SHOALS WORK VISUALIZED AS TRUE UTOPIA ‘Dream Come True,’ Verdict of Sponsors of Great Development. This t the ixth and final diapatrh in a upon the lillft procram. It derrih* the I topian hope* of thoir in rhargr RV FREDERICK C. OTHMAN I nMed Prr* Mass f'orre^pondrnt ♦ Copvright. 1934. bv United Press) KNOXVILLE. Tcnn . - Heads of the Tennessee Valiev Authority see for the future a Utopian dream come true in the old south. The money is being spent. The work is being done. Results already are apparent. Dr. Arthur E. Morgan and his associates believe their efforts will turn the Tennessee valley into 40 000 square miles of pastoral. prosperous land They foresee the population of 2.000.000 dividing its tuw happily between scientific farm and decentralized industry. Comfortable homes, fertile lands, navigable rivers, abundant electric power and control of floods they expect in the immediate future. These developments, they believe, will result in anew culture for the south. Life Will Be Placid Life will be unhurried. There will be no economic strife in the happy land foreseen by TV A. Craftsmen will have time to fashion their products well. Smoky cities and sweat shops will become memories, if the hopes of the TV A become actualities. 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 individuality in America. Mass production both on farms and in factories 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 industries arc settling in his midst. Some of these factories tend to destroy his type of civilization. The southern highlander is often regarded merely as cheap labor to be exploited, rather than as the representative of a valuable type of culture to be encouraged and protected. Sponsors Forecast Success “Is it not. possible that a very desirable 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 develop small industries, which, like those in France, are based on intelligence, individual taste and skill?” The answer to all those questions, according to Dr. Morgan, according to President Roosevelt, and according to congress, is "Yes.” Congress appropriated the $50.000.000 which made TV A possible. President Roosevelt fostered the plan and holds it dear. Dr. Morgan and his associates here in the new Sprankle building are working harder than ever to make the program succeed If it succeeds, their faith will be vindicated, and if it fails, according to one of Knoxville’s leaders, that failure at least will be magnificent. NEW PASTOR WILL BE INSTALLED TOMORROW The Rev. I. T. Rogers to Take Clermont Christian Pulpit. Members of the Clermont Christian church will install the Rev. I. T. Rogers as their new pastor at services at 7:30 tomorrow night. Mr. Rogers succeeds the Rev. J. I. Shockley, who resigned Jan. 1 to become pastor of the Bethany Christian church.

Charles Dickens Called Greatest of Englishmen Sir Henry Suggests “Life of Our Lord” May Reveal Too Much of Author’s Character.
BY A. EDWARD NEWTON, M. S. (Authority on Dickens Lore) MANY years ago now—time passes so quickly when one is old—l was the guest of honor at a dinner at the Garrick Club in London. On my left was my host, E. V. Lucas; on my right. Sir Squire Bancroft. There were ten or twelve men. including Augustine Birrell, who died last November, and Sir Walter Raleigh, the Oxford scholar.
During a paus ein the conversation. Sir Squire said to me, quite casually. "It was in this room more years ago than I care to remember that I first met Charles Dickens." That started something, and presently I remarked to Sir Walter that in my opinion Charles Dickens was. next to Shakespeare, the greatest of Englishmen and that if Landor was right and "Shakespear is not our poet, but the world's, Therefore on him no speech!” then Dickens was the greatest Englishman that ever lived; that he had been a great reformer and made his reforms effective; that as a humorist he had one rival only, Vervantes; that he had given greater pleasure to a greater number of people—and so on. I expected that my observations would be challenged by someone, but to my surprise every one agreed. Sir Waited, of whom I was a little afraid, took up my text and enlarged upon it. tt a SOMETHING less than a year ago—l could fix the date exactly by looking at an inscription in a facsimile of the first edition of "Pickwick” 1 had just purchased —Sir Henry and Lady Dickens were showing me the manuscript of the "Life of Our Lord” and asking what I thought of the propriety of publishing it. We had had tea. in the cosy parlor of the little house in Chelsea in which they lived and had ascended to the third story front room, in which was one of those enormous billiard tables that the English delight in. and which, except for the table, might be taken for a Dickens museum. Os the old world courtesy of Sir Henry and of the gracious charm of his lady eqough has been said, nor is this the place to refer to the mementoes of the great novelist; the manuscript of the "Life of Our Lord” was under discussion. • My father did not wish it published; perhaps it revealed too much of himself,” said Sir Henry, “and I certainly shall not publish it during my lifetime, but at my death—l don't know. My father took great pains with it; listen to this—” and in his beautiful modulated voice he read here and there a paragraph. I told him I thought he owed
A erica Must Choose U. S. Could Exert Vast World Trade Influence America Ought Not Abandon Thought of Planned International Campaign at This Time.
