KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Feb. "a
Heads of the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority see for the future a Utopian
dream come t--e in the old south.
The money is being spent. The
work is being done. Results already
are apparent. Dr. Arthur E. Nor
gan and his associates believe their
efforts will turn the Tennessee val
ley into 10000 square miles Of pas
toral, prosperous land.
They foresee the population Of
100000 dividing its time happily
between scientific farm and decen-
tralized industry.
Comfortable homes, fertile lands,
navigable rivers, abundant electric
power and control of foods they ex-
pect in the immediate future. These
developments, they believe. will re-
suit in a new culture for the south.
Life VIII Be Placid
Life will be unhurried. There will
be no economic strife in the happy
land foreseen by iva. Craftsmen
will have time to fashion their
products well. Smoky cities and
sweat shops will become memories,
If the hopes of the IVA become &C
Qualities, and the rObot-like piece
worker will be no more.
"Haphazard, unregulated growth
is disastrous" DR.. Morgan explained.
The mountain regions Of the south
are the last great bulWarks of in
dividuality in America. Mass pro-
duction both on farms and in fac
tories has become characteristic of
our American life. We have become
used to living in crowds.
But the southern highlander is
a different breed. He likes rural
life. His income has been and is
very small. Agriculture alone will
not support him. Today great in
dustries are settling in his midst
Some of these factories tend to de-
stroy his type Of civilization. The
southern highlander is often re-
garded merely as cheap labor to be
exploited, rather than as the repre-
sentative of a valuable type of cul-
ture to be encouraged and protected
Sponsors Forecast Success
'Is it not possible that a very de-
sirable way of life may become
characteristic of this region? Would
it not be possible for the southern
highlander to preserve his present
versatility and distinctiveness in
personal and social life, and to de
velOp small industries. which. like
those in France, are based on in
telligence, individual taste and
skill?"
The answer to all those questions,
according to DR.. Morgan, according
to President Roosevelt. and accord
ing to congress, is Yes"
Congress appropriated the $50
100000 which made IVA possible
President Roosevelt fostered the
plan and holds it dear Dr. Nor
gan and his associates here in the
new Sprankle building are working
harder than ever to make the pro-
gram succeed.
If it succeeds, their faith will be
indicated, and if it fails, according
to one of Knoxville's leaders, that
failure at least will be magnificent

But the pain of a pinched-in
national economy will, with our
expansive capacity to produce,
and our expansive desires to do
so, prove so intense that we GER
tainly ought not to abandon
thought of a planned interna-
tional drive for trade at this time,
when we have really given the
question no thought at all.
Given propelling common i'm
pulse to go the international way;
given a Steadfast national resclu-
ton to rebuild our agriculture and
commerce on spacious rather than
cramped, denying lines, America
could exert a vast world lnf1u-
ence toward larger, more rational
and more decent trade designs.
TINE contention that it is use
i less now to press against the
world tide and try for interna-
tional trade is strengthened in
some measure by the contention
that machinery levels off region
al potentialities; that the products
of one civilized country soon be-
comes very much like those Of an
other country; and that to trade
like products is simply a waste
of money and time.
The drift toward economic ma
tionalsm is therefore bound to
accelerate. according to this argu-
ment. as the years go by.
Undoubtedly there is something
to this argument. Initiative fac
tories producing similar products
can spring up in almost any soil
and climate. That clustering OF
specialized skill which makes De-
troit. for instance, a motor center
may be bodily removed. in a man

The increasing success of the
Russians. never distinctly a ma
chine-minded people. in turning
out tractors and other modern
equipment somewhat like our own,
may also be cited as a case in
point.
But I think it is obvious that
in a sane world. without bar
riers of hatred and suspicion, the
Russians would have chosen to
develop products more in line
with their own national genius,
and trade such products for our
machines. rather than to turn out
toi'some limitations on their own
soil.
DIFFERENTIATION may tend
1f1 TO make the Manufactured
products of all countries more
nearly alike; but the tendency
can not be considered apart from
the question of raw materials;

highest potential production in
agriculture and mining are little

There is a best place, and a
second and third-best place in the
world to mine coal or grow cotton,
just as there are favored and less
favored cotton and coal regions
within the United States. We
cramp the finest possibilities of a
civilization when, blinded by local
pride, either regional or national,
We blink at plain facts.
The same thing holds true of
innate or inherited capacities.
England makes better cloth than
we Go, and better handmade
shoes. France, 1 am told, makes
better wine. Unquestionably, how
ever. we raise apples more cheaply
than France.
Accordingly, one of our first ap-
proaches toward dealing with the
world again, on a new basis, is as
simple and sensible as a swap
between two pioneer farm neigh
bors. We traded France some of
our apples for some of its wine.
international trade is not nee
eSsarily complicated. If we allow
ourselves again to approach world
trading as if it were a sacred and
impenetrable mystery, then We
are likely again to get into an
ether jam. The considerations
which make international bust
ness desirable are plain.
d ECENTLY I heard for the
IN first time a saying popular
in Arkansas. 1t was that Ar
kansas could build a wall a mile
high around its borders and go
right on living and doing bust
ness. That may be true, but I
doubt if even the noisieSt orator
in Arkansas would claim that the
people there could live as well
or as spaciously as they do even
now, exchanging goods and serv-
ices with the people of other
states.
1t is equally obvious that we
take only meager advantage of
this opportunity to exchange spe-
cial products or special capacities

Bond Issue Withdrawn

The government, it was learned,
demanded amendments to the reg
istration of the 100000 bond
issue and the Laclede company in
stead of making the amendments,
asked to withdraw its registration
statement. which automatically
took the bond issue off the market.
Utility experts at that time
pointed out that this action by the
Laclede company forestalled any
public hearing on the matter which
might involve bringing the records
Of the company before the federal
trade commission.
Financial notes we're published
at that time, stating that the La
clede company might go abroad,
where no securities act exists, to
have the issue UNDERWATER.
Utility experts consulted today
wondered whether the Laclede
company had been unable to fl
nance it's issue abroad and resorted
to the effort to extend maturity of
its bonds as an alternative.
