In the opening games of second

Although most of the agricultural

United States-Soutli American
Trade Developed After
Civil War
Prepared by National Geographic Society.
Washington, D. C.—WNU Service.
“Foreign trade has long
arms,” said a rancher on the
Argentine pampa. “I buy a
Chicago windmill to pump
water for my cattle, miles of
barbed wire to fence my pas
tures, or a tractor from Detroit
I pay by selling North America
a load of hides for tanneries, a
cargo of flaxseed for paint fac
tories—or I sell my hogs and
cattle to a local packing plant
that ships meat to London, and
pay in cash.”
Such is the essence of world
trade.
Portuguese had founded the old
town of Olinda, near what is now
Recife (Pernambuco) in Brazil,
about 100 years before Henry Hud
son saw Manhattan island by the
time Massachusetts colony was be
ing formed, they had already built
many sugar factories thereabouts.
Soon afterward, Dutch traders es
tablished Pernambuco, where cen
turies later the German transatlan
tic dirigible long tied up.
How gold hunting Spaniards
blazed trails from Panama to Ar
gentina, conquered and sacked In
dian settlements, and built their own
citie? and churches is an oft-told
tale.
No less familiar is the record of
English exploration, with the adven
tures of Sebastian Cabot, Sir Fran
cis Drake, Hawkins, and others.
England Takes the Lead
Up to the time of our Civil war,
probably no man anywhere imag
ined what a destiny lay ahead of
this continent.
Of course these young nations
needed credit, capital, immigration
—besides advice—just as did our
own land in its youth. As with us,
too, it was from Europe these things
first came, in return for South Amer
ica’s raw materials.
England, particularly, took the
lead. Though she did not send emi
grants by hundreds of thousands, as
Italy later did, she gave credit, sup
plied capital and business brains,
started ocean ship lines, laid cables,
and built railways until by 1900 she
dominated the finances and com
merce of all South America.
Guano from Peru was coming
around the Horn to Baltimore, for
use on our Atlantic coast farms,
when the Mexicans still owned Cali
fornia. In 1809 Brazil sent us her
first coffee, a cargo of 1,522 bags,
landed at Salem, Mass., from the
ship Marquis de Someruelas. From
that first small shipment this trade
has grown till now it takes 7,000,000
or 8,000,000 bags of Brazilian coffee
to meet our needs.
Foreigners Take Roles.
Like Cecil Rhodes in Africa, cer
tain foreign pioneers played con
spicuous roles in South America’s
early development.
Some were English, some Irish,
some from the United States. There
was William Wheelwright, a Yankee
who founded the historic Pacific
Steam Navigation company, built
railways, and had monuments
raised in his honor. And Henry
Meiggs, from California, who “flung
the amazing Oroya Railway across
the sky-piercing passes of the Peru
vian Andes” and the two Harmans
of Virginia, John and Archer, of
“Guayaquil to Quito” fame
In that miraculous rail-laying
task, they say fever took cne human
life for every tie laid through 50
miles of jungle. Both brothers
were dead before this job was done
—one killed by a landslide but not
before the hardest work was fin
ished and the rails well on their way
to lofty, isolated Quito.
Fresn from County Cork, 200
young Irishmen landed in Peru one
day in 1850. Among them was Wil
liam R. Grace. Malaria killed most
of the band other survivors went
on to Australia, but Grace stuck.
He started business with a store
ship serving Peru’s Chincha islands
guano fleet and lived to see a pas
senger fleet of his own swarm over
two seas, a fleet that was later to
send one of the first ships through
the Panama canal and the first un-

Highest Peak in Mexico
The highest peak in Mexico is the

Milk Lacks Copper and Iron

Pan-American Trade Proves

shipment of coffee in 1809.
der the new Golden Gate bridge at
San Francisco.
Panama Canal Opened.
When Grace died, long eventful
years after his guano adventure, he
had been twice mayor of New York
city and had built up an organiza
tion which for far-flung diversity of
operations was and is without paral
lel under the American flag.
Opening of the Panama canal
speeded up sale and travel between
the Americas and saw the Grace
operations broaden almost to resem
ble such historic firms as the East
India or Hudson’s Bay companies.
Besides its sea and air ships, its
two-way barter with South America
is a perfect example of how com
merce flows. Southbound, its boats
may carry food, steel, farm imple
ments, or other machines needed
there, and bring back to us anything
from tin and nitrate to balsa wood
and coffee.
Rubber’s Uses Multiplied.
Most of the world’s rubber once
came from the Amazon valley. After

