South America As Seen by Local Lady At HAT IS AMERICAN INDUSTRY? Following the first bomb attack on Japan by the huge new Superfortres ses, General Arnold declared: "The use of the B-29 Superfortress n combat brings actuality to an air forces' plan made years In advance for truly global aerial warfare. It proves that our planners and enigne- ®W>, coupled with the capacity of American Industry, are an unbeatable combination." What Is “American Industry?" Do Superfortresses pour out of super factories at the direction of a few officials in Washington super Into a boat and come ashore but life is not simple as that. Instead w< hooked onto a rope on a buoy and were pulled tail-flrat toward tho shore and the ramp. When we were still a good distance from the ramp we stopped and there we waited. I heard splashing outside my window and looked out and to my surprise here were two dark lirazilion« swim ming beside the plane and pushing a plane wheel ahead of them. They disappeared below the surface of th.? muddy water—wheel and all -and after an endle*« time suddenly bob- bed up again, minus the wheel, The same thing had happened on the other side of the plane and I realized that they were going to beach it before We would be allowed to dis embark. Eventually, when both tho wheels had been securely fastened to our plane under water, we were again pulled via a rope from shore, back wards and on up the ramp. At the moment before the list possible weight of the plane was supported cn the newly attached wheels the same swimming process was repeated and a steel tire was added outside the rubber-tired wheel Just as a pre caution against a tire blow-out. Finally we were inside the huge hangar and officials were running I as busy as bees. Joe and Mrs. Thomas were waving to us from the windows oi the waiting room and in a minute we were going through the red tape at the l*ustom’a windows and in the 1 ext were having a cup of coffee in the Pan Air Lounge—perhaps the coffee is a reward for sitting in the river for so long before disembark ing but anyway it tasted wonderful. My first impression of Belem as we drove through the streets of the city from the air ba«e to the Grande Hotel was that it was much cleaner than most Brazilian cities, at least the ones I have seen in the Amazon Valley, and also that it had the air of a much larger city and the build- ings were quite metropolitan in ap- t ( arance. The streets and sidewalks in this section were wide and beauti ful oyal Balms lined some of the letter streets while trees of heavy foliage similar to the umbrella trees but much taller, lined with the side walks of others. The streetcars were of a more recent "vintage" than the ones I had looked at for the past eight months in Manaus and appear- ed completed modern to my Manaos- distorted vision. Buses hurrled tu an fro, some gasoline powered to some charcoal burners with the tanks and contraptions bolted to the rear of the bus. We even saw a few charcoal powered private cars. I rains? No! The Superfortreas-s are momentary manifestations of the imagination and productive genius of free men—momentary because a here men are free their work is an endless series of miracles. Thus the Model T was yesterday’s miracle. Just the Superfortress Is today’s mir acle, while tomorrow's miracle are but dreams locked in the minds of ui.known individuals. This is American industry, free industry. If Industry Jn this country ever ceases to be free, it will no longer be truly American. And it will no longer produce miracles from the dreams of individuals. People should t>e wary cf elaborate plans to strengthen the grip of government ownership and control of basic industries such as < lectric power, oil. mining, and other .(■sources which are the foundation <>f all American industry. If government ownership is accept ed as the solution of postwar prob lems. free industry—American in dustry—will go out, and individual freedom will eventually go with It. (To be continued.)
