the property revalued by local ap praisers. Thereafter, the law pro vided, the farmer could remain on the property for five years for a small annual rental. At any time during that period he could again regain title to the property by pay ing the appraised value—which, as the appraisal was made on the basis of depression values, was bound to be muc^ ^ess than the original mortgage. The Supreme Court, in a unani mous decision read by famed liberal Justice Brandeis, declared this law unconstitutional, as it deprived a mortgage holder of property with out just compensation as provided for in the Constitution.
