j. S. FIRST POWER
TO ACCEPT BRAZIL
Formal Recognition Is Given
Regime Of Provisional
President. Vargas.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
First Of the major world powers TO
recognize the new provisional govern
ment of Brazil. the United States for
mally acknowledged yesterday the adj
ministration Of provisional President
0etuilo Vargas TO be the controlling
political factor In that country.
Recognition by the United States Of
the new Brazilian regime was an
nounced by Secretary Stimson after Q
conference with President Hoover and
upon receiving from Ambassador Nor
gan at Rio de Janeiro q report upon
the entire question Of recognition. In
addition the Brazilian administration
had made . formal request for such
action.
The recognition was accorded Is days
after the government Of former Presi-
dent washington Luis had been over
thrown by q coup d'etat, which ended
widespread revolutionary activities.
Recognition Delayed.
Secretary Stimson made his an
nouncement Of recognition In q formal
statement
Unlike the immediate recognition OF
new regimes recently in Argentina,
Peru and Bolivia, the formal announce
ment was delayed pending the receipt
of the report from Ambassador Morgan
as to the exact status OF the new
Brazilian administration.
State Department officials had raised
the question whether the new admin
istration was q successor to the govern
ment of President washington Luis or
an axafirAlv nAw GOvernunank Tn the
former case no re-recognition would
have been necessary.
The day before the unseating of Luis,
the United States had placed an en-
barge on arms to the rebels. The
rebel coup d'etat came as q considerable
surprise to the State Department. The
fact that 1t had just forbidden the sale
of arms to those who came in power
caused the American Government to
approach the question Of recognition
cautiously and to await some move of
the Brazilian regime itself.
Credentials 70 Stand.
The instructions to Ambassador Nor
gan to extend formal recognition to the
provisional government were in the
usual diplomatic terms and were SINH
lar to those usually sent to ambassadors
abroad on such oc0Bions.
It will not be uecessary, State De-
partment oficia1s said, for Morgan to
present new credentials at Rio de
Janeiro or for the Brazilian envoy In
Washington to present new credentials
to the President, unless, as Is the CASE
with the new ambassadors, new ap-
pointee Is sent In place Of Brazilian
Ambassador Do Amaral.

U. S. HAS FAVORABLE
FOREIGN TRADE BALANCE

DS vic ASSOEAAt&u ETeSS.
While the volume Of foreign trade OF
the United States for the first 10 months
or this year presents an unfavorable
comparison In contrast with the same
period OF last year, an analysis of these
figures discloses several favorable fac
tors.
The gross trade for the calendar
year up to November / amounted to
$5,92S, 135, ,4S5, a decrease of about az
per cent as compared with total trade
of the same 20 months last year. But
the favorble balance of trade for this
period amounted TO s629, ,735. .4S5 for
1880. as compared with but $62l, ,l0e, $50
for 1929.
Exports from the United States for
1890 were 124 per cent of imports, while
last year they were but lit per cent.
For the latest reporting month. Oc-
tober, exports were 1872 per cent Of the
imports, while for the same month last
year they were 1SS per cent.
Statistics dealing with the Soviet
Russia present an interesting picture
of the cultivation of this relatively new
market with gross trade increasing
approximately $35 1000, 900 for the 10
months this year, as compared with
last The favorable trade balance for
1880 is $66.970, $50, as against $43,6is.-
l44 for the corresponding period of
1929. The major portion of this gain
can be traced TO the SovietS PURCHASES

exchange standard and SO are no longer
buyers of silver.
Unquestionably, the present low price
OF silver-showing drop of nearly 80
per cent in IL months-is regarded by
many economists as well as bankers as
one of the major causes of the present
world depression. For every drop in
silver means a curtailment in purchas-
ing power on the part of billion peo-
pie.
Bus Business.
The Greyhound Bus lines, the out
standing motor bus system in the
United States, have carried 22, 900 900
Americans more than 125, 900 900 motor
miles during 1880.
-Four years ago. the company began
operations on 800 miles of route, which
touched only few major cities. Today
this company completely covers the
United States with a network of over
10000 miles of routes. stretching from
the Atlantic to the Pacific and from
North Dakota to the Gulf of Mexico.
What has caused tnfs tremendous
growth? I would say that good paved
roads and cheaper transportation are at
the foundation of the growth. Then,
the modern buSSes are comfortably up
holstered, well ventilated, and the routes
work on definite time schedule.
Perhaps the great expansion in this
field can all be summed up in two
words-ef1cient management.
Cotton Acreage.

Because OF the expense involved in cut

dozen outstanding numbers.
Buyers registered in the New York
market during the past week showed an
increase over the number listed for the

number reported for the same period
last year, according to lists published in
the New York Times. For the last
week 5S5 buyers were listed, as against
432 in the preceding week and sos in
the corresponding week a year ago.
Arrivals of buyers yesterday totaled 1888,
compared with 286 reporting on the
same day last week.
The early Christmas buying of mems
apparel that has appeared has revealed

pensive furnishings and novelties, the
executive for a large mems wear chain
