Good, Afternoon Citizens of America. Recently, on June 16 1933, we have passed the most important and far reached act ever enacted by the United States’ Congress. The National Recovery Administration, or NRA, was proposed by myself under the National Industrial Recovery Act, and is to prevent unfair competition between big businesses and small companies, stop over-production, and put an end to the cycle of low prices and wages. I have personally chosen the admiral Hugh S. Johnson to use a morale propaganda campaign, known as the “Blue Eagle Drive,” to get bullheaded industries to draft codes. The businesses and government will hammer out industry specific codes that set production quotas, wages, prices, and general business practices. The new code system uses a symbol of a Blue Eagle that is to be put in commercial enterprises’ windows to be displayed as a sign of their cooperation with the NRA and will be considered “patriotic .” To achieve patriotism for a business, one must have first achieved fair practice conditions. Conditions may include, but are not limited to fair wages, hours, and vacation or sick days for the work force. This system is to promote citizens to shop at stores with these symbols to show their patriotism. Some have argued that the NRA will limit production therefore penalizing the consumer, but I assure that is not the intention. The NRA will improve our economy by stopping monopolies from controlling everything, therefore lessening the prices of the products our country consumes. This will let citizens buy more things than they were able to, enabling profit for the companies, allowing more production of goods. That will cause an increase for jobs needed in the U.S. stabling our economy. Consumers should feel more patriotic shopping at the “fair” commercial industries giving them more of a chance to stand up to big businesses. We thank you for your time and support.
