He has traveled extensively in Belgian colonies and in America, where he was a guest of Herbert Hoover in 1919.

JOHNSON SEEKS NRA CRITICISM (CONTINUED E'ROM fAGE ONE)_ emmeiital administration ever voluntarily exposed itself to a general public review: and "Second, neither here nor in any other country has it ever been possible to hold a responsible and representative industrial and economic congress—not merely of commentators — but of tlie controlling units of practically the whole of industry and commerce in the United States acting in partnership with, and under the ultimate control of the government itself.'' Johnson expressed tlie triple duty [of NRA thus: "it is to see that industry does not hornswaggle labor; that labor does not bullyrag industry; that neither, separately, nor both, in concert, shall exploit the consuming public.'' "Thus we sit always in the white | beat of controversy," lie continued. 1 "Industry' accuses labor, labor accuses industry and consumers ac- [ cusc Iwtli. Johnson protested blind criticism ! against individuals, explaining: "The NRA is a law for tlie com mon good, and any man who seeks to undermine the common confidence in such a law, not by argument or statement of fact, but by 1 unsupported abuse of men or arbitrary and unproved assertions —

The: author of the series, he said, had | "more than a trace of rodent blood.’’ ' J The Post, published by Eugene! Meyer, former head of the Federal reserve board, answered Johnson's charges with tlie following editorial in its late editions today "Gen. Johnson, in a nationwide broadcast, without calling it by name, characterised the Washing ton Post us a 'dying newspaper.’ "In fairness to the Post it must he stated that since it passed under its present management, June 12, 1933, Its circulation lias increased 37 per cent. • » • "The Post is publishing, in serial form, a book called "The New Dealer! ’’ as man rial of interest to its readers, and In eacli issue has stated that the views expressed do not necessarily represent th opinions cf the Post. “The Post has a high regard for the ability, energy and devotion to the public interest of Gen. Johnson. It is a matter of regrot that it cannot also admire his self-control or temperance tn public utterance.” The offending articles, Johnson said: I ‘ Arc published by a dying newspaper, recently purchased at' auction by an old dealer—a cold blooded reactionary—who was one t of the principal guides along the ; road to disaster of 1929.
