Governors Dedicate |
1940 to Balanced |

Eleven Executives Issue i
Identical Proclamations ij
Outlining Program
By the Associated Press. ^
ATLANTA, Jan. 1—Catching up ||
the challenge of a dawning decade, ^
eleven Southern governors today ||
dedicated the 1940s to a campaign ^
for balanced prosperity in the South. ||
Already well out of the one-crop ||
era, these State rulers are deter
mined upon striking a balance that ||
will equalize crops with livestock,
farms with factories, and economic ||
gains with progress in human wel- ||
fare. H
Each executive has issued an iden- ^
tical proclamation laying 10 founda- ^
tion sills on which to build a decade ||
of progress. Enthusiastically, they ss
planned for a 1950 worm s iair oi
the South to celebrate achievement ||
of the goal H
This is the second major cam- ||
paign of the Southern Governors
Conference, already partially sue- ||
cessful in its fight for parity freight ||
rates. The campaigners are Govs.

Program of Balance. H
Citing “the great traditions of ||
our States, the abundant human ^
and natural resources of our region, ^
the deep needs of our people, and ||
the high opportunities of our times, ’ ||
the governors projected a plan to ^
balance; H
1. Money Crops, including forestry, j
with food, feed and fertility crops. ; ||
2. All crops with livestock, con- ||
sistent with sound land use. ^
3 Production progress with mar- ||
keting and transportation oppor- ,
tunitv free of trade barriers. ! ||
4. Farms with factories. H
5. Land, water and mineral re- ||
sources with population needs.
6. Work with thrift and local in- ||
vestments. ||
7. Owner prosperity with worker ||
prosperity. ||
8. Increasing income with in- ^
creasing home ownership. s|
9. Wealth with beauty and culture. ||
10. Economic gains with advances ^
in moral values and human welfare. ||
These broad objectives will be ||
delved into in detail and expanded ||
when the Governors' Conference ||
convenes in Nashville, Tenn., Janu- ^
ary 25 for a conference on interstate ||
problems. ||
The prosperity balance program is ||
no cut and dried scheme, the Gov- ^
ernors emphasized, but one Southern ||
citizens are urged to join with sug- ||
gestions and active support.
System of Score Cards.
Agricultural agencies will be asked ^
to promote balanced farm prosperity ||
and to provide at intervals surveys ^
showing progress and to double ^
check advances with a system of ||
score cards.
Business men and chambers of ||
commerce will be urged to provide
markets and sound financing for di
versified farming and to balance ||
farms with new industrial and com
mercial opportunities for the South- ||
am people. 1
A constant aim will be to increase ^
the income of Southern workers,
rural ana uroan, Dy more wisely
directed effort, more effective edu
cation, increased skills, greater
thrift and a square deal in all mat- ^
ters.” I
The conference asserted that its ®
program would reach into the small
communities where citizens “so often •
feel that Government knows and ^
cares little about them.”
A sort of credo was expressed, ||
that “no man big enough for Gov- ^
ernment to tax is too little for Gov- !
ernment to encourage.”
Each State in the conference will
have committeemen as key figures \ ^
in co-ordinating campaign efforts. ^
All these had not been named today, ^
but the following were announced: ||
North Carolina. President Frank
P. Graham of the University of ^
North Carolina; South Carolina, ||
D. W. Watkins, extension service ^
director at Clemson College; for
Alabama, John Temple Graves, ||
2nd, representing Southern dailies j ^
at Birmingham, and Tennessee,
Chairman H. A. Morgan of the
T. V. A. and Agriculture Commis
aioner C. C. Flanery. j ||
In behalf of citizens’ organizations ||
and public agencies, the program
was signed by Editor Clarence Poe
of the Progressive Farmer, Raleigh, §5
N. C.: Chairman Walter R. McDon- ^
aid of the Georgia Public Service ||
Commission and Dean Paul Chap
man of the University of Georgia’s
College of Agriculture.
Mr. McDonald emphasized that
the program would create no new ^
agencies but would call upon united
efforts of existing agencies. State, §|
public and private, to achieve the js|
Southern prosperity balance. ||
