.Wall Street.
Opinions in Wall Street Differ Over Difficulties of Enforcing New Business Code. Bv RALPH MENDER S *HOT Time* Sprrlal financial Urtpr
The new blanket business code appears to have gone over very well, kurprising a great many people who had doubted its voluntary acceptance. And. from ail indications. It is to be enforced very rigidly. General Hugh S. Johnston, administrator of the national recovery act, says violators will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Opinions differ in Wall Street over enforcement of the new cede. Some think the government will have its hand- full keeping the boys in line, while others feel it will be a relatively easy job. Incidentally, it may be said that leaders in the financial district appear to be growing to like the idea. Signers of the code probably can be listed in three general groups: Those v ho thought they could get some free advertising by getting on the bandwagon: those who were strongly for It and wished to show they were behind the President, and those who thought they would be forced
to sign eventually, and figured it would be good policy to fall in line now. Most of (he trouble probably may be pxpected among those in the first group listed. They are likely to chisel wherever possible, making the most of the insignia, but evading the terms of the agreement at every corner. The government may be obliged to hire watchers to seek out those evaders, but the chances are that their competitors will snitch on them if the violations threaten to hurt their businesses. a a a Trade Code and Business It still is much too early to get a line on the probable effect of the code on business. Most people grant that in theory' It sound very well, but they are not so certain that it will work out in actual practice. Thev prefer to wait and see. The stock market is expected to wait, also, but some of the best analysts maintain that if either business or market prices begin to show signs of real

weakness the inflation needle will be brought into play once more. Some insist that inflation, or at least talk of inflation, will be revived in the near future. But there are differences of opinion on that score. Those who take an opposite view are of the opinion that President Roosevelt is satisfied to let prices stabilize for a time in order to let the new code get into operation. After the consumer power has been built up sufficiently to support present price levels, they feel he will again direct his attention toward another forward movement in values. a a a Inflationists Still Working It is known, of course, that inflationists have not weakened at all in their drive for dollar devaluation. They still maintain that the only way out is to create more dollars, and they arc pushing the administration as much as possible in that direction. But Wall Street has come to believe that Mr. Roosevelt can not be pushed much. He lends a willing ear to all suggestions, but he accepts only those he feels he can use to advantage Consequently, the Street is not inclined to anticipate too much, preferring to await actual developments.

