Final Testimony on N R A by Hugh S Johnson
Former Cavalry officer General Hugh S Johnson testified before the senate finance committee that NRA mistakes were administrative, not legal. He warned abandoning NRA would be like burning down a house to rid attic rats, and urged preservation to avoid returning to pre 1933 conditions. Johnson released an 88 page memo with charts, arguing the capitalist system can improve without collapsing, describing postwar industry as disintegrating the profit system.
