because it retarded development of natural resources here along with agricultural development in Ar- gentina whose pastoral plains have been feeding Europe prime beef and mutton along with wheat and corn for many years
 This carp if it can so be called. is termed the blassing and assets of Brazil in that 1t has kept the coun- try for the development Of the elec- tric age. The great inclined plain which commences at the top Of the Sierra do Mar and descends almost to sea level in the interior affords one of the worlds greatest water power and consequent possibly hydro-electric developments.
 Tn some cases the rivers of this great plain parallel the top of the range and break through the barrier directly into the ocean. as in the power developments of Rio de Ja- neiro and Sac Paulo. The poten- tial powers Of these Brazilian rivers which may be harnessed for the benefit Of man seems astounding.
 In the state of Parana alone exist the falls of the Parana known as the Siete Quedas fSeven Falls) on which the lowest estimate is a pos sible e0.00o.o00 horsepower. while the highest ranges from 5o.000,0o0 to 70.000.000. The Iguassy river offers for mans harnessing the falls Of Santa Maria da Iguassu which Is 10 feet higher than Niagara Falls and discharges more water. Rea- sonable estimates are .50, 900 horse power for these falls.

as captain of vessel. My answer is that I do comparatively little when the whole job is considered. A ship is very much like big building that houses large business organization of several hundred men. Unless that organization functions smoothly and has men of ability in the ranks, it is doomed as q con- Ihercial failure,
 A vessel is no different. The cap tain is indeed like the president of a big corporation. He cannot super wise the work of everyone in the or ganiZation so he deals directly with the heads of the departments. One of my rules is to keep every one busy while on watch and to create the impression that certain amount of work must be done in given time. This work must be done in ship shape order and in seaman like manner. Every man must be an example for the next on watch so that the master is surrounded by executives capable of doing things properly. So when l say l did con- paratively little as my share Of a rescue job l mean that every man on the ship has a duty to perform and we all assist one another.
 It is not often that l come in di- rect contact with many of the men employed on my ship, with the pos sble exception of those engaged in duties on the bridge. The safe navi- gation of the vessel depends upon the men in this department, yet, strange to say, one of the laziest men l believe l have ever encoun- tered was a q1lartermaster on one of my ships. At the particular time l happened to see him at work he did not have enough energy to turn the wheel and keep the ship on the pre- scribed course. He had no excuse 10 offer me for his laXity except that he was too tired And I knew of no reason 10 be tired when the watch was four hours on and eight off. This man, new at the business of being a quartermaster, was of course disrated, for We have no place on ship board for lazy man.

 Outside of the rubber development in Brazil years ago in the Amazon
 valley the remainder of this rich land has been held back by natural obstacles during the time prior to the electric age. With electricity Brazil larger and with a greater population than any other country ! in South America. promises to step forward rapidly in the next decade
 and thereafter.
 | During the more than three cen-
 turies since Europeans first came to
 the east coast of South America, Brazil has been backward in de- velopment because Of natural [ barrier-the Sierra do Mar-that range of mountains which starts where Brazil bulges out farthest into 1 the Atlantic at Pernambuco and ex- tends c4 degrees of latitude to Rio Grande du Sul.

have the same opportunities to ad. vance. However. at the end of al- most every voyage of transatlantic liner several men are discharged for incompetency. Some leave for other rasons. so there Is a constant weed ing out and replacement process 10 keep a crew up to the maximum of efficiency. These changes are in the hands of the department heads and are seldom brought to the attention of the captain.
 Every ship has three departments
 -the deck, engineering and steward departments. Modern day machinery has become so complicated that the chief engineer now has as many re- responsibilities as the master. In the deck department rests the respon- abilities for the safe navigation of the vessel. for it's safety equipment. and the radio room. where opera tors are constantly on watch while at sea. They are responsible also for the radio compass and are called on to work this instrument in conjunc- tion with the calculations of officers on the bridge. The largest group, from the standpoint of personnel. is the stewards department. which is responsible for the feeding and gen. eral comfort and welfare of the voy- agers. The purser's department is headed by the purser and his assist ant, who act as paymasters and do all the clerical work.

Asserting that American bankers
have 30 billion dollars invested in

amount il increasing ut tho rate Of

Bishop said peace and world har-
mony rather than arms are the best
protection for them.
Il have watched the statesmen Of
