A—10 American Resources Development Group To Start Work ", Commission Will Plan : New Industries for Western Hemisphere ‘With the Inter-American De- velopment Commission holding its first meeting here tomorrow, Wash- ington will see this week .another move toward closer economic collab- oration among nations of the West- ern Hemisphere. Establishment of this commission followed the conference of 21 Amer- {can Republics at Panama soon after the outbreak of the European war last September. The commission’s five members are: Undersecretary of Commerce Noble, Rafael Crea- uno, former Minister of Costa Rica to the United States; George W. Magalhaes of the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Inter- pational Co.; Renato Azeveda, man- aging director of Lloyd Brasileiro, Brazilian Steamship Co., and Carles Campbell, commercial counselor of the Chilean Embassy in Washing- ton. The commission has two major ebjectiv: One is to promote the ¢reation of new industries in Latin | merica. The other is to increase | rade between the countries of the | Western Hemisphere. In recom- | mending new industries, the com- | mission will place special stress on | the development of lines of Latin American production for which a| new or complementary market can | be found either in the United States, | or in other republics of the West- ern Hemisphere. By developing such lines. it is hoped to make the New World less dependent on European, Asiatic and other non-American sources of supply. Encourage Use of Capital. In the enterprises, it is planned to encourage the use of both United States and Latin American capi- tal. The commission will survey the field, and indicate the enter- prises which, in its opinion, offer op- portunities for investment of capi- tal, with reasonable security for the investor. Lack of capital, in recent | years, has been an" obstacle to the development of new industries in many parts of Latin America. Because of the European war, which threatens to cut off the source | of supply for many strategic and critical materials, administration of- ficials have been studying the pos- sibility of obtaining greater quanti- ties of these materials from the | New World. Bolivia, for example. has large de- posits of tin, and a start has been made toward the production of rub- ber in Brazil. Tin and rubber are two important strategic national de- fense materials for which the United States, at present, is largely depend- ent on Asiatic sources of supply. Will Appoint Committees. Under its present plans, the com- mission will appoint committees of technical experts in each of the | American republics. -These commit- | tees, in the areas covered by each, | will canvass mineral and other nat- | ural resources and study the pos- sibility of establishing new industrial | plants. On the basis of the experts’ findings, the commission will make | recommendations for the establish- ment of new enterprises. | At its meeting tomorrow, to be held in the office of Undersecretary Noble, the commission will elect a chairman, a vice chairman and an executive secretary. Two members of the commission were named by President Roosevelt. These two are Undersecretary Nobie and Mr. Magalhaes. | Moscow Opens Wire To Eastern Towns Moscow has forged a new and {powerful link with its Far Eastern possessions, the telegraph line com- tpleted to Khabarovsk, the new town jon the River Amur where the rail- iway turns south to Vladivostok. 1. The new line is 5,600 miles long. +It has been carried across swamps and soil permanently frozen, big #tracts of forest having bee.. cleared for its passage. It will not only enable many of the towns of Siberia and the Far East to communicate directly with Moscow, but will put them in touch with every city in the vast country. The line will also sbe used for broadcasts and to trans- :mlt photographs.
