The Leader, enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1915-1921, 1917-02-19
SOUTH WILL REACH OUT
FOR NEW INDUSTRIES

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. ia concerted
and general movement is under way
throughout the South which seems TO
indicate realization in this section
that now is the time for the South
to reach out for new factories, new
industries, new units of population.
Not only does the South offer in
comparable advantages to industry
but the owners of many large fac
tories in the north and east are he
coming dissatisfied with their local
labor conditions and it is believed
that they would welcome change.
With Rome, Ga, making a strong
bid Tor the armor plate plant, Column
bus after the nitrate plant and Allan
ia organizing an industrial bureau
that will go into every section OF
the country in search of industries, it
seems certain that Georgia will get
her share of the factories that move
into the South.
Another strong factor in favor of
the South, aside from its abundance
OF raw materials and agreeable eli
mate which materially lessons the cost
of liNpg, is the fact that Southern
rivers will deveop thousands of horse
power when harnessed to mydr-elec-
trio plants, thereby affording plenty
of cheap power for manufacturing
plants both large and small.

Horsepower, which Is q term adopt.
ca as unit in estimating force, is
strictly theoretical and is much great.

to perform. 1t IL the force required

ism has failed to cheaper. There has
been no rift, no GOODNESS, between
France and America from the days
of Lafayette to our own times.
Therefore this rich nation, aligned
with France against the Germanic
peril, should act boldly and strikingly
in throwing its strong right arm to
the assistance of its sister republic.
We should lend 81 900, ,ooo, 900 dollars
at very low interest, something like
2I-2 per cent, a rate which is far
removed from that prevailing in the
money markets of the world, and
would in itself be an impressive evil
dence of American friendship.
France doubtless would decline
what might be regarded in some quar-
ters as charity" but she will accept
loan which in its very form recog-
nizes the generosity of the French
bankers in the dark days of the
American Revolution, when the credit
of the revolutionists was at zero.
We cannot repay our debt to
France, but we can at least show our
gratitude. France aided America in
the hour of Its sorest need; America
should do the Same for her first and
truest friend. American hearts will
glow with pride that the opportunity
is at hand. 1t should be our first
contribution to the war, and it will
be big one. not only in the direct
stimulus it gives the gallant French,
but in the moral effect" 1t will have

peror, who Is still clutching tight in

The Patriotic Rally.

The patriotic rally to be held by
the citizens of Washington on Sat-
urday promises to be the most inspir-
ing gathering and procession ever
held in this city. Following meet
ing of the executive committee yes
terday afternoon plans were put in
to execution, whereby every organi-
zation and citizen of the District are
invited to participate.
The announcement that the paci-
fists would hold a peace meeting on
Monday added to the fervor with
which those of the committee tackled
the immense task of perfccting plans
OF the rally in the short space OF
time allotted. Because of the lack OF
time the committee issues an invita-
ton to every organization and cit
izen to participate, as it is impossible
to reach every one individually.
Each organization is requested to
send in an entry blank to the chair
man of the committee at the Cham
Der Of Commerce rooms before noon
on Friday In order that the marshal
may see to the allotment of POSI-
lions In line. A copy of the entry
blank appears In another part Of
The Herald.
1t is the earnest desire of those
who are managing the rally that the
attendance shall surpass that of every
other affair in the history of Wash
ington, and the committee requests
that every one|w who can aid in max
ing the affair an unqualified success

possible.

The German in Mexico.

Four weeks ago the American
government exposed a German plot
to embroil this nation in war with
Mexico and Japan.
The expose had salutary eff
feet. but apparently it did not
block the continuance of Teuton
Vaccinations in the land now dom
mated by an irascible and more or
less unbalanced old man. Venusti-
ano Carranza. The plotters. forced
into the open for a brief day. bur-
rowed their way underground
again, and kept to their work.
The results of their schemings
will soon be harvested. German
reservists are flocking to Mexico
by the thousands, and are certain
to foment trouble with the United
States. In fact. the groundwork
has already been prepared by Ger
man agents. who are both numer-
Gus and powerful. and friction be-
tween Carranza and the American
government may break out. per
design, shortly after a state of
war, between Germany and the
United States is declared by the
American Congress.
IF Wilhelmstrasse is sufficiently
crack-brained to believe seriously
that Mexico can harm the
United States, then we have an
other debit item for farcical Ger
man diplomacy; but if the real
Teuton purpose is to keep the
American regular army establish
ment on the Rio Grande and thus
forestall any plans of sending an
American expeditionary force to
France or Flanders in the event of
war, it is a matter demanding the
attention of the State Department
without delay.
The United States ought to be
able to rip out the last shreds of
German influence in Mexico. If it
cannot do so without show of
force, then the show of force
should be forthcoming. The reg
uIar army is on the border now.
and it is a highly efficient force.
Carranza ought to be shown the
penalty of playing ducks and
brakes" with the United States in
the crisis that confronts it. There
ought to be no dallying.
America demands a free hand
in the work before it and does not
want little Mexican canine to be
swapping and barking at its heels.
