(By A. N. Pr

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec S0.-"There is lit
I tie or no employment to be found as
walters. porters, cooks and similar
occupations followed by large num-
bers of our people in the United
States, but there are many positions
In large business concerns open and
waiting for high class men and wom-
en- of color" This statement was made
recently by George Rambo, the Presi-
dent of the Brazilian-American Colon
izing syndicate, in the course of an
address on the general opportunities
Tor Negroes in the Republic of Brazil.
In later interview he declared:
Not only are there good business
openings for live people but there are
splendid opportunities for successful
ventures in the fields of manufactur-
ing, ice, cotton goods. leather articles
and furniture making offer inviting
chances to make money for anyone
who has fair knowledge in these sew
eral directions. This would apply par
ticularly to the large number of towns
and small cities in the interior sec
tions of the Republic"
Most all structural iron. fabricated
metals such as gas and electric fix
turcs are imported into the country
This is also true of tn better grades
OF office and househ0,a furniture.
shoes, clothins. men and women's fur
nisbings in fact ono can include most
or the manufactured necessities in the
list of things that could be made and
sold TO profitable advantage in nearly
every section of this rich country"
The government encourages home
production of necessities by maintain
ing a high protective tariff on all
manufactured imports. The wisdom of
the government. in this connection, is
sustained by the great abundance of
raw materials available ever ywhere
that but awaits the dispositl IN to
turn them into manufactured pro-
ducts, l again emphasize, however,
that the people who go to Brazil must
possess a good working knowledge of
the business and trades they wish to
follow, and they must also acquire a
reasonable acquaintance with the Por-
tugese language which is spoken in.
the country"
But the cultivation of the land"
continued Mr.. Rambo, 'is the shortest
and most practical way to. success
in Brazil You can't miss it If you go
this way. Land is cheap, land is fertile
as 1t is anywhere on the earth. There
Is no place that l know about where
land is as cheap and as good as it is
in Brazil. And there is no end to
crops. You sow and you reap, and you
sow and you reap again. 1t is almost
an endless proposition, this crop mat
ter in Brazil. This makes farming a
profitable investment. Ihe market is
ever ready, both domestic and foreign
for your products and labor effort is
quite neglible question in the in
yestment. Any place in the Brazilian
Republic Will serve the purpose of the
man who desires to enjoy profitable
farm lie, for that is what farming
means in Brazil"
Il am combining myself to a short
presentation of the advantages offer
ed in the. fields of manufacturing and
farming in the Republic of Brazil at
this time. AT some other time l shall
be glad to mske a statement regard
Ing the mineral wealth of the coua-
try and the profits that can be realiz-
ed in cattle and general live stock
raising"
Mr.. Rambo will be in the United
States for several months. He is ac-
lively engaged in presenting the
claims of Brazil as a desirable place
for ambitious Colored people to settle
in. He is meeting with considerable
success in this connection
