the monumental task imposed upon
the commission are elements conspic-
uously missing.
South Should be Properly Represented.
Because of the peculiar Industrial
and economic conditions which prevail
in the South, it should be properly rep
resented on this commission. We are
today trying in every way possible to
mold the future economic and indus
trial life Of the South on a plane
higher than that which has been evoly-
ed in the Northern and Middle West
ern states. This work demands the
most efficient public leadership, and
must be handled and studied from a
national as we'll as sectional point of
view.
1t naturally follows that the reports,
conclusions, and recommendations of
the Industrial Relations Commission
will have a certain bearing on the fu-
ture industrial and economic life of
the Southern states. The Southern
states, therefore should be represented
on this commission by at least one
man who has a grasp of national af-
fairs as well as an intimate interest
in all the problems of the South. The
South needs, is. entitled to, and should
demand, representative on this COM
mission who is fundamentally trained
in the principles underlying our indus
trial and economic systems-an econ
omist of national grasp.
Southern Commercial Congress Ignored
The Southern Commercial Congress
realized this as soon as the commits
sion was authorized and after careful
consideration recommended to the
President Southern man of unques-
toned ability-an industrial expert
and economist of international reputa-
ton; a man who is striving for a
greater nation through the renational-
ization of the South. This man is
without political aspirations, however,
and desires to be considered only on
his merits. This recommendation OF
the Southern Commercial Congress, as
we see, was entirely ignored by the
President.
Woodrow Wilson Should Make APP
pointments.
The situation can still be saved
however, if the Senate will refuse to
confirm the Presidents appointments
It is the duty of the Southern senators
at least to stand out against these
J appointments, and allow them to be
made by Woodrow Wilson-we may
feel certain that merit and proper quail
iflcations will then be given considera
ton.
