K.| D..C, JUNE 21, 1925-PART 2. lMaghificent Cities Are Seen In South American Nations (Continued from Third Page.) On our way home we took the train | to Sao Paulo and spent a day and a half there. This is a city of 750,000 people. It is located on- a rolling, | billy plateau with a general elevation of about 3,000 feet. There is some serubby growth over this territory but much of it is covered with high grass and it is largely agricultural. Sao Paulo is growing very rapidly. It is a great railroad center for a vast agricultural territory. Some who know the situation in South America v well prophesy that it will be the largest city in South America. Great coffee plantations are near there and it is an important manufacturing center. We were met at the station by the | aid to the president or governor of | the State of Sao Pauloi He was | {dressed in splendid military uniform | and showed us every possible cour tesy. He was a fine-looking man, every inch a xoldier. I was told t when the revolution broke out in Sao Paulo he organized a small force and | held the revolutionists at bay for two | or three days untll the government | forces could be organized. Dr. Se.| bastian Sampaio. the aide to the foi eign minister at Rio, took great i terest in my trip. ‘He wanted to do averything possible to make it pleasant, | and the arrangements for the jour. ney to Sao Paulo were made by him with Mr. Clifford Smith, who repre- sents the shipping board at Rio and who, 1 want to say, is wonderfully | vell qualified for that work and is| discharging hiz duties, in my judg-| ment, in 4 most competent and effi. | sident of Sao Paulo wanted to send a battalion of troops to meet us at the station. but Mr. Smith as- sured them that I would much preter that this be not done, although we appreciated more than we could ex- press the honor that they wanted to| do us. He finally prevailed -upon | them not te do it, largely on Ihei grounds that 1 was not visiting Sao Paulo on an official mission but sim- ply as a private citizen. They gra- on sending the military representative of the President to the station. They placed two splendid antomobiles at | our service for the whole time we | were there. day and night. We got into Sao Paulo about noon After luncheon they took ,us to the &nake farm. That seems fo be the first attraction at Sao Paulo. Every- body goes there. It is a very interest. | ing place. Of course. the visitors do not get close to the snakes unless the snake is securely held some at. | tendant. This snake farm is a splen- | did institution. The primary purpese | of it is to find antidotes for poisonou snake bites. This renders a tre mendous service in Brazil. There are many poisonous snakes there and many lives have been lost from snake Lites. We saw several different kinds of rattlesnakes and many other ven omous snakes of Brazil, the names of | which T cannot give. The. have de- | veloped antidotes for all their pofson- | ous snakes except one. This is the | most deadly snake in Brazil. It is a rather small, harmlese-looking snake, with bright green and brown, mark ings The next day {elal car to take us out to Campinas | where we visiied a large coffee planta- ton of about 3.000 acres. with a mag nificent home plantation building. The | coffee trees, we were told. were planted | about 70 vears ago. They had what looked ‘ike a good crop on them. This | was about 60 miles out from Sao| Paulo and reallv in the heginning of | the coffee territory. We spent the day on this trip. The zovernor at Cam. pinas met us at the station and ac-| cempanied us through:the plantation jand then gave uz a luncheon. they furnished a !D“-{‘ magnificent | | We returned to Sao Paulo and were | taken for a ride about the city. It is the newest, most active and most rap- idlv developing city that was visited. { New buildings appeared on every hand and construction was going cn with feverish activity. When I was in the thought that if 1 were a young man and wanted to leave my own country. T would go to Argentina. When I got into Sao Paulo, I was not sure but that if I were a voung man and wanted to leave my own country, I would go to Sao Paulo. Really I would like to have a ranch in the Argentine, a coffee " plantation near Sao Paulo, and a villa at Rio, with an opportunity to spend part of the vear at Montevideo. Sao Paulo’s Visit Short. The day and a half that we were in Sao Paulo went all to soon. A special car was put at our disposal !to take us by night train to Rio. I should have been glad to make this trip in the davtime, but could not. | We had two or three hours of day light. however. before we got into Rio, and the scenery was wonderfully beautiful. The country through which we passed was rolling and hilly. large- agricultural. but is but little de- oped. The railroad was govern ment owned and operated. as are post of the railroads in Brazil and many of those in the other countries in South America. I was told that these rail- roads did not pay and that there are many more employes than necessary. These statements, of course, may have been from biased sources. The train seemed to be well handled. and it cer- tainly did run fast through the hills and tunnels as we neared Rio. I think it made about a mile a minute. We unloaded American goods at Santos nearly all day and all night. One man said to me: “My, it looks g0od to see American products landed here from American ships, and you have done it.” Whether T helped or not, it makes me feel good to know that men think | s0, and 1 confess that T did not try to disabuse his mind of that idea. T had more kind words,on this trip for my efforts to build up an American merchant marine than ever before. Americans in these foreign ports seem to realize more than the people at home what an American merchant marine means to them and to com- e. T ook us about two days to_go from Santos to Montevideo. We | reached there about 5:30 in the eve- ning. We had decided to get off and Argentine T JR.O.U.

It was a very pleas- ant one. We visited a packing plant where they often kill 2,500 cattle in | | ing ‘about ' the outskirts, we saw several droves of cattle coming in for slaughter. There are two large pack- ing ‘houses at Montevideo and one, sald to be the largest in the world, near Buenos Alres.

The American Chamber of Com- merce of Montevideo had a meeting, and I had the pleasure of attending it. There were 50 or 75 splendid look ing, energetic American business men present, and we had a most enjoyable time. There were American chambers of commerce in all the principal cities of South America. We had a meeting of about 150 at Rio. They are a fine class of men and reflect credit American business. This is ver portant, as these people judge us at home by the men they see and come in contact with.
