Attitude of the South.
When asked for an expression con-
cerning the attitude Of the South on the
Panama Canal situation, Mr.. Small
said:
The Atlanta Constitution wants the
canal, as all the South does. and It ap-
proves every step the Administration
has taken to bring about the construc-
tion of the canal. Senator Morgan,
Senator Daniel, and othere leaders who
are finding fault with the mettods Of
President Roosevelt have failed to con-
vince US he has done anything which is
not right We give the President our
hearty support.
The position OF Southern men who
are finding fault with the way the ca
nal question has been handled Is ridicu-
lous They favor the canal. but criticise
the men who are making IL possible to
have a canal. The Atlanta Constitu-
ton has taken care not TO make itself
appear ridiculous by any such policy.
