With two eight-hour shifts and employment of approximately 30 men, already the north end of one runway has been raised to the ap- pointed grade. TIrrigation ditches and a long dyke on the channel side ‘of the airport have been con- structed to drain the south end of the field which is almost completely submerged at high tide. F. B. Craddock, head of the Ju- neau office for the company, has just returned from the Westward, | having made a survey of the prog ress in the construction of the Cor- | dova and Boundary airports.

In Ven- ezuela, as well as in the rest of South America, there is tremen- dous opportunity for U. S. indus= try to develop sources of raw ma- terials and also to find markets for its goods.

Capitalized at 2,125,000 Bolivares (approxi- mately $700,000), the plant started production at the cnmpletmn of the ceremonies. #Our new plant will not com- pete with our American tire fac- tories,” Mr. O'Neil explained. “There is a new and growing market there for all kinds of in- dustrial products. All the ma- chinery which went into the Gen- eral Tire plant came from the| United States, and while this machinery was installed under the supervision of our engineers, all the work was done by native employees who had never had any experience in an industrial plant. “An extensive road-building program mow being planned will result ‘in a tremendous market for American trucks. Although the General Tire plant is the first important factory in Venezuela, others will follow. In fact, sev- eral other industries are now in- vestigating this territory “I was most impressed with the fine cooperation and the adapta- bility of Venezuelan labor,”” Mr. O'Neil 'said. “They learned won- derfully fast. The group of Ven- ezuelin business men and gov- ernment leaders with whom we worked are the most successful and | enterprising men in the country. They have been most cooperative with us, and they are most enthusiastic about the re- sults obtained so far, and the op- portunities of the future !“The country has a stable gov- ernment headed by men who have good common sense. It is sound financially, and because of the poyalties received from the oil be- ing shipped out of the country, and indicated that they are in full cooperation with the allies in fighting Hitlerism. “Venezuela is a country tre- mendously rich in natural re- sources. There are a great many raw materials that can be used in compounding rubber. The cli- mate of Caracas itself is wonder- ful—like that of Denver. Al- though only a short distance from the equator, because of its altitude (3500 feet above sea level), the temperature doesn’t g0 higher than 80 during the day nor lower than 50 at night, all year round. However, due to its varying altitudes, practically every character of vegetable grown anywhere in the world can be grown in Venezuela.” The new plant was officially opened June 17th. Venezuela’s towering six-and-a-half-foot President, General Isaias Medina, dedicated the plant before a crowd of several hundred. Other offi- cials -participating included: Wil- liam O’Neil, General Tire & Rub- ber Company president; Joseph Andreoli, vice president of The General Tire Export Company; Dr. Alfredo Machado Hernandez, the Venezuelan company's first president who resigned to become Venezuela's minister of finance, and who originated the action to bring about this cooperative fac- tory; Dr Frank Corrigan, United States, minister to Venezuela; Dr. J. M. Travieso Paul and Raymqnd E. Tello, president and general manager, respectively, of the new company. Fourteen men from Akron, headed by Henry J. Con- roy, are handling ‘plant manage-‘ ment. Known as the Compania Ano- nima. Nacional, Manufacturera de Caucho y “Neumaticos General,” there are no taxes of any kind.
