Ss In response to- special request
from . baltimore paper. the COVER
nors of several Of the biggest SOUTH
sern states wrote special articles on
Industrial conditions in their state.
The following was contributed by
Governor Hatfield and is . clear and
spnese summing up Of conditions
~ West Virginia:
"A broader vision by West Virginia
leaders on Done social and Industrial
sDpssibilities that may be realized by
more Intelligent use Of our nat
staI resources is urged by the chief
executive as our most pressing need.
The following Is the article:
We have in West Virginia q, won
qerful natural endowment Of eco
snomic resources and unriyalled In
Sarstrial opportunity, and a fair start
has been made by energetic and en-
fterprising men in the development
OF these resources and opportuni-
ties. Our most pressing and imme-
Sdiate need is q broader vision BY
some Of our leaders Of the social and
industrial possibilities that may be
Esalized by Q more intelligent use Of
our natural resources.
~ To the men who first became aware
of the potential value Of our vast
stores Of oil, coal, gas, timber, the
initial problem that presented itself
was that Of getting these raw mater
ials to market in their crudest form.
The result Of that policy has been a
Tapid exploitation OF a considerable
part Of our economic heritage as a
commonwealth. continuance of
which process to the logical. end will
inevitably leave portions OF our state
in the condition Of a squeezed lemon.
Problem More Complex. ,.ts
The problem that confronts West
Wrginia's Industrial and political
leadership is more complexsthan that
of q mere exploitation Of our natural
resources. It involves the develop
n1ent Of a social and economic order
OF things that will build up the es-
sentials Of an enduring civilization,
and that process calls for the trans
formation Of our, .raw materials into
finished products to an extent vastly
greater than we. have ever yet at
tempted.
1T is not strange, perhaps, that the
attention Of our people thus Tar
should have been conferred on the
problems Of mere exploitation, for
West Virginia is one OF the younger
members In the family of states, al
though situated within the area OF
the original thirteen, that laid the
foundation Of our original greatness.
4 Moreover, the period during which
we have been socially conscious Of
our great resources and at work al
their development has been even
shorter than the period of our polit-
gical existence. II is chiefly within
the last two decades that the pro-
cesses OF industrial development and
commercial expansion within the
state have been gathering speed at a
progressive rateand our existing bus
mess structure has been vastly en-
large during those decades.