This is the sixth of a series of articles written for the Forei*!- Policy Association and the World Peace Foundation. BY HENRY A. WALLACE Secretary of AsrieuHurr CAN WE REVERSE WORLD TRENDS? NOT only the price, but the practicality of going "national,” should enter into the public’s decision on this question. On the side of nationalism a number ot practical considerations may be arrayed. If great hordes of people, the world over, are pouring in a given direction down a given trail, it is easier to go along in the same direction than to travel uphill against the crowd. If you do try to move against the crowd, it, is conceivable that you will be pushed back two steps at times for every step taken forward. It is even conceivable that striving in an international direction you may be forced to nationalism in the end. The present world surge runs so strongly toward nationalism that it is a serious question how far we can make headway against it. 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 certainly ought not to abandon thought of a planned international drive for trade at this time, when we have really given the question no thought at all. Given a propelling common impulse to go the international way; given a steadfast national resolution to rebuild our agriculture and commerce on spacious rather than cramped, denying lines, America could exert a vast world influence toward larger, more rational and more decent trade designs. a a a THE contention that it is useless now to press against the world tide and try for international trade is strengthened in some measure by the contention that machinery levels off regional potentialities; that the products of one civilized country soon becomes very much like those of another country; and that to trade like products is simply a waste of money and time. The drift toward economic nationalsm is therefore bound to accelerate, according to this argument, as the years go by. Undoubtedly there is something to this argument. Imitative factories producing similar products can spring up in almost any soil and climate. That clustering of specialized skill which makes Detroit. for instance, a motor center may be bodily removed, i na manner of speaking, to China, through importations of machine tools and a afew factory technicians. 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 barriers 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 toilsome imitations on their own soil. a a a Mechanization may tend to make the manfactured products of all countries more nearly alike; but the tendency can not be considered apart from the question of raw materials; and the natural zones of the highest potential production in agriculture and mining are little subject to mechanistic change.
it to the world to publish it. saying that whatever his father's seeming injunctions might be he would never have taken such pains with a manuscript unless he believed that some day it would be published. "I think so,” said Sir Henry, his voice breaking with emotion, “listen to this last paragraph. Could anything be more beautiful? After I am gone the family shall decide. It will do good, the world will be the better for its publication, that's certain.” With this I agreed. tt tt n' fT'OR over sixty years this manuscript has lam in the drawer of a desk in a private house at the hazard of fire or of theft, each year increasing its value. I took it in my hands and reverently turned its leaves. Dickens writing is perhaps better known to collectors than that of any other man. “It is signed all over,” as the experts say. Do the rights of publication, for which $210,000 has been paid, include the permanent possession of the manuscript itself? Will its final resting place be the British Museum—it should be—or will it come to some library in America? The British nation with the help of Parliament, has just paid half a million dollars for the Codex Sinaiticus, an early Greek manuscript of the Bible. I happened to be in the British Museum when this great parchment was being photographed prior to being placed upon exhibition. I saw the long line of people waiting for a glimpse of it. I can imagine the throng which will await the display* of the Dicken’s manuscript. And the privilege of reading the “Life of Our Lord” by Charles Dickens will give more pleasure and bring greater profit to the common people, who, like Lincoln, Dickens loved, than the reading of the Codex will to scholars. The ‘‘Life of Our Lord” is a manuscript of 14,000 words and the price paid for it sls a word. Whoever heard of such a thing? What writing other than that of Charles Dickens would fetch such a sum? What would Sir Henery Dickens say? For I have an idea of what he thought—he hoped—the manuscript would bring. It was not half this figure.
