'lhere lie has been watch ing world events but never for a ilo ment has he eeasd to think of the South and her future. At the Jefferson ' Hotel last night when asked what lie thought of the industrial future of the South, lie said: "The South has largely made poli ties Its business. The North and the west have made business their pol tics. We in the ISouth largely con centrate our throughts, our activities upon polities, local, state and national. 'We are interested in who Is going to -be the sheriff, or governor, or sena tor than we are in who is going to do some creative work in developing our vast resources. In the North and West, on the other hand business and creative and constructive -work are the supreme issues and .politics are con sidered mainly in their point of rela tion to business development. If, for the next flye years the South would give to highway improvement, to minlcipal hetterments, to construc tion of hotter housing facilities for its people and the utilization of its natural resources as muich attention as it now gives to petty politics, in in dustrial and(] agricultural advancement and its increase in wealth would be amazingly great. There is no other erqual area in the world that can match in natural advantages for the Qreation of wealth the Southern States. "rhis is- freely admitted by the ab lest experts in the world. At different times I have published the testihony ,of the foremost scientists in America, and the great leaders in chemistry and industrial work of all kinds that the natural advantages of this section are far beyond those of any other known area in the world. "It is trite that we have made con -siderable progress in the development of these resources but. we have not ac cjmuplished one-fourth as mich as w.; in our power to do.

"I seriously doubt whether there is any other country in the world which devotes so large a proportion of its thinking and 'talk to 'politics. Very much of the political activity in the Sot'th is a curse to the individual man and to the South itself. The man who can do the most to take the thought of the South off of the politics of the cross road store.kind and con cenrate the attention of the people upon the building and maintaining gotter schools, and churches, and bet ter highways, in patching up and painting every dilapidated house, will do the most for the material, educa tional and religious advancenlent of alI the people. "I am a firm believer in the enor mous expansion of business of the en tire country. I believe 'we shall soon en-ter upon the greatest period of greatest prosperity ever known in the country. I feel equally cer'lain that the co-called high prices of today twill continue for a good many years. The high prices of materials, of farm pro ducts, and of wages arc largely due to the tremendous world wide infla tion of currency and credit. So long as the inflation lasts, and it must con tinue for a good many years we must have a continuance of high cost of liv ing and high wages. '"len who are holding off from build ing operations in the hope of lower cost of construction work are operat ing upon a false basis. The safety of the nation for full employment of people makes it imperative that tile entire country should understand that high prices of today are almost wholly a result of inflation of currency and credit.
