The abrupt termination of the NRA by the U.S. Supreme Court will soon test the soundness of industry's insistent claim. When the NRA was established in 1933, industry had shown very clearly its incapacity for self-government. Wages had been disastrously reduced and the markets for goods thereby destroyed. It is pertinent now to look back over the record of the first years of the depression to see what progress has been made in raising wages and in spreading and stabilizing employment.