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 do. and better hand-made shoes. France, I am told, makes better wine. Unquestionably, however. we raise apples more cheaply than France. Acordingly. one of our first approaches toward dealing with the world again, on anew basis, is as simple and sensible as a swap between two pioneer farm neighbors. We traded Fiance some of our apples for some of its wine. International trade is not necessarily 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 another jam. The considerations which make international business desirable are plain. tt tt it RECENTLY I heard for the first time a saying popular in Arkansas. It was that Arkansas could build a wall a mile high around its borders and go right on living and doing business. That may be true, but I doubt if even the noisiest orator in''Arkansas would claim that the people there could live as well os as spaciously as they do even new, exchanging goods and services with the people of other states. It is equally obvious that we take only meager advantage of this opportunity to exchange special products or special capacities

M’NUTT'S BLUE BOOK SMALLEST YET PUBLISHED Makes Amends for Weighty Volume on Acts of Legislature. Governor Paul V. McNutt's administration published the largest copy of Acts of the Legislature for 1933 ever issued in the history of the state. Today the administration made up for that fat tome by issuing the smallest year book Since 1918 this annual, known as the Blue Book, telling of the conduct of the departments, has been growing more voluminous. When the Republicans were retired their "swan song” was encased in a volume containing 1,545 pages and weighing 4 T S pounds. Under Governor McNutt the publishing of the book was taken from the legislative reference bureau and placed in the hands of William P. Cosgrove, chief examinear of the state board of accounts. The result, is that the volume coming from the press today contains an 846-page accourx. of the first year of Democratic activities. It weighs 2 7 8 pounds. As in 1932, 4,000 copies were ordered by the state for free distribution. The present administration reduced the cost by 45.1 per cent. The 1932 total cost was $6,171.65, or $1.54 per volume, while the 1933 book, out today, cost $3,390.20, or 85 cents a volume. It covers but nine months, however, the fiscal year having been changed by the 1933 legislature. The volumes never have been popular and have earned the title “The Book Nobody Wants.” SCHEDULE EXHIBITS AT ART INSTITUTE Paintings and Etchings to Be Shown Next Week. Exhibitions of paintings and etchings by Frank Duveneck, paintings by Donald Mattison. and prints by Evelynne Mess will be shown at the John Herron Art Institute next week.

SURVEYOR TO SEEK NOMINATION IN MAY Herbert H. Bloemker Will Run as Democrat. Herbert H. Bloemker. chief deputy Marion county surveyor under Bruce Short since 1930, has announced he will seek the surveyor nomination in the Democratic primary in May. Mr. Bloemker. 33. who was graduated from local public schools ana Purdue university civil engineering college, was senior field aid for the city engineer for some time and engaged in private engineering in California before receiving the appointment three years ago. Since the first of this year, Mr. Bloemker has served as county highway supervisor and has been in charge of county engineering on CWA projects. He is married and resides with his family at 1440 Central avenue. if we coop up the process within national boundaries. I say. then, that in respect to raw materials and handicraft products, world exchangeability is as desirable now as it ever was; and ingenuity. Where it seems to do so, I think the result is impermanent. Chinese, to whom we send machine tools, may turn out a good Ford car, but the next improvement in the car and in the machinery which makes it. would be likely to occur on this side of the water. On the contrary, we could train American workmen for years on end and equip them with the best Chinese devices, yet the best Chinese embroidery would still come from China. Granting then certain tendency of modern equipment to standardize and level the product, there remains for the long pull a great variety of inherent national advantages which, in a sane and neighborly world, would allow plenty of room for trade. Next—Pains and Privileges of trade.

U. S. ECONOMY FACES CRISIS IN SENATE ACTION Showdown Comes Next Week in Effort to Restore War Benefits. BY WALKER STONE Time* Staff Writer WASHINGTON. Feb. 24. A showdown in the senate on government economy is scheduled for next week when veterans’ benefits come up for final action. Adjourning over the week-end at the suggestion of Democratic leaders who want time to count noses, | the senate has agreed to restrict debate after 4 p. m. Monday and remain in session until a vote has been taken on all pending amendments relating to restoration of war veterans’ benefits eliminated by the economy act last March. Senate majority leaders also are bringing pressure to bear upon insurgent Democrats who voted lor the McCarran amendment restoring the 15 per cent pay cut to federal employes. The leaders are trying to find one bolter who will move to reconsider the. amendment, which carried by a vote of 41 to 40, Roosevelt to Map Flan There will be a number of conferences with legislative leaders at the White House this week-end. at which the President is expected to map out a definite program and round up the votes to jam it through. That the senate is not ready yet to eliminate all of the savings effected by the economy act was indicated Thursday when it voted, 62 to 14 against an amendment to I the independent offices appropriations bill offered by Senator Henry D. Hatfield (Rep., W. VaJ, which would have retstored veterans’ benefits to the pre-economy law status, adding $220,000,000 to the annual budget. The McCarran salary restoration amendment would add $189,000,000. Compromise in Prospect Next to the salar yrestoration, the hardest proposition that the administration will have to defeat is the Steiwer amendment restoring all benefits to Spanish-American war veterans. This would cost $61,000,000. The administration is prepared to compromise with old guard Republicans who are pressing for adoption of the American Legion's fourpoint program. Many features of that program already have been made effective by presidential order. The only issue on which the administration is not willing to compromise is that of pensions for widows and orphans of World war veterans whose deaths are not tranceable to service.
