BirminRham, Ala., Nov. 29.—Foun
dation of a permanent organization
_to exploit the products of the South
and to remove the “no man’s land"’
between industry and agricultui-e” wa.s !
laid today by the Southeastern conn- j
cil in its first annual se.ssion. j
With the words of speakers still'
fresh in their minds, Southern leaders
in finance, agriculture, industry and
kindred lines this afternoon grathered
in 14 group meetings to formulate
programs to be presented before the
council tomorrow.
Into the gix)up meetings the mem
bers of the council carried the warn-
ing from Howard E. Coffin of New
York, president of General Textiles,
that a sound and thorough organiza-
4^tion was needed to carry out the pur
poses of restoring the South’s trade
balance to an even keel.
“To effect sound and enduring pro
gress,” Coffin said, “we must build
here in the South a well rounded or
ganization which can carry forward
through sulwommittees, organized in
a practical and comprehensive way, a
wide variety of activities at one time.
“If w’e try to handle one subject at
a time, we will all he dead and buried ,
long before we effect any real pro-1
gres.s.” j
Coffin suggested that the organi- ;
zation should l>e composed of two i
branches, one technical and managed i
hjr experts' to con<luct experiments
ami rese^i'chi'^keeping “at work con-
—ftmtout ty with*n.4,hrt. ^eveial . mL
human" endea vo r.
A second <livision, he said, should
be devoted to education, through!
which public opinion would be mould- :
iPTTT'O'Tany out the programs of the*
council.
The Georgia committee of 100, or
the national defense committee of war
daya, were cited by Coffin as effec
tive organizations to bring about the
realization of the purposes of the
Southeastern council.
