Brazil REALIZES
INDUSTRIAL NEED
Provisional President Vargas
Turns Attention to Eco
nomlc Sterilization.

ny the Associated Press.
RIO DE JANEIRO. November IT.
The military government Of Brazil, with
political issues settled by the recent
revolution, is turning its attention now
to economic sterilization of the nation,
Getulio Vargas, the provisional Presi-
dent, yesterday told the Associated
Press.
"The immediate motives of the revo-
luton" he said. were political, but the
reconstruction work which we ALREADY
have set afoot will have sound and far
reaching social and economic conse-
Quences."
Monopoly Resulted in Support.
''The uneuuivocal support given the
revolution by the leaSt-favored classes
Of our people is ample proof of the dis
content generated by the political oI~
ganization which has been overthroWn.
"That regime had given monopollstlc
privileges to certain social classes 10
detriment of interests OF the nation as
a whole. It was largely because OF this
that the revolution received support OF
those whose rights had been ignored.
"The government which has been
overthrown abused the electoral sys-
tenn; it made the judiciary an instru-
ment for. satisfaction of political pas
sions so that people were without
weapons against violence and sought re-
course to armed resistance to invasion
of their rights"
To the economic problems which con-
front him, Gen. Vargas also has given
sober thought.
Industrial Development Needed.
"This revolution" he said, was ma
tionalist in character. 1t was not di-
rected against foreigners in Brazil, but
it had as one of its prime objectives
stimulation of national industry and
development of national resources.
"Up to now Brazil,s economic policies
have been occupied almost exclusively
with production of coffee. In years
which brought poor coffee crops or low
coffee prices the nation had no Other
resource to which it could look for sup
port.
"Our country must cast about fol
such resources and develop those which
are at hand. In the interests of oul
commercial future we must depend M
longer upon coffee to the exclusion o.
everything else. We must be self
contained, self-suffcient, efficient ma
ton"
