RECOMMENDS REMEDIAL
ACTION FOR SOUTH'S ILLS
,
On the hecels of the national
emergency council’s report to Pre
sident Roosevelt on conditions in
tho South, Dr. Edgar A. Holt, dean
of th., college at the University
of Omaha, today recommended re
mendial action for Southern ills.
Head of tho University’s depart,
ment of history and government,
Di*. Holt is himself a native of the
South, born in Tazewell, Tenn. He
is well versed in the problems of
his home region which President
Roosevelt has called "the nation’s
No. 1. economic problem.’’
The historian belives that indue
trial boom must be the main spring
to Southern rebirth but that gov
ernment help is neeessary to make
that area alluring to industry.
‘‘Government help to industry is
entirely consistent with American
tradition. Private initiative in
every important phase of its
growth has depended on govern
men for aid, either in the form of
tariff or of some other subsidies.
“Loans, scientific information
and readjustment of freight, differ
entials are channels through which
government encouragement might
com j.
Dr Holt agrees with the emer
gency council that present freight
rata differentials are a drag on
Southern economic activity, pro.
venting adequate exploitation of
the abundant natural resources and
proper development of potential
aarketc. “In many instances,” he
says, “the railroads are going back
ward instead of forward. Indeed,
in some sections feeder lines are
no longer serving.”
j The program of rehabilitation
! should he carried forward through
Southern leadership, advises the
Dean. “The South has the men who
are capable and who understand
the people’s psychology.”
Dean Holt cautions local govern
ments in the South not to ‘ encour.
ago industry by promising to keep
labor down. This has happned too
many times in the past. The re
sult has been depression of living
standards and the lack of purchas
ing power which has stymied in
dustrial growth.”
The Omaha professor charges
that industrial producers have pro
motcd antagonism between white
and black workers for their own
advantage. Whites and blacks
must realizes, he states, that their
objective is the same, improve
ment of living conditions.
Further government aid sug
gested by the Southerner include
a campaign to stamp out the ail
ments “which are sapping the
energy of the people: hookworm/
malaria, pellegra, and veneral dis-(
eases”; and a program of aid to
education to equalize educational
opportunities.
“But most of these latter pro.
blems will ho largely solved ns
industry progresses and raises the
living standards. Race animosity
will decline, disease will dwindle,
and education will improve.”

Life Insur; ace company, in a let*^r
to the field force of his company
last week, said: '“Recently, while

This is an innovation in the raiL

placed in the hands of the dining

S. C. GOVERNOR restricts
PRIMARY TO WHITES
Columbia, SC., Aug. 25 (ANP)
In a statement issued last Tues
day by Governor Olin Johnston,
voters in the August Democratic
primary will be restricted to
whites. The governor cited a law
passed at the last session of the
legislature which authorized a po
litical party to limit the qualific
ations for membership in that
party.
He added that the Democratic
party had amended the rulc-s so
that only white Democrats could
vote, thus eliminating e ntirely the
Negro vote in the primary. Ex
plaining the lily.white “amend
ment" of South Carolina Demo
crats Gov. Johnson said,
‘‘Inasmuch as these changes in
our rules have definitely eliminat
ed even the possibilty of Negroes
voting in the primary elections of
South Carolina, any further men
ton of the Negro qui’ston by any
candidate only serves to show that
ho is endeavoring to evade the
real issues of the campaign and
appeal to the ignorance, the pre
judices and the emotions rather
than to the intelligence of the
people of South Carolina.
