NOIIn America OF VlSlLeQ III L dClIlC OOdSI uIIy
years ago probably thought the city of the Pa
cfic would be either San Francisco, Portland
or Seattle. Those places were splendid seaport cities and
great railroad centers before most of those who then
studied maps or travelled knew there was such a place as
Los Angeles.
Advantages of location and climate have, how
ever, within less than fifty years made Los Angeles larg-
er than San Francisco, Portland and Seattle combined
and has made it permanently the city of the Pacific.
Most of those who now casually study the map Of
North America or travel on the Gulf Coast may think that
either New Orleans, Houston or Mobile will be the city
Of the Gulf; but if they should think 30 they will be just as
wrong as were those who fifty years ago thought that
San Francisco, Portland or Seattle would be the city Of
the Pacific.
Because of advantages of location and climate,
other generations will see within the next fifty years a
city and metropolitan district covering the Gulf Coast
section Of the border line of Texas and Mexico which will
be larger than New Orleans, Houston and Mobile COM
bined.
This international city and metropolitan district of
both Texas and Mexico will long before that time become
permanently the city of the Gulf.
This city of the Gulf and Its metropolitan district
will be on the natural pathway and will become the nat
ural permanent gateway, to and from North, Central and
South America.
This natural pathway around the Gulf of Mexico to
and from North, Central and South America will, long be-
fore fifty years from now, become the greatest natural
pathway Of the Western Hemisphere.
Hard surface, all weather roads will, long before
that time, also connect practically all portions of North
America from Alaska, Canada and the United States to
the Argentine, Brazil and Chile.
What modern science has done during the last half
century in improving health and living conditions for the
Panama Canal zone, will be repeated during the next
fifty years in many sections of the countries south of the
Rio Grande.
This, combined with modern air conditioning for
residences, office buildings, stores, hotels, tourist camps,
theatres, factories and other buildings, will make a won
derful development in many of the Latin American
countries during the next half century.
This development will make portions of the tropics
as desirable, healthy and comfortable to live in and to do
business in as in other portions of the world.
