The 1950s were the crucial period for the economic development of Mezzogiorno. In 1950 three laws of the land reform were promulgated and the agrarian reform and modernization began to be implemented. In the same year the Cassa per il Mezzogiorno (the state fund for the South) was set up. A great number of scholars, journalists, essayists and politicians participated in the discussions of the questioni meridionali (the southern questions) and made public their opinions in magazines and newspapers. This paper aims to expatiate and examine the then current articles. They are different from the statistics or the academic researches. They convey us the enthusiasm or the desperation of the discussants who witnessed the southern situation. These articles were collected meticulously in Informazioni SVIMEZ which Associazione per lo sviluppo dell' industria del Mezzogiorno continues to publish until today since its foundation in December 1946. This paper picks up a newspaper article La industrializzazione del Mezzogiorno la facciamo onon la facciamo? (Do we implement or do we not implement the industrialization of the Southern Italy?) collected in Informazioni SVIMEZ, January 26-February 2, 1955, in order to expatiate and discuss the witness' opinion on the economic development in Mezzogiorno.
