N >r dies it anywhere envisage the advantages which would accrue fi i rn low r class rates. Tins intensely lopsided presenta tion suggests that the railr. ads may have int!ucnci the department f agriculture, perhaps through tne instrumentality of large agricultural shippers, upon whom they hav? boi n working h .r.i to oppose the southern g> w mors' conference. The truth is that a majority of the poor |e of the South, and many in the Vt -t, have come to the reali zation that without greater indus trialization t: 'ir sections cannot hope fit have the n'i:t> advantages in education and material culture as tlic people of the Kast and Middle West. Poverty. illiteracy. bad health, ignorance will continue to oppress a large percentage of the people of the South and West until average income is raised through development of industry. Until then local governments cannot give their people the same advantages as people in other parts of the country Other Sections Unhurt In no way can the industrialization e>f the South and West hurt the farm ers of those areas. By increasing average income, industry will in crease the consuming capacity of the South a'id West for all of the things the farmer grows. It can mean only the development of rich er markets nearer to the farms. Industrialization of one region never injures the farmers of another re gion, but only expands the markets for the things he ships. Even the big shippers, some of whom have been told that commodi ty rates might be raised if class rates were equalized, would not be losers, but would gain from in creased prosperity anywhere. True, progress has been made by industry in the South, even un der the handicap of a 39 per cent class rate discrimination. Removal of this handicap would support one of the chief hopes we have of main taining a high level of employment and income after the war. • • • Those who understand the great struggle between the small farmers and the big farmers, see in this freight rate situation just another phase of the conflict. By increasing the economic standards of the South, many small farmers would be enabled to operate more profitably, and enjoy more of the advantages of this modern age. On the other hand, by holding back the industrial growth of the South, many more small farmers would be forced to become hired hands on the grow ing plantation! of the large farmers, THE DANBI'RY REPORTER.
