Brazilian Economic Confusion
Brings Cry for Strong Executive
By EDGAR MILLER
Of the Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO Housewives line up for blocks to
buy milk, salt, rice, sugar and beans in Rio de Janeiro.
Thousands of hungry farmers leave dusty, sun-corched
fields in the northeast in quest of food and work.
Prices soar to new heights daily all over the country.
Workers strike for higher wages and students strike for
a greater voice in university affairs. Restlessness grows in
military ranks.
These are symptoms of a widening crisis that has stirred
demands from some Brazilians for strong rule for authority
of the kind traditionally exercised by the president but now
sharply curtailed by the parliamentary system.
The system was a compromise adopted during the crisis
created by the surprise resignation of President Janio Quad
roi last August Under parliamentary rule, Joao Goulart has
the title of president but not the strong power.
Critics cite the food shortage in Rio as an example of
economic confusion that a strong hand could clear up. Most
of the items in short supply here rice, beans, sugar and salt
are available abundantly elsewhere in the nation.
The shortages have been caused principally by producers
and wholesalers attempting to get price increases and by
government efforts to hold down prices to combat inflation.
This has led to strikes by distributors who refuse to deliver
any more of their products without a price increase.
In nearly all cases, the government price control agency
has stepped in and sold the products directly to the consum
er. In all parts of the city lines of customers waiting to buy
food from government trucks extend for blocks.
"There's no leader, no feeling of authority in Brazil to
day, says a student.
Signs are appearing on buildings and walls throughout
Brazil calling for a plebiscite to let the people decide on the
form of government they want.
Fifteen of the nation's 22 state governors agreed that it
is time to take the issue to the people for a vote.
The impetus for all this comes from Goulart himself who
declares that it's time to "revitalize authority."
But other voices, fearful of giving Goulart full executive
power, are being raised in opposition. Among these are mili
tary leaders, a majority of congress and personalities such
as Gov. Carlos Lacerda of Guanabara, considered by many
as the spokesman for the extreme right in Brazil.
One deputy said it would take a crisis like the one last
August to get Congress to approve another change of sys
tems. Under the parliamentary setup. Congress has more
power through its control of the selection and retention of
the prime minister.
Some lawmakers also fear that Goulart wants to become
a dictator or, at least, a strong-man president of the Getulio
Vargas type. He was once a political protege of Vargas.
Before he became president, millionaire Goulart was ac
cused by his critics of being too far to the left, of working
with Communists to strengthen his political hand. But as
president and leader of 70 million Brazilians he has moved
to the middle of the road.
His visit to the United States last April strengthened his
hand with many Brazilians, and he saw an opportunity to
call for "sweeping reforms at the base" which he said could
be carried out successfully only through a revision of the
constitution. And he hinted that a return to the presidential
system would be helpful.
Kennedy plans a return visit to Brazil July 30 to con
tinue the talks started by Goulart in Washington. Goulart
apparently has little hope of getting reforms pushed through
before Kennedy's arrival. These and his bid for greater pow
er will have a test later this year, when the nation holds Its
congressional and gubernatorial elections in October,