In a Movement to ‘Reflate,’ Prices Should Rise in the Proportion They Have Fallen. BY WALTER LIPPMANN
IN it* present phase, in the movement to have the blanket code adopted, the NRA is primarily a campaign to reverse that deflation of industrial pay rolls which, under the competitive pressure of excess labor and excess plant, had become uncontrollable by the individual action of employers and employes. The method of the blanket cod? us. by the pressure of public opinion, to fix minimum wages and maximum
hours under a general rule and then. r.s quickly as possible, to taJc? one industry after another out from under the general rule and then, as quickly as possible, to take one industry after another out from under the general rule and to put It under a special code of its own. A campaign carried on by a rousing mass opinion inevitably is centered on simple and crude ideas That is how such campaigns enlist emotion and generate power, and that is why such campaigns so easily get out of hand and become fanatical, as Mr. Santayana once said, by redoubling their efforts when they have forgotten their aim. In the case of the NRA the aim proposed to the people is the simple one of reducing hours, employing more men and of raising the lower wages. It is a desirable and understandable object. But the object will not be attained if the movement to increase pay rolls is accompanied by an im-
mediate and equivalent rise m prices. The President and Genetal Johnson have recognized this fact. The blanket code, in a somewhat vague and academic fashion, recognizes it. But in the actual administration of the NRA. and above all in the propaganda now being set going, the vitally necessary idea cf controlling prices receives little emphasis and—is rather lost to sight. I , flrroiin* nf rnrr> mr\Hlll n*•
Yet to make any kind of reasonable success of the movement, the public must keep its attention fixed simultaneously and with equal interest and emphasis on the quotations of prices and on pay rolls. To fix public opinion upon the control of prices it is necessary that there should be some fairly trustworthy measure of how prices ought to behave. The blanket code provides a measure for wages and hours. It declares in some detail what the minimum should be for wages and the maximum for hours. But in respect to prices it has not yet declared any standard by which the public can judge their, movement. Is it possible to set up such a standard? In any exact and detailed and absolute sense the answer Is that we know too little to fix prices by public opinion. But In a general sense, accompanying the fact that we are dealing broadly and crudely with things at large, a rough standard of public judgment can be set up. We can say. I think, that in a movement to •‘reflate," prices should rise in the proportion that they have fallen, that those which have fallen most should rise the mast, and those which have fallen least should rise the least. a a a IF we take this principle as our guide, our task is to measure the fall in prices of different kinds of goods. We then can see almost at a glance what kinds of goods are entitled to rise in rough proportion to other goods. A compilation of this sort covering the wholesale prices of 784 commodities up to June has just been made by the bureau of labor statistics under the direction of Commissioner Lubin. It provides a suitable though rough, map by which to determine where we were, where we are and where we ought to aim to go in the movement of prices. This report shows, for example, that between June. 1929, and February, 1933—that is to say, from the peak of prosperity to the pit of the depression—the price of farm products and goods fell 60.4 per cent, whereas all other commodities fell only 28.2 per cent. It is, therefore a clear conclusion that “recovery.” w-hich restores a true balance, would require farm prices to rise much faster than other prices. This is just what happened between February and June. By that time the fall of farm products had decreased, being 48.5 per cent of June, 1929, and other prices had decreased 25 per cent of June, 1929. The gap was closing and the closing of the gap was a sign of economic health. a a a BUT now, under NRA. a movement is under way to increase costs in other than farm commodities. Can we set up a rough standard of prices to determine which
|p
groups of commodities are entitled to rise faster than others? The following table gives a general idea of the order in which the procession ought to move, judged in the percentages which prices in June, 1933, had declined from June 1929: Dec. Pet. 1. Farm products 48 5 2. Foods 38.3 3. Textile products 31.7 4. Fuel and light materials .... 27 2 5. Hides and leather products.. 23.6 6. House furnishings 22.4 7. Metal and metal products ... 21 6 8. Building materials 21.5 If we base our opinions on this list we shall conclude that farm products, for example, ought either to rise more or that metal products and building materials ought to decline somewhat more. These prices still are badly out of balance. The list shows, too, that prices have been maintained relatively highest in those goods which arc least perishable. This means that the producers of the more perishable goods—that is. food and clothing—are not earning enough to build houses and equip them, or to buy machinery and tools in quantity at the prices prevailing. Now, it is no accident that the deepest unemployment and the worst of the industrial depression is in those industries which are at the lower end of the list. a a a THE NRa in its administration and in its propaganda should take account of the situation which these figures reveal. I have, of course, for lack of spare, given rough summaries, but the general relationshins are. I believe, as I have represented them. The broad conclusion to be draw n might be that under the NRA and the agricultural administration some rise in textile prices and in food is justified, that fuels and leather goods ought probably to be held stable, that the prices of metal products and building materia Ls ought probably to be reduced. The alternative to such a discriminating control of prices would in all probability be a general defeat of the NRA. followed by a spiral of vicious inflation. For unless the prices of goods at the lowpr end of the list, which go largely into capital equipment and durable goods, are kept from rising and in certain flagrant cases reduced, we shall be forced into a movement in which farm prices and industrial wages forever are chasing other prices and never catching up with them.

WHEAT SCORES GOOD ADVANCE | IN SLOW DEALS Trade Awaits Working Out of NRA Codes Before Taking Action. BY HAROLD E. RAINVTLLE l nilfd Trm Stiff Corre pondent CHICAGO. Aug. 9 —Wheat made a good fractional a ivance as the Board of Trade opened today Scattered buying revealed little pressure and prices were 4 to 4 cent higher. Firmness in stocks and higher cables as well as the talk of a "commodity dollar" were factors. The other grains followed wheat. Corn was 4 to \ cent higher. Oats j 4 to 4 cent higher Rye was 14 cents higher but rather slow. Barley made a \ cent advance from the minimum levels. Provisions were firmer. There is an underlying current of bullishness to the wheat marketOpinion is practically unanimous, however, that little action will be seen pending the working out of the NRA codes, their effect observed, and markpt restrictions removed. Crops are below domestic requirements Strength in cash wheat is encouraging Lack of an export demand weakens Winnipeg at times. Liverpool was strong and 4 to H cent higher at mid-afternoon. Corn has a good undertone notwithstanding the fair crop prospects. The government report due Thursday is being awaited with soma eagerness. Advices from the American and Canadian northwest confirm a short oats crop. Cash demand is active.
