"Banners of Bitterness." Last week from the heart of the South came a strong warning voice against the dangers of the economic war. Said Mississippi State Senator William Alexander: "We have lifted the banners of bitterness and prejudice above our feeling of common sense and decency against some people and companies whose records for as long as a half a century have been friendly and helpful." Noting that the Land of Boycott is hardly a place to attract new industries, Alexander pointed to an all-important—and often forgotten—fact. Cried he: "We cannot afford boycotts. We have the problem with us of sustaining and augmenting the tremendous advances we have achieved in the postwar period."
