...your exhibit at the Fair: you present a paradox. Your coined phrase, "The March of Time," connotes an irresistible moving force. And yet your exhibit is practically the only static thing, at the Exposition. Expected, after viewing complicated manoeuvers of spectacular science, were, at least, a handful of clocks, or perhaps a gigantic hourglass.

We'll listen to everybody before we get through," promised General Johnson, referring to public hearings on all codes before their submission to the President for final approval. First "goldfish" to go on exhibit in the Washington bowl was the cotton textile industry. Week before a cotton textile code had been turned in to General Johnson. He thought the industry had done "a very beautiful job" even though its minimum wage fell $4.40 per week short of General Johnson's own standard and its maximum...
