Johnson released a series of crisp statistics which he said constituted "convincing evidence that now is the time to buy." He said his "up-to-theminute sketch" of how far progress already has gone showed economic rehabilitation of the Nation had not just started, but was well under way. Simultaneously, the NRA consumers advisory board brought the battle over price fixing which has blocked action on retail codes near a showdown by defining its position. The board warned against "profiteering prices" but recommended price-control on a quasipublic utility basis to avoid cutthroat competition.

In letters to manufacturers and advertisers, General Johnson sought their support for the buying campaign, scheduled to start Monday, by citing "a few characteristic items" which he said were strong evidence of a new era of economic security. "Factory employment is up 24 per cent. in August, 1933, as against August, 1932," he said. "Industrial production, is up 71 per against the same month' last year. Business failures decreased 47 per cent.

in August. Farm prices were up 33 per cent. in July of this year. "Payrolls increased 40 per cent. in August.
