1, LOOiOAT WASHINGTON By Hugo S. Sims, Washington Correspondent Is the Nation' No. 1 Economic Prob- lent the Result of War ana national principal manteis. PoUcies? " j On the same line, Walter Lippman, Early this month, President Roose-j weii known newspaper writer, re velt expressed the conviction thatcentiy gajd, in the Jong period . . . the South presents right now the after the Civil War, the South has nation's No. 1 economic problem" be cause "we have an economic unbal ance in the nation as a whole due to this very condition of the South." The President's statement was reaa in conference of twenty-three Southerners by Lowell Mellett, Direc tor of the National Emergency Coun cil, who submitted a report prepared from Government sources and stress ing the following facto. The South is richly endowed with physical resources and offers great er diversity of climate, soil and topo graphy than any other region of the country. It is poor in the (machinery j of converting its potentialities to riches, having only sixteen per cent of the tools with which people make their living, although containing twenty-eight per cent of the nation's population. With less than one-third of the na tion's area, the South contains well over one-third of the nation's good farm acreage. It has two-thirds of all lands receiving a 40-inch rainfall or better. It has almost half of the lands receiving a 40-inch rainfall or better. It has almost half of the land on which crops can grow for six months or more without danger of frost However, with over half the country's farmers, the South had less thai one-fifth of the nation's farm implements. More, than any other section, the South is confronted with the problem of excess population. Already the most thickly populated rural area, its -population is growing more rapidly than any other region. This increase is expected to reach 7,000,000 in the next twenty years. The resulting ...... nwiy nMUQUM Vt Q Ct imuf A VAPin relationship which once appeared ftx ed. White people are displacing -Negroes in such trades as barbering, waiting on tables, tending elevators, etc. 1 '- h With more than half of the farm people, the South gets only one-fifth of the nation's agricultural income. The average Southern farmer does not make enough to feed, clothe and school his children decently. More than half, in 1936, made less than $765 and many had incomes as low as $300. Few of the South's children start out on an equal footing with children of other sections because they do not have an equal opportunity to get training in public schools. In 1936, an average of $25.11 was spent peri child on schools. This was less than half of the national average and one fourth of the amount spent per child in the . State of New York. President Roosevelt did not go into "the long history of how this situa tion came to be" but he called it "the long and ironic history of the depsoiling of this truly American sec tion of the country's population." What the Chief Executive sought was a clear perspective of the task as it is today. But as the New York Times says, "The first step toward the cure of such a problem is correct diagnosis." Consequently, it may be profitable to the entire population of the United States to look into con ditions in the South and attempt to discover the causes which have brought about such a problem The Christian Science Monitor, published at Boston, Mass., says "After seventy-five years, America ! still has a monumental example ofi the cost of war in the problems of the Southern States ... To the vic tor may belong the spoils, but these are mighty few in a long-sustained struggle, and to him eventually, in a contest between brothers, goes the responsibility for helping to rehabili tate the fallen." Declaring that the South "is not without responsibility in part for the plight," The Monitor asks, "What are the origins of that disparity which too many Northerners dismiss with, 'Oh, the South is just naturally poor and backward?'" It continues: "Seldom has a region been so com pletely stripped of its capital as the South was after the War Between the States. Her manufacturing plants wero worn out. ner slaves, a major lorm oi investment, were freed. Her, money was valueless. To rebuild from the ground up, capital had to come from outside and it came war .iljr. IO make marrera arnmsa . . - . " w.hn., Kill.

The concentrated control of credit having worked to retardythe industrial development of the South and to keep it in the posi tion of a colony producing cheap, raw materials." Concluding its editorial, from which we have quoted above, Tne Christian Science Monitor says, "The South can do more for itself if the conditions which affect its income are improved." Moreover, if adds, "The nation in general will profit by alter ing the conditions that tend to keep the South a conquered province out side , the Union. There is an oppor tunity and responsibility to make her a full-fledged and equal-privileged member of the national family. In the above discussion we have not attempted to give an exposition of the Southern viewpoint in connec tion with the problem discussed. This would, naturally, stress the compli cated problems which arise in a re gion inhabited by diverse races. It would discuss the Reconstruction policies of the victorious North and explain how the beaten and impover ished White people of the South sub ordinated every problem to that of maintaining their 'control of the Southern States. It would explain the political unity of the South and assert, without equivocation, the con tinued determination of the White people of the South to maintain con trol of that area.
