writers who had fled unstopped
their ears, essayed grins, and
several muttered: "Aw, I wish
I'd gotten here in time to see it."

PAPER PUBLISHED
Commerce Professor's Article in
Virginia Quarterly Is Called
Very Important.
The south must oppose the
growing economic nationalism
of the country in view of its own
welfare, Professor Claudius Mur
chison of the commerce school
writes in an article in the Jan
uary 1934 Virginia Quarterly
Review.
To stimulate foreign buying
of southern products, the south
should support war debt cancel
lation and devaluation of the
dollar, Murchison declares.
Among other points made in the
article are the following:
The south should oppose the
raising of tariff rates to the
point of reducing imports, thus
causing the decrease of exports,
since the section is dependent
on the export trade to foreign
countries and to other sections.
Culturally and. economically
the south is built upon cotton
culture, yet southerners persist
in upholding the policies of Buy
American, collecting war debts,
high tariffs, though each of these
movements will seriously dam
age the south's export trade.
Professor Murehison also pre
dicts that a continuation of eco
nomic nationalism will force the
south into medievalism, and that
even the benefits of the NRA
will not save the south from
acute agricultural maladjust
ments. '
Professor Murchison's article
is described by the University
of Virginia news service as
"one of the most important ar
ticles that has ever been publish
ed by the Virginia Quarterly
Review."
