EARLY PLANS FOR COLONIZATION OF
GEORGIA WERE UTOPIAN
By GUS BERND, Historical Assistant,
Office of Secretary of State.
General James Edward Oglethorpe’s humanitar=
fan enterprise which led to permanent settlement
of the Colony of Georgia was not the first effort to
colonize the region. Spaniards, Frenchmen, and
Englishmen had visited the territory of present
Georgia before 1732, The Spanish had built mis
sions and presidios; and the ruing may still be seen
along the Georgia coast today. Premature plans for
settlement were made public in England before the
successful attempt by Oglethorpe. One of these
plans is especially worthy of historical attention.
A Scot¢hman namea Sir Robert Montgomery, in
1717, fifteen years before Oglethorpe’s venture, had
utopian plans for colonization upon a grant of land
between the Savannah and Altamaha Rivers. Mont
gomery issued a pamphlet on the subject, printed
in London, It was entitled “A Discourse Concern
i the Designed Establishment of a New Colony
+o the South of Carolina in the Most Delightful
Country of the Universe.” According to this trea
tise Georgia was to be a feature Garden of Eden
called the Margravate of Azilia, The settlements
were to commence on the south side of the Savan
nah. All of the plans were modeled upon things of
grandeur, It was to be a perfect thing when and if
~ompleted; The thing lacking was a practical ‘way
{o put th® idea into effect. In the realm of thought
It compared with the South Sea Bubble, a financial
scheme of unsavory {flavor, The Margravate ol
Azjlia was one of the great unrealized dreams of
the Eighteenth Century. -
Montgomery’s pamphlet was similar to many of
the modern propaganda publications of the present
day in favor of certain political ideas that will not
work. It extolled only the virtues of the plan with
out mentioning the obstacles that would be faced.
The bardships of the wilderness were, of course,
played down and the idea of the Paradise and Gar
den of Fden was emphasized. There was highest
praise of the Georgia countryside: its woodlands,
streanys, game, soil, climate, plants, agricultural
prospects, ete. The Lords Proprietors of Carolina
who made the grant to Montgomery were sched
uled to get a goodly share of the fruits and profits
of the anticipated mercantile and treasure-produc
ing activities. Sir Robert would bear the cost of
transporting families and supplies for settlement, It
was mutually agreed that if such settlements were
not effected within a threc-year period from the
date of the grant it should become void.
The settlements were to be extensive and thor
ough, The Planner would not be content “with
building here and there a fort, the fatal practice of
America,” and especially of unsuccessful Spanish
and Freuch colonization attempts. On the other
hand, Sir Robert Montgomery would place “the
inhabitants and divisions of the land that not only
out-houses, but whatever else we possess will be
enclosed by military lines, impregnable against the
savages, and which will make our whole planta
tion one continued fortress . ..” The author and
planner saw prospects of the Georgia country fur
nishing the best of raw products of almost every
kind for British and European markets. Such goods
as furs, rice, lumber, silk, cochineal, tea, figs, rais
ins, currents, almonds, olives, were all to be ex
pected from the North Temperate climatic region of
Georgia. Offers to prospective settlers were flat
tering; and guarantees of protection from the In
dians were made with abandon. Sir Robert was
scheduled to be Governor of this new Promised
Land.
Despite a fine propaganda send off, the efforts
to persuade immigration failed. So Montgomery’s
too idealistic plans for a Georgia soon died. About
seven-eighths of this territory was sold to the crown
for a few thousand pounds sterling. The territory
was later ceded to the Trustees of the successful
Georgia, The other eighth was deeded to them by
Lord Carteret, Baron of Hawnes, who had not
joined the other proprietors earlier in surrendering
their portions to the crown. Henceforth, those who
would found a Georgla dealt more in the realm of
the possible and painted no quickly-made promised
land with great palaces and royal gardens for the
asking. General Oglethorpe and his followers were
more successful principally because they had an
English prison crisis to aid them (though Georgia
was not settled by ex-prisoners to any appreciable
degree) and because the Oglethorpe group trimmed
their sails according to the lessons of experience
and the attainable. Through the trials and struggles
of the centuries Georgia was to be built upon more
and more practical lines, In 1950, Georgia appears
to the world as a paradox. Such is not surprising in
view of the diverse elements ¢f mankind and the
peculiar plans which went into the genesis of the
State. How contrasting among themselves are the
people and statesmen who have appeared on the
- stage ofGeorgia's long and colorful history!
MEDITATIONS
And I heard a voice from
Heaven saying unto me,
Write, Blessed are the dead
which die in the Lord, from
henceforth, yea, said the
Chemical Industry Symbol of
Expanding U. S. Economy
Rémember when we used to hear that the U. S.
economy was “mature” and that there weren’t any
more frontiers of growth?
That kind of talk seems pretty foolish now. The
general business level is far above where it was
in the shaky 1930’s when the gloomy prophecies
were made. More striking still, great new fron
tiers have opened up that are providing thousands
of jobs, hundreds of novel products, a higher stand
ard of living for nearly all.
A good<example is the electrical-electronic-atom
ic field, still almost in its infancy but growing
remarkably, Another, already broadly expanded
and continuing to swell in size, is the chemical
industry, ;
In its latest issue Fortune Magazine surveyed
the chemical field. What it found ought to deflate
the economic pessimists for a long time.
Back in 1937 the industry’s total sales were'
S7OO million. Today they’re well over $3 billion,‘
not including huge chemical operations associated
with other industries like oil. In the last de
cade the industry’s plant capacity has been doubled.
