You cannot, said Burke, indict a people. And you cannot, in a paragraph, sound the knell of a section. Yet there are reasons for j believing that the plight of New I England, so often discussed, is reaching a climax. The industrial i 'thargy, very marked since 11121, is | at present causing hardly less con tern to the powers that he than j the bowlings of the farmers. New England howls with an eye to her 'dignity, but she howls nevertheless I And now the government nt Wash j ington is to diagnose herd dis ease and, if possible, suggest a remedy. The trouble of which we ho: r the most, of course, has to do with i the textile industries. As the ■ south advances. New England falls back. Nearly every year the ! South reports more spindles )n her mills. Nearly every year New England barely holds her o\v u. Even the finer grades of cotton yarn and cloth ere now being pro, duced successfully below the Poto mac, Then there are other aspects, of which the recent—and so far un successful-effort to penalize Bnl * 'more by reducing the freight rate *rom the west to New England ports is an example. New Eng land’s .carrying trade is not what it was. The attempt to eliminate the differential was a move to stave off the inevitable. It was hardly sportsmanlike, perhaps, hut one does not expect sportsmanship for those in extremis. The fundamental trouble with New England, of course, is geogra phical. The map tells the story. The main currents of trade are east and west. The eastern ports, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, get their reasonable share of business be cause they are on the main lines. But if business—in the modern large-scale sense- wants to go i> New England, it must go out of its way, as if a mat? bound from Baltimore and Charles streets to Greenmount cemetery should go via Pennsylvania avenue. As a source of natural resources. New England never had much to offer. Her fields are rocky, almost Darren; her growing sea-on is short. She has few mineral.-. Her forests except Maine are being ex haused. Trail-' went to New England so long as she had the ships, so long as she had th - capital, so long as she. had the artisans. But all these things are man-made. They can he duplicated elsewhere and they are being duplicated els; where. Except for textiles and leather, with such items, a" hats and shoes thrown in. large-scale indust rv never found a permanent foothold up there. Tire south has cut in on the textiles, leather is beginning to realize that there are other Edens, and if we are not mistaken, even the makers of hats and shoes are finding it possible to prodace their wares to ' Mina!. ' a t greater, advantage in other places. . , There is nothing new in all this of course. Many years ago, soon after the Revolution, in fact, great number of New Englanders began to have their doubts and moved west, sometimes whole communi ties at once. The war of 1^12 stayed the process to some extent in that by paralyzing her ship ping it made it necessary for New England to turn to manufacturing. But the Civil War directed the south toward industry, and it nat urally turned to cotton which was the. thing to hand. The process has been continuous. Indeed, had New England been composed of lesser men in her prime it would have gone on rriucu more quickly. But the draining away of men has been steady as well. It is not impertinent to this ' discussion to mention that the public of Boston, so-called Athens of America, has submitted fir many years to the domination of a thing like the Watch and Ward society, and that it has the most imbecile dramatic censorship of all the great cities of America. Perhaps there will come along something to give New England another lease of life, to throw hi once more into the main currcn of economic progress. Perhap; means of some governmental sistance—that is, some assistant at the expense of the rest of us to add to the high tariff which „ has affixed on tre country, her tjt •line may be stayed. Perhaps som new resource will be discovert But there is a curious irony in fact that while Calvin Cooli(i„ first New Englander to sT! in' th presidential chair since Trankl the Pierce, manages the deatirw of the people, his setti should be forced to plead t pundits at Washington to ri disease and suggest a cure. ti] fg “Man Shoots Onlv two.
