Some Things
Never, Never,
NEVER
Change
ITS NOT necessarily so that
a tie with tradition means
a muscle-bound brain. Educa
tion, for instance, is still linked
by the three-Rs to the little red
schoolhouse. But teachers no
longer sit on one end of a log,
their pupils on the other. Tra
. dition has seen to it that the
best survives.
One generation, 30 brief
years, has changed every officer
in this Company. An old roster
shows that. It's obvious that
the men who now establish
Standard policies learned their
trade from the men who pre
ceded them. Yet it's possible
for these new men to carry on
only the best tradition,
Thirty years ago, Standard's
chief business was supplying
oil for kerosene lamps. V, here
would we be now if we'd stuck
exclusively to that? But on the
human side in the matters of
fair-dealing with customers and
fellow-employees alike no
change can take place in this
or any other generation.
From top to bottom the
people in this Company sense
the fact that their heritage from
the past is on the human side.
Stability comes from keeping
abreast of economic change
while realizing that human
values like honesty haven't
changed since the beginning.
That's our link with tradition.

Rio- De Janeiro (U.R) The
Brazilian government is re
peating Horace Greeley's famous
saying, "Go west, young man . ."
as plans are pushed for exploi
tation of the Amazon river basin,
largest virgin land in the world
today and considered by experts
as possibly the largest potential
arsental of strategic war materi
als. The climax of the govern
ment's plans came during the
visit to the United States of
Minister of Finance Arthur de
Souza Costa and the visit here
of Leon Henderson, member of
the U. S. board of supplies.
Agreements already have been
reached by Souza Costa in
Washington, and the conferences
here with Henderson - are ex
pected to lead to exploitation
of the vast territory of 2.500,000
square miles, rich in native pro
ducts such as rubber, mahogany,
ebony, rosewood nuts, carnauba
wax a substitute for beeswax
tanning extracts and gum.
In addition the basin is rich
in almost all materials produced
in other tropical lands. Experts ,
do not discount the possibility
that the subsoil also hides a tre-1
mendous wealth In minerals, oil,
coal and other products of high
est importance for the demo
cracies in their present war.
Climate Atrocious
" Thus, the Brazilian govern
ment hopes that this may be the
El Dorado sought by Spanish
adventurers during the 16th and
17th centuries. It is hoped that
cultivation of this land and in-1
dustrializatlon of the remaining
country, especially in the south-1
ern states, will nlftre Rrnzil I

The present population of the
Amazon basin, which spreads
from Colombia and Venezuela in
the north to the frontiers of
Paraguay In the south, and from
the frontiers of Peru and Bolivia
in the west to the Atlantic coast
on the east, is calculated at
about 2,000,000 persons about
one person for each three-fifths
of a square mile. Climate,
Jungle and disease have been
principal factors in maintaining
the low standard of living in the
area.
The climate the year around
is a sweltering heat with much
moisture. Settlements such as
the. principal cities and organ
ized farms like that of the Ford
Motor company rubber planta
tion call for a special medical
corps and large numbers of
workers to clear the Jungle. The
government believes, however,
that concentrated effort can
clear the Jungle rapidly, thus
allowing a more bearable life
for the white man.
Around Rapids
Belem and Manaos are the
principal cities of the Amazon
basin. Belem, capital of the
state of Para at the mouth of
the Amazon river, is the outlet
for the basin and it is hoped
that with the development of
the basin it will become one of
the principal export ports of
South America.
Manaos, popularly termed
"pearl of the Amazon," is capi
tal of the state of Amazonas and
is the principal coordination
base for all efforts In the basin's
development.
Transportation is easy In most
parts of the basin due to the
Amazon river's many tribu
taries, although a railroad has
been constructed around the Ma
deira river rapids, thus permit
ting Bolivia an outlet to the At
lantic ocean.
A government official told the
United Press that exploitation of
the basin Is one of the biggest
enterprises ever undertaken by
man. The plan calls for trans
forming the world's biggest
Jungle into one of the world's
kteatest production centers.
TRAINEES NEEDED
