The industrial picture remains The raw

wages paid to dig them or to pack them.
The processing is elsewhere. All our
transportation, utilities and much of our
land is owned by people in other sections
They have created national policy which
almost entirely disregarded the South and

South.
The South has been prodded into at

1t is shaking off its lethargy, cursing an
excess of sentiment, listening to the lee

workers. 1t is reading more books, listen

But, superficially, Sumner Welles, Under
secretary Of State and second in command
OF Americas foreign relations, would, on
first acquaintance, convince your average
man from Dubuque that his preconceived
picture of an American diplomat was per-
factly and precisely right.
His Accent Precise.
Mr.. Welles was born in New York City
OF aff1uent parents. Like President Roose-
welt, he finished Groton and Harvard,
Americas most correct schools His ac-

precise, with never a trace of your Amer

He lives the life of country gentleman on
a comfortable estate near WASHINGTON and,
through marriage into one Of Washington's
wealthiest families, is accounted very, very
rich.
At this point however. Mr. Welles parts
company with the popular picture of an
American diplomat-for he has an ardent
passion for hard, very systematic and very
efficient work.
man of quiet habits, he goes about
socially no more than his ONCE demands.
His most pleasant hours are spent around
the luxuriant gardens Of his Maryland
estate, riding horseback over the country
side or reading-principally history and
bograpny He is an omnivorous reader
and, like his intellectual hero, Chief Justice
Charles Evans Hughes, has the rare ability
to digest page Of printed matter with one
intense, comprehending glance.
Rise Has Been Rapid.
Mr.. Welles, now As, has had q rapid and
spectacular rise in the career diplomatic
service. Entering it in 1915, he was as
signed first as secretary of embassy in
Toxic. He remained there only a short
time, however, and then was shifted to
Buenos Aires a move that marked the
beginning of what was to be his specialized
Work-Latin American affairs.
So rapid was his advancement that with
in six years he became chief of the Latin
American division of the State Department.
He was then only 80 years of age and so
became, along with Laurance Duggan, the
present chief, one of the youngest officials
ever to hold that important post.
After only year there, however, he took
short cut to the highest rungs of the
diplomatic ladder by resigning from the
career service to accept an appointment
from President Harding to represent him,

New York, Aug. 4.CUP)-Small Montana, former flyweight cham pion of the Philippines, advanced a step today in his campaign for the world title vacated by Benny Lynch. Having disposed of Katsumi Mo- rioka, claimant of the Canadian title, his next opponent !n the New York athletic commissions elimina- ton sereis will be Little Dado, a fellow countryman.
 Montana decisively outpointed Norfolk in their Is round bout at Queensboro arena last night. A 5-1 favorite, he punched the Japanese groggy in the early rounds and sev- eral times it appeared that he would knock him out. He rocked Mori- oka on his heels with a hard smash to the jaw in the fifth but the little Jap held on.
 In the 10th Morioka traded blow for blow. The crowd cheered his gameness but 1t was his last stand and before the round ended Mon- tana was driving him from corner to-corner with listed attack.
 After this furry Morioka was helplessly spent and hardly struck a blow from then on. But though Montana hit him with everything in his kit he couldn't put him away Montana weighed Ill., Morioka l09 IA.
