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.
