MEXICO AND THE VALLEY

The part that Mexico can and will play in the commercial and in
dustrial development Of Brownsville and the entire Lower Rio Grande
Valley in the event the Brownsville ship channel and port project is COM
pleted is obvious. Brownsville, through which the flow of Mexican ex-
ports and imports now is almost negligible, will become the logical
gateway for the most productive area in the southern republic, a n area
which extends from Tampico and Salillo to the RioG rande and from
the Gulf to the western borders Of the state of Chihuahua. No section
of Mexico is richer in natural resources. The rich mineral regions OF
Nuevo Leon and chihuahua, now undeveloped, are merely awaiting the
outlet the Brownsville port would offer to start their stream Of ores 10
tidewater. The agricultural and grazing sections Of Tamauipas and
western Nuevo Leon are also looking to the port for their outlet to the
Neither Tampico. Vera Cruz, Corpus Christi nor the ports on the Mex
lean Pacific coast can compete with Brownsville in connection with this
tonnage. Surrounded by ranges of mountains, the route to tdewater at
Brownsville offers the only outlet which would assure a combined rail
and water rate which would make profitable the handling of the i'm
mense tonnage this area can produce.
For almost three-fourths of a century Brownsville residents have
vsioned this city a IS the gateway to northern and eastern Mexico.
There was a time when water transportation gave Brownsville an adj
vantage over the more inland gateways, but such advantage IS it had
was eliminated years ago, and the flow of Mexican imports and eX-
ports, which are increasing rapidly, was directed to the more inland
gateways.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-12-17
NEW MARKETS ASSURED

Brownsyiles opportunity to serve as the gateway for the richest
sections of Mexico lies in the completion of a port which not only will
provide an outlet for Mexican mineral and agricultural products but
which also will assure low freight rates on Mexican imports. Devel-
opment of that port will assure development of the Mexican tonnage.
and in addition will open new markets for Valley products and create
new wealth in al area which is distinctly within the trade territory Of
this border gateway.
Mexico is destined to loom large in the future development Of
Brownsville al a commercial and industrial center. in the event water
transportation is provided; and the part the southern republic will play
this development will be in direct ratio to the facilities offered for the
handling Of Mexican tonnage and the cooperation Brownsville and the
Valley extend.
The new spirit which pervsdes the southern republic, the onward
march of education and progress, the rapid development of natural
resources, indicate that in the not far distant future Mexico will take
her place among the weathiest of the smaller nations. Foreign capital
is flowing into the country in unprecedented volume; the government
is more secure than at any time in the history of the republic; and the
momentum already attained in development Of the country's resources
may be taken rs an index to the rapid progress that will be made in
the coming decade.
Brownsville has the opportunity to become the receiving and. dis
tributing center for the richest areas of Mexico, but Brownsvlles vision
Of profit through Mexican development cannot materiaize unless ade-
Quate transportation facilities are provided.

South Of the Rio Grande, due to the rapid sterilization of
the Mexican government, development is progressing at
a pace never attained heretofore. Due to the excellent
work of Ambassador Morrow, the broader view of the
Mexican government, and the education of the Mexican
public, the old an~tipathies and p~rejudices against the
United States and the American people are rapidly disap-
pearing, and the discords and suspicious of a century have
given way to an era of better understanding, cooperation
and closer commercial and financial relations.
