sal for Brazil OF the list or the 18th
OF April. Will be absent from the United
States for period of two months or
less, and will be able to spend about
thirty days in Brazil. 1t is believed
that this is not too much time to
spend in studying conditions in that
immense country. 1t is possible thai
the Brazil and Argentine parties will
leave the United States and return
upon the same boat.

during the month of April. All de-

covered in the down trip on the west

in making the trip from the Colombian
coast to Bogeta the larger trip would
he prohibitive on account of the time
required.
1T may be necessary to request the
ase Of government boats to cover GER
tain features of the West Indian and
the Venezuela Colomb trips. 1t is
found that the regular transportation
available is not entirely dependable.
1T is reasonably certain that q salts
factory personnel can be secured for
the parties not yet organized. The or
ganization of the Central American
party was peculiarly difficult because
Of An apparent overshadow of Cen
trail America attractions by the more
generally advertised attractions Of
Brazil and Argentina II was also
found that business men generally
were not disposed to take the return
visit idea at all seriously. They APP
peared unable to realize that substau-
'ial business benefit would result from
return of courtesy.
