PUT ASIDE POLITICS

South May Make Her Own Great Fu

Columbia, .'lay 8.--High prices for
products and high wages for labor are
to continue for a long time is the oin
Ion of RI. II. Ednonds, editor of the
Manufacturers Record ptnd one of the
leading authorities In Industrial mat
ters in this country. He thinks that
the man who -wants to build a house
and Is putting It off for lower prices Is
maklig a serious mistake and Is wait.

Is petty politics, and -that the petty
politician should be thrown into the
dump heal), and the people given their
thoughts to industrial, educational and
religious development.
lie arrived in the city yesterday
from his winter home at Daytona,
Florida, where he has been since last
December. '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. If we fall in
'the fitire to develop our wealti more
rapidly than other sect ions we will he

"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.

The belief Is expressed hlere that thle
basis for the agitation is fear of the
