Tonight, you are going to hear the nest fascinating story
es to your future -~ end my -- you can possibly merino.

The story I an shout to tell is the result of eight swaths of
racom'ch on the pert or over fifty In .- ell We in their field.
to and correspondence Ihich hes gone into this subject weighs in
excess of thirty-five pounds. And ;'et, now thet we heve the facts.

the story of new untold wealth for our State is so simple in the
tellin: .

130v. insgine this -- I an going to tell you abou the
"Diamond Fields of Florida. Not quite the di-onde of tho dish-om!
mines, but fer more precious lid velueble .... I on going to tell
you of s new industry we on have in Florida which surpasses anything
you could possibly insane ... a new source of wealth for our stete
which is so inspiring thlt it will be your principal topic of
conservation end interest beyond all other subjects

Here's a little interesting side-light. We hove worked on
this project ... as I said, for eight long swaths ... developing
the research ... testing it ... meeting with non end men who have
devoted their lives to this subject. Ween-splat:th is
new- assumed in lillione upon millions of new melt]: for Florida
and the use or over 600 'mcmmm sores or Florida lands that are
now used for nothings

And yet ... not e single candidate for Governor ... iron
soon; all my opponents for this most honored office ... he: said
gm_e sglitm Maw 31.

how, this wealth ... this colonel new Florid- induetry ...
can be ours (yours and nine) but not without e battle. Because to
schism this new-found raider of Florida's history we will hove to
race a firht on the question of the sovereign rights or our State.
2.2011 win that Hams!- my heme is not. Ferris Dayan.

lot I must touch on these rights inch were guaranteed to
us Ly that beloved dommnt, the United States Constitution, in
order that We may all understand the work before an n the work
which m. must do toner-her before we echieve our rightful gift.

Here's an industry that will hrin: to the State of
Florida an additional capital investunt of at least W
million dollars. Millions of thoae dollara are available at
this very minute -- and if the word "so. were given tonight,
the money would be forthco-ing m Floridians tomorrow.

Here's an industry that will uploy thousands more of
our citizens and support many other: in all wells or life; skilled
and uneLilled laborers; executives, administrators and professional
men; chmiete, doctora, lawyers. and merchants; machinists,
uochanice. engineera. agriculturiste and researchers; truck and
tractor drivers, contractors and construction workers; clerks,
typists, bookkeepers and etmographere; dragline operators and
dynamiters; welders, plumbers, electricians and steaniittere;
nurses, teachers and technicians.

In fact. it's almost impossible to tuggeet anyone um
analysts to physioieta who won't be capabee of mpeoyment in such
an expanded sugar industry in l-lorida.

{mole countries have been supported on loan than the
,roceoda from one and a half million tons of sugar a year. We
can have such an industry in Florida. I believe we can have it for
the asking, and as your Governor, I will personally go to
wellington to Join our fine Congressional delegation in asking
it: the quota necessary to par place at least this substantial
,orcion or our sugar needs W the reach of foreign dictators,
yotontatee or yoliciee. I firmly believe Congress will heed this
tall and will gladly permit the too long, delayed development in
this state of an industry that has proven its ability to out-
produce other areas at e lower cost while mainteininy higher living
standards for its uployeee. The sugar industry is were efficient
1h l-lorida, it ill: should develop in Florida, and as your
Covemor, I shall eee that it does!

} ..e need the industry we need the tax revenue that
industry will produce -- we need the prosperity that will remit

But Iho l-Iiami New could how gone much further. Parria

rizhts are slowly ebbing may. I haw: said that the callous
invasion or our W Stratee' Rights an: is leading us
to a form on! dictatorship 3521:. different form of government
for this nation of euro. We have allowed ourselves to drift
amleesly to a position were the edicts of mahincton have provided
the greatest imaginable handicaps to Florida's greatest sources of
wealth.

But we: who have I said was m to blame? Cur
Senators and momenta? Our President? The two great pun
political parties? ...... No! You and I are to bhaho, because we
have slept peacefully while our rights and privilege: have seeped
may. we have been new eager for the easy may or life ... we have
so thoroughly accepted an imaginary power in Remington which could
hand to no the means for our livlihood we have entered a
droamland whereby all thief: mild come to us without effort ... -'..
111-11: 1-yehave m- very nearly gun way our democracy.

st-u the time has come for us to wake up :

"hat newspaper should have acid that Paris Rryant has
condmmed a lauef the United States which sakes travel to foreign
ocvrtriao a lone commune proposition than travel to Florida. I on
speaking of the "See Florida Last" tax. Your om federal government
has imposed a ten per cent tmc on all tickets .... whether by plane.
train, boat, or hue purchased by tourists who wish to come to
Florida for their vacations, m uh: wish to to summer:- ole:- within
the United States for that matter. nut this malith tax is 1'0":
applied should the tourist oloct cezrioit a foreir-a country instead.

tickets to c free: How York to I'aooou with his fanin ...and return ...
will pay an extra hundred dollar: organ; those some tirkots
should he wish to spend his vacation with us in Iloride. And the
distance is almost identical.

_ a -

And if he should come to Florida, and should he choose
nanhnlz to buy a two dollar ticket to take a little boat ride in
one c? our many scenic purl: while he is here, that ticket ... believe
it or not ... must also include a Federal travel tax of ten per cent.

Volts, I'm talkinr about your greatest industry. The

r.
I-

travel and tturist industry accounts fer some 65 of the tax

rereauc whi;h you and I enjoy. I'm talking about your property ...
an industry of such great importance to each and every one of us
that should it ever be eliminated while American tourist dollars
roam the streets of paris, thi State can revert to swamp lands.

Ferric iryant has referred to the citrus industry of our
State ... the lornest arricultural industry we have ... and I have
called your attention to careless inspection of imported verotation
uhichn has allowed disease and pests to enter Florida from foreign
lande.which hare cost us millions to rid our citrus groves.
of these imported detrimento. And that inspection is a federal
responsibility. I have called your attention to millions of
dollars of your can money uhich has been spent to develoP
~cnpetitive citrus againsianxat a;riculture in other countries ...
and then I have pointed out that your State Department has allowed
foreign rovornmente to impose restrictions on the import of Florida
citrus products tp their markets ... while the very countries we
have financed are allowed to bring their fruit in without those
unfair restrictions. I have said ... and I say again ... than when
I an elected Governor of Florida I will launch a vigorousnttack
ugon these handicaps that our state may enjoy the just return it
so richly deserves from the untirin effort of our citrus prowers
and the millions of dollars they have themselves invested ...
tithont a dollar of federal subsidy.

Not long are, our Florida cattle industry was confronted
with a dread disease caused by a little animal called a "screw
