our Century Of ImmaturitN.
'rhe nineteenth century was our
century OF comparative immhturity
IN which We gave to the world from
our seemingly bOundless resources OF
natural wealth, we had forctts, IRON

fertility Of ROLL. and We were content
TO sell To the world the uuinanulnc-
turnd proddcts of our natural riches.
Indeed, we could not have done clev'
for we did not possess tho labor or
capital for either No manufacture
or the merchandising or our prod
uc,s. So our cotton largely went
abroad To be manufactured lnto
fabric and our copper ingols went
IN All the world TO be converted INTO
electrical mcchnnisms. l mention
