. HOSPITALITY.
If all classes of Georgians—
public officials, bankers, business
men and private citizens—will in
voke the true spirit of hospitality
in their relations with each other
and “all comers,” the greatest of
Georgia's troubles would vanish.
This is the firm belief of Editor
E. H. (Pat) Griffin of the Bain
bridge Post-Searchlight, who
would consent to be interviewed
on Georgia’s needs only if permit
ted to speak frankly.
“What is the use of inviting
people io Georgia, new citizens
and settlers,” he asked, “if, af
ter they get here, we take ex
ception to some peculiarity they
may have—to some attribute of
theirs which is different from our
own—and treat them as outsid
er»? M
“What is the use of inviting
money to Georgia to develop our
resources and build new indus
tries which contribute to the pros
perity of all of us,” he went on
jPf, as soon as it comes or even
appears to be on the way, we set
about devising laws and special
assessments to levy oa It, and, in
effect, confiscate it? M
“What is the n*e, in other
words, of starting a thing at
all if we are not willing to go the
whole distance? If we want more
people in Georgia—and God knows
we need them—then let’s make
the newcomers welcome. Let’s
permit them to have any religion
they choose, any special desires
or ways of life they may wish, so
long as they do not positively
outrage us. We invite them here.
When they come, let’s see to it
that they follow their own wishes.
Let’s make them at home and
give them every opportunity we
would wish—and demand—for
ourselves.
41 It is even possible that there
may be things we could learn
from these newcomers amongst
us—new ways of farming, new
ways of lifi, new thoughts.
“The same general idea applies
to our treatment of new capital.
That is clear to everyone. Geor
gia needs development. Develop
ment requires money. Money is
very much desired in all of the
states of the Union—in all the
world, for that matter—Geor
gia can only persuade money to
come here if Georgia is willing
to treat money rightly when it
does come.
<4 Let’s be hospitable—hospitable
to people, hospitable to money,
hospitable to new ideas.
“The guiding principle of life—
any life—any department of life—
can safely be taken from the
Golden Rule. Let us really do
unto others as we want them to
do unto us.
“I have been talking so far
mainly about new things—the new
settlers we want, the new dollars
we., want, the new ideas. Now
let’s consider what we shall do
about the things we already have.
44 Let’s be hospitable among our
selves. Let’s quit fighting and
wrangling over this and that.
Let’* be honest with ourselves
and see how much of our relations
with each other is based on envy
or jealousy or mere selfishness.
44 When we invite new money to
Georgia we have got to be prepar
ed to answer the question, ‘How
have you treated the money that
already has been invested in
Georgia?’ Today we can an
swer that question more satisfac
torily than ever before. Even so,
there is much in Georgia's atti
tude that must be changed be
fore we can expect our state to
attract- the investment that her
natural resources fully warrant.
44 I have really only one plea to
make to Georgia and that is a
plea for fair play, for good
sportsmanship. In our every re
lation if we will try to be fair,
to meet the other man half way,
we will achieve everything we
need.

E IRST an heroic figure in the

one through an unfortunate situ

come back to his own in Italy.
Of all the acts of the Mussolini
regime there has been none more
both at home and abroad
than the reparation made to Count
Cadorna for the obloquy heaped
upon him after

And, just to show the extent to
which Mussolini and his king have
