. I talk to you the citizens of the united states today about my new recovery program the NRA. The NRA was established under the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933, to prevent unfair competition, disastrous overproduction, and the cycle of low wages and prices. The first to draft a code which included 40 hour work week, a child labor ban, a minimum wage, and collective bargaining. The vast responsibilities of the NRA were unfortunately over powered, so they couldn’t enforce there responsibilities. The way the NRA’s head Hugh Johnson had to get stubborn industries to draft codes was by using a moral propaganda campaign, the Blue Eagle drive. The producers that ended up making the codes were the large producers, at the expense of small business, labor, and consumers.
