Urges State-Built
Plants In Georgia
UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR IS OF
OPINION THIS WOULD KEEP
WEALTH I NSTATE AND BUILD
UP RESOURCES
Macon, Ga.—Dr. Walter Coutu,
professor of sociology at the Univer
sity of Georgia, said the problem of
setting up home owned industries
and keeping wealth within the state
might be solved by state construc
tion of industrial plants which would
be leased or sold to private interests.
Addressing the Macon forum at
the Washington Memorial Library
here Thursday night, he said: “The
way to get people interested in the
welfare of their own region is to
give them a financial stake in it.
This can be done by giving thou
sands of small investors a chance to
invest in southern industries—say
in denominations of ten, fifty or one
hundred dollars.
“The state might well build indus
trial plants and then lease or sell
them to pi’ivate interests on condi
tion that small investors be encour
aged to invest. This will give us
home-owned industries, keep our
wealth and our talent at home.”
