THE ADVANTAGES OF EXPORT COMPANY ARE OUTLINED Hugh McRae, of Wilmington, Addressed Business and Manufacturing Men of Gastonia Monday in Interest of the South Atlantic Export Company Gas tonia Joins the Movement Object of the Company. Business ami manufacturing men of Gastonia at a-meeting Wednesday after noon in the moms of the chamber of commerce joined tin- mo fluent towards perfecting the North Carolina unit of tlie South Atlantic Kxport Company. Thin corporation will co-operate with the South Atlantic Maritime Corporation in developing and st im ulat i ng domestic ami foreign trade of the southeastern states. Following an address by Mr. Hugh McRae, of Wilmington, capitalist, who in visiting all of the principal c ities in the State in the interest of the corpora tion, Mr. .1.

M r. Mediae spoke of t he chant:!" ditioiis bioiight about I ix the wni ho said had ''entirely reshaped 1 con w hirh world." This undergo other time and plans condition, said lie. "ill hanges within a short oni-eived now w ill lie ob- solete in two years aid made with a vision of urged the business men s the plans are the future. He if the South At- lantic states to shape their a vision of the future wh policies with e the condi tions were in this plastic state. Pedaling that North Carolina has had no volume of export Inisiness in the past, Mr. McRae predicted that the opening up of Hie four South Atlantic states will result in the inauguration of industrials which otherwise will lie prevented from enjoying n .satisfactory Inisiness hy the nature ftf existing conditions. ''The country hack of the ports must develop to make use of the imported materials, and this section has the facilities or eas ily may provide such facilities,'' said he. "The south is potentially the greatest part of the United States, hut apparently is backward, due to the ill effects of ar tificial conditions, including unfavorable rail and water shipping rates, lack of fi nancial resources and kindred defieiences. However, the strongholds of the great eastern ports on rail and water rates and on each class of rates, has been broken and the south is now offered the wonder ful opportunity of securing, through con certed action, the rates that have been fought for during a long period of years. "The south is getting away and must continue to get away from the one crop idea. Every section to prosper must have an objective but no section can exist on one idea. There must be varied indus tries to insure normal growth. ''Creation of wealth is the most vital eiuisideration. When a section has a bumlance, each individual is enabled to participate in the benefits, and also each individual should participate in the crea tion of that wealth. "America is to take a leading part in the world's commerce. This nation made no concerted effort to attain such a posi tion. It was thrust upon her. Much ad iiisfnient remains to be worked out, ,but the possibilities lire not obscured. To do her part, North Carolina must act now. "In the plan of organizing the South Atlantic Kxport Company, a quasi-public corporation composed of a league of cit ies in four states, each city will lie n friendly rival of the other but also they are joined together to get the full bene fits and rights of their position, on equal ity with the eastern interior cities and ports.. ' ' The South Atlantic Kxport Company will be organized with an authorized eapi ital of $4,000,000 and an immediate capi tal of $2,000,000. Mr. McRae said. how ever, that Matthew Hale, who originally proposed this organization, says business may be undertaken with a paid in capital of $400,000,with $1000,000 allotted to each of the four states. Each state's part dis tributed among the various cities will mean only a nominal part of the capital will be absorbed by each. In closing "Mr. McRae appealed to the Gastonia business men to co-operate with the southern manufacturers in order to prevent further "exploitation of this sec tion by other sections. Don't manufac ture your products to be exploited by others, secure that profit for yourselves. " With Mr. UcRae was a delegation of Charlotte men composed of Messrs. Clar ence O. Kuester, Word H. Wood and 8. B. Tanner, Jr. Mr. Wood spoke briefly of the work Mr. McRae was doing with out pay or hope thereof in promoting the South Atlantic Export Company. McArver Barn Burns.
