manufactures are concentrated in six
counties, which enjoy already the ad-
vantages Of establishment. OF favorable
freight rates and Of a trained working

South has been treated as a Colonial
agricultural area by these Northern

This area has been the victim of for
eign tariffs for the past so years. 1t is
now faced with the situation that its
greatest agricultural product, cotton,
is undergoing sharp contractions as
result partly Of our tariff policy in the
past, partly because of foreign cotton
growing and the competition of syn
thetlcs. If now it attempts to turn to
industry, it may find that the only
natural advantages 1t has-a lower
cost of living and therefore a lower
wage standard, which does not neces-

Ine PRESIDENT is
considering the appointment of either
MIR. Bratton-noW Judge Bratton-or
Joseph c. Hutcheson, jr., of Houston,
Texas. In 1893, President Roosevelt
named Mr.. Bratton judge of the Tenth
United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peals, in New Mexico. 1t is the judicial
circuit of the retiring Supreme Court
Justice Van Devanter.
Judge Bratton was ahead of the New
Deal in aiming at New Deal detectives.
He voted for the Costigan-La Toilette
relief bill, the Democratic tariff bill
and, after the inaugural ton Of Franklin
D. Roosevelt, he was for the suspen-
sion of the gold clause, a bold plunge
into Federal relief, the 30-hour week
and the abolition Of tax exemption on
Government bonds He opposed sales
taxes. His attitude has been LIBERAL
but only mildly messianic.
Born and reared in Texas, he taught
a country school, did all sorts of odd
lobbing and read law nights He was 4
lawyer in Clovis, N Mex, at 81; an as
sociate fudge of the State District
Court at 30, member of the State
Supreme Court at "a and Senator at
36. Only the President knows whether
he will be a Supreme Court justice
at 49
The possible appointment Of Judge
Hutcheson has been discussed in its
bearing on the new ascendancy of the
Texas dynasty under the rule of the
politically reSurgent Vice President
Garner. Judge Hutcheson, 81 years
old, is former mayor of Houston and
! judge of the Southern United States
District of Texas since 1918. His lib
eral slant has been toward humanism
rather than legalistic change. He has
been a vigorous advocate of enhgn.-
ened and humane penology.