Only seven companies had annual sales of more
than $25 million in 1937. Now 19 chemical firms
surpass that mark, and the 1948 volume of one
company alone was almost equal to the whole in
dustry’s output in that earlier year.
Here's one for people who might have thought
industry was losing its inventive spirit: 40 per
cent of the sales by bigger chemical companies rep
resent products undeveloped 15 years ago. The
large concerns introduce 10 to 25 new products
every year, |
If you lump together basic chemical plants and
related processing industries, you find the combi
nation accounting for at least 20 per cent of the
entire national product. By this and other meas
ures, the chemical industry has become the premier
enterprise of the nation—surpassing the automo
bile industry.
With horizons in the chemical field still widen
ing, no expert wants to predict the end of this
amazing growth. It stands in conclusive answer to
those who felt that the closing of America’s geo
graphic frontier spelled doom dor its economy.
It’s thoroughly clear there’s been no closing down
of the technological frontier. And so long as there
is not, we don’t have to view the future with long
faces.
But the nation’s economy must be governed in
a way to keep that frontier steadily open. For the
latest unemployment figures show that new job
seekers are pouring into the labor market in sub
stantial numbers every day. Only a dynamic in
dustry and commerce can absorb them and prevent
real hardship,
Out of Bounds
The privilege of quoting Thomas Jefferson is one
we accord almost without question to all public
figures. Indeed, excerpts from Jefferson’s utter
ances are a standard item in the American politi
cian’s campaign kit. But we were rather dismayed
to learn that his words were recently bandied about
in the Kremlin by O. John Rogge, former Assistant
U. S. Attorney General and prominent member of
Henry Wallace’s Progressives. There’s some doubt
whether Rogge understands what kind of man Jes-
ferson really was, but the same might be said for
a lot of others who like to claim him as a sort of
patron saint
Yet calling up Jefferson before a Russian audi
ence is something else. To the Kremlin crowd he
could only appear as an advance man for “Ameri
can imperialism” of the present day. What appeal
can there be in “Jeffersonian Democracy” for those
who are enjoying the “People’s Democracy” in the
Soviet Union?
We think the Kremlin ought to be out of bounds
for Jefferson.
"
Put Him Up for Sale
How about arranging anpinternational trade with
Hungary and Russia? We could give up Valentine
Gubitchev, convicted Russian spy, in exchange for
Robert Vogeler, American businessman ‘“tried” and
convicted for espionage in Hungary.
Of course, the Hungarians wouldn’t get anything
out of the deal. But they’d be happy to do a favor
for their Russian friends. At least they'd have to
say they were happy.
The Russians would get back their Gubitchev—
and they can have him—and we’d get Vogeler, who
probably hasn’'t done anything more serious in
Hungary than ackpowledge that he's an American.
This little bit of barter wouldn’t do anything
toward closing Europe’s “dollar gap,” but we think
the arrangement recommends itself.
Some potential atomic developments are so
frightening that we instinctively shrink from them.
But then we must ask—will this dread knowledge
be less menacing if discovered by ethers? —Ber
nard Baruch, elder statesman.
We are sure that Soviet policy will never succeed
in forcing us, this free city, to our knees.—Mayor
Ernst Reuter of West Berlin.
We must be ready to meet any emergency by
maintaining what we can afford, what will avoid
disaster and what will win a war.—Generat Omar
Bradley, chairman of joint chiefs of staff.

Word of God: Christianity’s Power
By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D.
The rapid and remarkable
growth of early Christianity is
summed up in the brief, concen
trated statement in Acts 19:20,
“Mightily grew the word of the
Lord, and prevailed.”
There is the secret of the mo
tive power of early Christianity,
and for that matter of Christianity
ever since, wherever and when
ever it has displayed phenomenal
effectiveness and growth.
These early Christians were re
sponsive to the word of God. A
Psalmist, many years earlier, had
written, “Thy word have I hid in
mine heart, that T might not sin
against Thee.” For these detout
Christians, deeply responsive to
their Scriptures, the word of God
had become incax;pated in the word
of a living Christ, whom some of
them had known, with whom they
'had walked and talked, and with
whom they had sat on a mountain
slope, as He revealed the good
news of the Gospel and the mys
teries of the Kingdom of God. |
The word of the Lord was for
them a word of enlightenment. In
Paul’s conversion ‘“‘there fell from
his eyes as it had been scales,” and
a typical experience of those who
came in contact with Jesus, and
listened responsively to His words,
was, “We never saw it on this
fashion” (Mark 2:12). It was a
word of enlightenment.
The word of the Lord was for
them a worg of life—a word of
new life. ful described the ex
perience in crisp words of fact,
“If any man be in Christ, he is a
new creature; old things are passed
away; behold, all things are be=
come new” (II Corinthians 5:17).
And the effect of that expression
“in Christ,” was as much as to
say in whatever place one lived.
Christ was their environment,
their atmosphere, the place where
they lived.
i Needless to say, the word of the

All that present income taxpayers ask is that all business pay federal
income tax on business incomes in exactly the same way and on ¢he 4
same basis. Co-operatives and other big tax-exempt business corpora
tions DO NOT do this. They are able to escape payment of close to a
: billion dollars in federal income taxes every year. Since they are in
direct competition with private TAXPAYING business, this is the worst
kind of tax injustice. Paying income taxes on profits will not put Co-ops
or anyone else out of business any more than paying income taxes puts
presently-taxed firms out of business.
