In the Days News
3 By FRANK JENKINS
. As this is writte, President
Eisenhower's plane has landed
in the city of Brasilia. A few
minutes ago my phone rang.
A voice at the other end of
the wire asked: "What's this
Brasilia, where Ike is sup
posed to arrive today?"
It's the shining, new, ultra
modern capital of Brazil. It is
located about 600 miles in
land from sophisticated, lux
urious Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's
former capital. It is so new
that the paint is hardly dry
on the buildings where paint
was used. It was carved out
of the prehisetoric, timeless
tropical jungle.
HOW did the Brazilians
come to move their cap
ital from an old, solid, beau
tiful city to this new site in
a raw wilderness?
Well, they had a precedent.
WE provided it. In the late
1700's, we decided to move
OUR capital from old (old in
the New World sense, that is)
Philadelphia-which had been
our capital throughout the
Revolutionary War and was
the meeting place of the first
U.S. Congress-to a raw, new
site in the wilderness border
ing the" Potomac river, some
200 miles to the south. It was
in Philadelphia that Washing
ton was inaugurated for his
second term. John Adams
took his oath of office as Pres
ident there.
It was in Philadelphia that
John Marshall, later Chief
Justice of the United States,
announced the death of
George Washington and ut
tered the phrase that has be
come inseparably linked with
Washington's name: "First in
war, first in peace, first in the
hearts of his countrymen."
decided to leave the old
" and STRIKE OUT INTO
THE NEW -which has been
characteristic of America's
growth and development.
We hired a French archi
tect and engineer, Pierre
Charles L'Enfant, who came
to America in 1777 to fight
on our side in the War of
the Revolution. His plan for
the new capital city of the
U.S-A. was accepted by. the
congress and he began work
on it in 1791. But, a year lat
er, he had a disagreement with
President Washington, and
was dismissed. --
President Washington was
a FIRM character. He had his
own. ideas, and insisted that
they be carried out. He was
not the mild and beneficent
old gentleman depicted for us
in the painting that has be
come stylized. The painting
of him that hangs in the old
Masonic lodge hall in Arling
ton is much nearer to his true
character.
But L'Enfant's plan for the
new capital city was carried
out and has given us one oi
the world's most beautiful
cities.
SO
You see
The Brazilians have prece
dent for what they have done.
IN CONCLUSION, a word
about Brazil.
The United States of Bra
zil ranks first among the Latin-American
states in area,
population, natural resources
and industries. It is the fourth
largest country in the world,
ranging after the Soviet Un
ion J China and Canada. It is
bifcer than the entire conti
nent of Europe.
The new capital city of Bra
ihtai will be formally inaugu
r ated on April 21 of this year,
"during Ike's visit, the United
,States and Brazil will issue a
second "declaration of Bra
I
silia" rallinff for lnter-Ameri-
f en cooDeration as the best
means of meeting communist
thrusts in Latin-America-of
. WniOn Wllal uayyciimg xxx
Cuba is an example.
' Ike's big task there will be
to convince Latin Americans
i that we haven't been ignoring
the Western Hemisphere and
its problems. It might be
added here that he has z job
on his hands. There is consid
erable evidence that in recent
years we have been concen
trating on the old world and
taking the new one for
granted.
