I American-Portuguese Trade Gains Seen When War Over By Robert S. Walter! United Press Staff Correspondent Washington (U.R) Wartime trade shifts, including greater commerce between the United States and Portugal, are likely to extend Into the poriod of peace, according to Dr. Joao Antonio de Bianchi, Portuguese Ambassador to the United States. Dr. de Bianchi, who has been his country's minister here nearly 11 years, recently was raised to rank of ambassador in recognition of the growing im portance of relations between the United States and Portugal. The war has stepped up trade between the two countries. Ac cording to Dr. de Bianchi, U. S. products have done much to maintain his country's economy. Imports from the United States have included coal, wheat, newsprint and lubri cants. Portugal has sent this country cork, sisal (fiber), wines and brandy. Portugal will be in a solvent position after the war, Dr. de Bianchi said. She has pulled up substantial balances in the United States and Britain as a result of wartime commercial transactions. She also has be come a communications bridge head in Europe, a position she hopes to maintain. Dr. de Bianchi believes that airways may make the Atlantic "a greater Mediterranean" aft er the war and that Portugal is likely to profit as a result of that development, along with the United States. Britain and other countries. He pointed out that Lisbon, together with New York and Rio de Janeiro, is part of an important air-route trian gle and. that the Azores have value as a stop-over point. The Ambassador said that Portugal hopes for increased developments in her colonies after the war. These have such varied resources as copra, bees wax, sugar, coffee and fish. He noted that possibilities of tuna canneries have been studied in Angola. That colony and Mo zambique, he said, doubtless will need tractors, railway and automotive equipment once the war ends. Plans for the homeland, he said, include development of electric power and mineral re sources and expansion of the textile industry. Portugal also hopes to modernize her small merchant marine after the war. All indications are that U. S. Portuguese trade, which has shown a marked increase in re cent years, will continue to fluorish in peacetime, Dr. de Bianchi asserted. Commercial ties have been strengthened i and show promise of lasting, he said. UNCLE SAM WILL m Hf 2 - VitvUlB BIG FAMILY 29 W T PACK 288 tablets ?7 f?'
