1920’s an old-fashioned family
was a family without a car; in the
1930’s it was a family without a
radio; in the 1940’s it was a family
without an automatic refrigerator,
washer and freezer; in the 1950's
it was a family without TV and to
day it’s the family without an air

it be in the 1960’s?

MY RECENT TRIP to South
America as representative of the
Senate Committee on Agriculture
and Forestry to the Marketing
Conference of Agricultural At
taches held in Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil, left me with two profound
impressions.
p- ■' ' One of these
was my first
hand view of
the results of a
national policy
of total racial
integration. No
segregation i s
practiced in
Brazil and the
majority of the people are of mixed
blood. It was my observation that
about 10 per cent of them are
white, another 10 per cent are
black and the remaining 80 per
cent run the gamut of every shade
between. Brazil's experience in this
regard is a complete and irrefuta-.
ble answer to those in our own
country who contend that racial
integration does not result in racial
amalgamation.
* • •
THE OTHER THING which
struck me was the evidence on
every hand of the unlimited op
portunities for expanded trade,
particularly in surplus agricultural
commodities, which South America
offers for the United States.
Despite its tremendous wealth of
natural resources, * this continent,
outside of its population centers, is
largely undeveloped and the diet of
most of its people consists prin
cipally of beans and rice. In Brazil
alane, for example, not enough cot
ton is produced annually to provide
each of its more than 60-million
inhabitants with one item of wear
ing apparel.
From these facts it is easy to j
visualize the possibilities for the ;
export of poultry and dairy prod
ucts, wheat, corn, cotton and other
items which we in this nation are
producing in surplus quantities at
this time.
* * *
EVEN IN THE absence of a
concerted program, the United
States last year sold $523,600,000
in such commodities to the coun
tries of South America and the
Caribbean Area. The agricultural
attaches—all of whom impressed
me as dedicated, knowledgeable I
and hard-working men — told me
that this represents only a fraction
of the potential trade in farm
goods which could be realized!
through intensive competitive sales !
efforts.
I left Brazil with the firm con
viction that ways must be found to
tap this vast market not only for
the benefit of our own farmers and
domestic economy but also for the
advancement and uplifting of our
neighbors to the South. I could not
help thinking on my return flight
how blindly foolish it is for us here
at home to be so bent on reducing
our agricultural production that we-
cannot see apid take advantage of’
the great dimand for our farm
commodities Which exists in the
remainder of the world.
