The Washington Post Editorial on Roosevelt South Policy

It praises his overall principles, critiques Crum’s Charleston appointment, and urges that the president’s actions reflect national rather than sectional interests. The piece notes Roosevelt’s popularity across parties and predicts South attitudes may shift. It also discusses sugar imports and domestic production trends.
