12 Escanaba, April 19, 1958 DAILY PRESS South Americans Shun Communism, Harnischfeger Says President Walter Harnischfeger of the Harnischfeger reports after a tour of South American nations that the South Americans, by and large, are in favor of free enterprise and do not relish communism. "More frequent and personal contacts with South American businessmen will help to develop a realistic program to expand private investment. Some tax concessions encouraging foreign trade and investment are desirable and more effective than free gifts to attract expanding venture capital. A strong, sound solvent, and prosperous U. S.

internal economy will produce more trade dollars than will free trade. Those of us in business realize trade is 440-WA street. In certain areas we may have to reduce our exports to balance our imports. Giveaway programs should be stopped. Harnischfeger's comment on the countries he visited included: Panama At Cristobal the tourist trade and general activity were on the wane, probably a reflection of the extent to which air travel has become popular.

Business has declined in the Panama Canal Zone during the past year owing to reduction of military personnel, but the readjustment has not affected the area too seriously. Colombia The Colombian economy was temporarily suffering the adversity of a drop in coffee prices. Colombia is rich in resources. Ecuador Ecuador should show an improvement in trade balances in the period ahead. Peru The extremely low standard of living of the Indian needs to be raised gradually.

In the rural areas missionaries are doing an outstanding job of education. There are some radical and subversive activities. At Toquepalla, some 14,000 feet above sea level, we saw Harnischfeger 8-yard shovels with modern hauling equipment performing the miracle of handling 3,200,000 yards of dirt every month with Indian operators. Reserves have not been fully appraised, but indications are that they will suffice for 100 to 200 years of capacity operations. Chile At the vast Anaconda copper operation at Chuquicamata saw a number of Harnischfeger shovels in operation and some competitive machines.

Reserves are of several hundreds years depth. The ore contains up to pet. copper. Our company received an order for eight machines for use in the Maria Elena nitrate area after a year's competitive test. Steel Industry Output Boosted DETROIT P--The Great Lakes iron and steel industry, which accounts for more than one-third the national total, boosted its steelmaking capacity 60 per cent in the past 10 years, says the Great Lakes Commission, Blast furnace capacity increased 32 per cent, the commission added.

Great Lakes blast furnaces had a capacity of 32.9 million net tons, or 36.1 per cent of the nation's total, last January. The gain of 7.9 million tons since 1948 amounted to one-third of the boost in pig iron production capacity for the nation during that period. Expansion in the steelmaking capability of Great Lakes production centers was even more remarkable, the commission said. In the past decade, Great Lakes capacity 17.9 million tons to a total of million tons. rose, This gain amounted 38.4 per cent of the national hike, in steel ingot capacity for the past 10 years, the commission said.

Considering its great age, this is mighty fast old world. Walter Harnischfeger The prices of copper and nitrate are the lowest in many years. trend threatens to wipe out the middle class, leaving only the top strata of society and the masses, a development that would play directly into the hands of the icals. If Chile can overcome its monetary and inflationary crisis, it has every prospect of developing into a strong well-balanced prosperous economy. Argentina Peron era did nothing to The increase cattle production wheat surpluses, with the result that exports and trade balances suffered.

Great need exists for expansion of public utilities and developing hydroelectric. Imports of construction machinery are necessary to achieve this, but import restrictions and obstacles to business difficult. Brazil The volume of coffee shipments is about one-third of that two vears ago, the low wholesale price being a deterrent to production. The government supports the price level similar to American support. In the face of an crop unbalanced budget this adds a substantial load to the economy, in relief of which additional currency is printed to finance the crop.

There is a difference of opinion whether a lower price might not expand the Brazilian coffee ket, particularly in Europe, where African coffee is making heavy inroads, Santos, Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, the wealth producing areas of Brazil, are being drained by a vast undeveloped empire. Brazilians are financing some consumer hard goods with as little as one per cent down This is the reverse of payment. sound financing, which should call for 15 to 20 per cent down. Venezuela U. S.

Steel Co. has developed a large iron ore property at Orinoco which last' year produced 12 million tons of ore (more than twice all the ore from U. P. mines which passed through the Port of Escanaba in 1957). The ore runs as much as 65 per cent iron.

In another mine Bethlehem Steel Co. is producing about 4 million tons. This country is one of the richest of the Latin American nations and destined to grow and prosper.

Maxime Weygand as military commander in 1935. When World War I broke out, Britain and France agreed he was the logical choice for supreme commander. Hitler's armies attacked France May 10, 1940, again through Belgoing around the end of the gium, Maginot Line which Gamelin had counted on to protect the republic. Nine days later the Allied Command was broken and Weygand was called back to relieve Gamelin and recommend capitulation. Adrian Boy Spends Weekends In Jail For Wild Driving ADRIAN.
