MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON -THURSDAY. MAY 2. 1S63 -C 9 Brazil Said Rushing Headlong Toward Destiny Yet To Be Determined Editor's note, Phil New. era. United Press Interna tional foreign nw analyst, recently completed i 25,000 milt trip through South Amirica. The olio wins article, fourth in itritt oi five, concerns Bmil. Br PHIL NCWSOM UPl Foreign News Analyst Hio Do Janeiro. Brazil Twelve hundred miles north of Rio's mosaic streets and the white beaches and luxury hotels of the C o p a c a bana, Severino Luiz da Silva cuts sugar cane nine months of the year for less than 25 cents a , to come to Brazil. Luiz da S'A- day. Mis home is in the village of Portarice, 30 miles from Recife, in Brazil's perennially p o v e r t y-stricken northeast where communism has its strongest hold. Luis da Silva is one of nearly 20 million landless "campesinos" in Brazil s northeast who are being goad ed by extreme nationalist and left-wing politicians into the violence which almost daily hits the sugar plantations and the cattle ranches. If full-scale revolution Is w will be among its reasons. and perhaps give Moscow its greatest prize. Destiny Not Determined Brazil is a nation rushing headlong toward a destiny which still must be deter mined. Its politicians range from the extreme right to le extreme left. It has the pov erty of the northeast and it has the city of Sao Paulo in the south where a booming industry has built a standard of living that has improved constantly despite Brazil's ap palling inflation almost SO per cent last year alone. It has Its new inland capi tal of Brasilia, designed to be the world's most modern but its completion now slowed by tightened credits. And it has Rio where a SO per cent government-imposed salary increase and a "13th month" of extra pay has en abled construction worker Jose Silva to buy new work shoes, carry beans, meat and rice in his lunch pail and drink the white and powerful "leite da onca." Brazil this year is scheduled to receive $410 million from the United States to help bol ster its failing credits and to forward the Alliance for Prog res program of new schools, housing and water supplies and of aid to agriculture and small industry. A new three-year program looks forward to slashing Brazil's inflation rate to 10 per cent by 1965. Semblance of Stability Under President Joao Gou lart Brazil has achieved a semblance of government sta bility after, the uncertainty and chaos verging on civil war which followed the resigna tion of President Janio Qua dros in August, 1961. By the end of the century, Brazil, South America's most industrialized and populous nation with 70 million inhabi tants, could be among the world's major powers. But on the debit side are her national debt of more than $2 billion and another $900 million deficit in her budget this year. Against her also are the promises made but repeatedly broken to halt inflation, sta bilize the cruzcro and to insti tute land reform. A mounting nationalism is anti-Yankee, inflicts severe restrictions on foreign invest ments and demands national ization of industry. To meet her goals, Brazil needs $500 million this year in private and public investments. U. S. Investors Frightened But in 1962, frightened U.S. investors, with more than a billion dollars already tied up in Brazil, increased that figure by only $8 million. In 1960, it had been $28 million. And, finally there is In creasing uncertainty as to the direction Brazil's politicians are leading her. Luis Da Silva is caught in the vise of a social revolution in which lines are tightly drawn. On the one side are the pol iticians and union organizers who urge him to violence if necessary to obtain his rights. On the other are the big plantation owners who tradi tionally have held him in a peonage virtually amounting to slavery and who today plead declining sugnr prices to resist a minimum wage of $1 per day.
