BRAZIL NEEDS MORE
FARMERS, GETS
SLICKERS INSTEAD
(By TAD SZULC)
i.*P> Newsfeatures
RIO DE JANEIRO—At the mo
ment when Brazil most needs its
agriculture resources to feed its
own population and to contribute
to the world-wide program of
postwar rehabilitation, its rural
population continues to abandon
the fields to migrate to the big
urban centers.
Thus facing one of the most ser
ious problems of its administra
tion, the government is trying to
solve it by directed immigration
and stimulation of city workers to
return to the rural zones.
Trouble Grows
In spite of various measures
adopted with the aim of returning
rural populations to agricultural
districts, the situation has grown
worse and worse, and the neces- j
sity of a further immigration be-1
comes evident. The government;
has acted by promulgating a de
cree establishing new rules and
dispositions as to the entrance of
immigrants to Brazil.
According to the decree for the
admission of immigrants there
will be taken into consideration!
the necessity of “preserving and
developing in the ethical composi
tion of the population, the most
convenient characteristics of their
European descent.”
The admission of immigrants
will be ruled by quotas which will
not exceed yearly two percent of
the total amount of immigrants of
a country between 1884 and 1933.
Immigration Plans
This means that the Italians
will be allowed approximately
25.000 yearly, Portuguese 22,000,
Spaniards 10,000, the Japanese
4.000 and Germans a little over
3.000. The decree also stipulates
i that when a country’s quota is be
: low 3,000, it can be raised up to
that number by a resolution of the
Immigration and Colonization
Council.
The decree stipulates that only
authorized companies will be al-'
lowed to transport immigrants to I
Brazil.
The decree emphasizes that
families with at least three per- j
sons abK to work, from 15 to 50 J
years, will have priorities.
ELIND LATHE MA N—One of two blind workers *m
plo.ved at a General Electric plant at Schenectady, N. Y., l'res
ton G. Harrington, a lathe operator, makes a gauge check on a
small motor part which he machines. Sightless since birth, his
highly developed sense of touch actually aids him in his work.
“No, No, Mr. Abercrombie, that isnt what we mean
when we say *Go Outside by Clipper* ”
Outside means Outside .. . not outside! Or are we mixing
you up, Mr. “A”? What we re pointing out is that the
Clipper lounge seats in the big, Douglas-built DC-3s flown
by Pan American are mighty comfortable. And refresh
ments or hot meals aloft are part of the fare, too. Passenger
lists are pretty well filled, and advance reservations are
necessary. Make yours, at the address below, just as early
as possible, please.
