THE NATION'S NO. 1
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY
THE Southern States Indus
trial Council, with headquar
ters at Nashville, Tennessee,
has issued an interesting com
mentary on the “Report on Ec
onomic conditions in the South”
That report, prepared by the
National Emergency Council,
dealt with the South’s needs
and difficulties rather than its
resources and advantages,
though several pages were given
to summarizing its great natur
al and human assets. Since the
purpose of the inquiry was to
discover, if possible, the causes
of economic unbalance in this
region, the liabilities were
brought to the front; and on
this score, there is no ground
for complaint. The fault, as
the Southern States Industrial
Council contends, lies in the
failure of the Report to give
an equitable or accurate ac
count of the liabilities them
selves. Some of the Report’s
statements, so the criticism
says, are “sweeping generali
ties” which would fit other
parts of the country; yet, the
impression is left that they ap
ply solely to the South. Objec
tion is also raised against the
omission of essential facts and
the frequent want of qualify
ing terms necessary to give t
rightly proportioned picture of
things as they are.
Byway of example, the
Council directs attention to the
statement, on page forty-om
of the Report, that: “The South
leads the nation in the employ
ment of children in both farm
and industrial work.” The fact
is, says the Council, that in the
New England and Middle At
lantic States, eight out of ev
ery thousand children were em
ployed in manufacturing in
dustries in 1930, while in the
South fewer than six out of ev
ery thousand were thus employ
ed. “Also, according to the
census figures for 1930, which
are the same as those quoted
in the Report, it is a fact that
of all the children employed
in the New England and Mid
dle Atlantic States, forty-one
and six-tenths per cent were
employed in the factories of
those sections, while only five
and four-tenths per cent of all
the children employed in th<
, South were confined within the
walls of factories. Conversely,
eighty-five and one-tenth per
cent of all the children employ
ed in the South were in agri
culture, employed for seasonal
periods of the year- while in
the Northern States designated
only ten and seven-tenths per
cent were thus engaged.”
Touching another point, the
Southern States Industrial
Council asks, “Why were not
the facts brought out which

Cease, my son, to hear in
struction, only to err from the
words of knowledge.—Prov.
were made available in receni
studies of Consumer. Purchase
by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, giving a
comparison of family income
by occupation in one hundred
and forty villages in the Unit
ed States?” From these studie:
it appears that the medium an
nual income of non-relief white
families is higher in the South
east than in many other sections
of the country. In fifteer
Georgia and South Carolina
villages the annual income is
found to be $1,309, in eighteen
North Carolina and Mississippi
villages it was $1,764, as com
pared with $1,447 for fourteen
Vermont and Massachusetts
villages, $1,075 for nineteen Il
linois and lowa villages, $1,167
for thirteen villages in Penn
sylvania and Ohio, and $1,201
for fourteen villages in Michi
gan and Wisconsin. Many
other alleged inconsistencies in
the Report are cited.
Would it not be too much,
however, to expect that a report
which was got up in three weeks
should do justice to so vast and
complex a subject as “The Ec
onomic conditions of the South”
or, for that matter, the econo
ic conditions of any other reg
ion of America? The utmos
that so hurried and brief a sur
vey could do would be to pre
sent certain facts which would
challenge general interest, pro
■oke further inquiry and serve
to mobilize constructive en
deavors. If the Report by the
National Emergency Council
does this, it will have been well
worth while in spite of inade
quacies and defects. Certainly,
its reference to the injustice
and handicap suffered by the
South in the matter of inter
territorial freight rates has al
ready aroused far-reaching dis
cussion.
After all, free and intelligent
discussion is the prime step to
ward the solution of problems.
Thus the Southern States In
dustrial Council has done well
to offer its own commentary
on the Report. Other groups,
epresenting Southern industry,
agriculture, commerce, educa
tion and government should fol
low. It is by this method that
Georgia’s Fact Finding Move
ment has brought out so help
fully both the opportunities and
the needs of our commonwealth
Che more thoroughly, and fair
ly, the South is stuped, the
more fully will her opportuni
ties, along with her needs, be
discovered; and the more clear
ly will she be revealed, in the
happy phrase of the Industrial
Council, as “the number one ec
onomic hope of the nation.”
