“KNOW BOTH AMERICA’S FIRST”
By means of the news dispatches we can all follow
President-elect Hoover on his good-will tour. Incidental
ly, we learn something more than we already know
about South American geography. It is somewhat of a
mystery, unless it is a mere circumstance, that South
America should not have been developed as extensively
and intensively as the North American continent. For our
southern continental neighbors have resources, opportu
nities, climate and other advantages superior to many
other lands of the earth.
South America has one of the greatest mountain
systems in the world. It has the largest river in the
world. It has silver and gold in vast quantities—rich de
posits which have lured adventurere to its shores for
centuries. A potential water power of 54.000,000 horse
power, much of which is undeveloped, awaits to be har
nessed for manufacture and untility. Brazil alone ex
ceeds in area the United States by 250,000 square miles.
This, however, is exclusive of Alaska. Until the discovery
of diamonds in South Africa, Brazil was the world’s lead
ing producer of these precious gems. Much of South
America contains vast deposits of iron and copper ore.
Her forests yield great qauntities of rubber, cocoa and
other tropical products.
Wheat in Argentina is produced in such great quan
tity as to be proverbial. Tea, coffee, sugar cane and tobac
co are almost synonymous terms with the title “South
America.” Wool growing and stock raising are there on
vast scales. South American cities have some of the finest
pieces of architecture in the world. The best streets of
Pio de Janeiro, Monevideo, Buenos Aires and Valparai
so are among the most attractive in the world. The lar
ger cities of the continent possess modern utility conven
iences, great libraries, museums of science and art and
fine educational institutions. Railways extend far in
land and across the Andes mountains. River and coast
wise navigation is highly developed. Manufacturing in
South America, tho advancing rapidly now, was for a
long time held back due chiefly to two causes: First, the
lack of transportation facilities; and secondly, lack of es
tablished commercial relations.
But what of the future. North and South America
hack a common language and better understanding. The
Hoover trip will help in the latter named need. As a mat
ter of fact, South America is more highly developed and
further advanced in the arts and education than many
of us know about. It is only when we get to digging into
statistics that we appreciate our Southern neighbor’s
wonderful growth and economic and political stability.
One way to enable your boy to speedily overcome
hat shy and retiring disposition is to get him a job as a
driver of a five-ton truck.