and guerrilla warfare.
the discover, of vulcanization, rub
ber’s uses multiplied and demand
for it raised prices to $3 a pound.
Brazilians made fabulous fortunes
almost overnight.
Then this rubber goose that laid
the eggs of gold was slain. Rubber
seeds, smuggled out, were used to
start new plantations in Malaysia
now they supply most of the world’s
needs, and Brazil’s output has
dwindled to a few thousand tons.
However, following studies by the
American Rubber commission, a
Brazilian subsidiary of the Ford
Motor company began operations in
1927 in the Amazon valley, original
home of the rubber tree.
Comprising some 2,500,000 acres,
the rubber lands lie along the Tapa
joz river, a big tributary of the
Amazon. At Fordlandia, 110 miles
from the Amazon, the first trees
were planted in 1929, and this year
the first tappings of latex were
made.
At Belterra, about 30 miles above
the Tapajoz’s mouth, another plan
tation is being started. This one
is laid out in squares, and 25-foot
roads run straight through at mile
and-a-half intervals.
Up to July 31, 1937, on both rubber
farms more than 12,000 acres have
been cleared and planted to 2,200,000
seedlings.
In a nursery about five million
more young trees are being grown.
The company has built its own town,
with water works, sewers, hospital,
stores, homes for the United States
staff and native workers, a sawmill,
dry kilns, electric plant, miles of
roads, docks, warehouses, etc. It
is also experimenting with a view
to growing and marketing other
tropical products, such as fibers,
nuts, and vegetable oils.
Although it is the moon that
causes the tides, high tide does not
occur when the moon is directly
overhead. The tides lag behind, due
to interference from the earth’s
land areas.
When Hen’s Egg Hardens
A hen’s egg has a soft shell or
coating until a few hours before it
is laid, when the shell hardens. The
eggs of most animals lower than
birds, as frogs, reptiles, and fishes
are soft even after laying.
FIFTY FAMOUS
FRONTIERSMEN
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON
“Fitz of the Broken Hand”
HISTORY has given to Gen John 1
Fremont the title of “The Path
finder” and made him famous. But it
is strangely silent about the man who
once “found the path’’ for Fremont
and who probably knew more obscure
corners of the Great West than any
other man of his time, not even ex
cepting such worthies as Kit (’arson,
Jedediah Smith and Jim Bridger.
Thomas Fitzpatrick was his name
and he was a young Irishman who
came to this country about 1816 and
Joined the famous Asti ley fur trading
expedition Into the Upper Missouri
country In 1823. The next year he
accompanied Jedediah Smith on the
exploring expedition which discovered
the South Pass through the Rockies.
One of the organizers of the Rocky
Mountain Fur company, he soon be
came “chief of the mountain men” and
was a leader in the dramatic struggle
between rival British and American
companies for supremacy in the fur
trade. After five years Fitzpatrick’s
company sold out to John Jacob Astor,
for he saw the Inevitable decline of
that industry.
But his next occupation added to his
reputation, for in 1841 he led the first
emigrant wagon train to Oregon In
1843 he guided Fremont on his second
expedition to California and back in
1845 he guided Kearney’s dragoons on
their expedition to South Pass, Fort
Laramie and Bent’s Fort, and in the
same year he went with Lieutenant Al
bert on his southwestern survey. The
next year he was again Kearney’s
guide, this time on the famous march
of the dragoons to Santa Fe.
After the war with Mexico was over,
Fitzpatrick was made agent for the
Indians of the Upper Platte and the Ar
kansas. As a trapper and a trader he
had been one of the most skillful In
dian fighters on the plains, but be
cause of that fact “Broken Hand,” as
the Indians called him, had the re
spect of every redskin in the region.
So he made a record as an Indian
agent and exercised a control over
the red men which has never been
equaled, except possibly by that other
Irishman of an earlier day, Sir Wil
liam Johnson, the one white man the
Indians of the East ever trusted.
Fitzpatrick’s crowning achievement
was the great Indian council of 1851
at Fort Laramie at which 10,000 In
dians of all Bribes forgot for a moment
their ancient enmities to smoke the
pipe together because “Broken Hand”
told them to. He died in 1854, a white
haired and broken man at the age of
fifty-five. If he Lad lived a few yjapxs
longer there might hare been fewer
shameful pages in our Indian history.
