Brozil's Dictator Backs Good Neiehbor' Policy

THE spotlight is on Brazil, as the
 census commemorative stamp above shows, and the undeveloped wealth of Brazil's mines, forests and fields is a prize to tempt ag- gressor nations. But Brazilians arc aware of the danger of attack and are quietly strengthening army and navy. Most important, Brazil is whole-heartedly supporting the Good Neighbor" policy of the western hemisphere.
 Brazil Is ruled by a dictator- President Getulio Vargas-but he docs not follow the pattern of Hit- Ter and Mussolini. There is no regimentation, no persecution, no militarism in Brazil. Only political controversies are banned.
 Vargas has unlimited power. Congress has been suspended, DO. litical parties abolished. The pres. ident controls army and navy, de- termines diplomatic, economic and social courses. Censorship governs radio and the press.
 The dictatorship will end, under constitution written in 1887, when the president calls national plebiscitc. But Vargas is benev- olent dictator and Brazil is pros- pering under his guidance.

Program to Defense

Responsibility
on Industry
By EDWARD L. SHEA

President. the North American Company
World events in 1910 have placed
added responsibilities on the elec-
trio light and power industry.
During the year just closed, the
industry has taken on new
nationwide Importance as the
defense program has gathered
momentum. The situation is giving
holding company systems further
opportunity to demonstrate graph
ically their economic vitality and
usefulness-their willingness to
use their financial resources, expe-
rience and trained man power in
the interest of the country at
large.
The year ahead will see even
greater activity. and we enter l94l
with this triple goal:
maintenance OF adequate
facilities to provide for all
emergency demands Of the ma
tiOnal defense program as well
as the normal needs OF business
and home life.
2-Continued efficiency to
overcome the handicaps OF any
increases In operating expenses
and taxes-to- provide the best
service Mt the lowest possible
cost to consumers and, at the
same time, provide the fair re-
turn required to attract neces-
sary additional capital.
3-Constructive steps toward
Qualification and solution. In the
interest of both the public and
the security owners, of problems
involved in practical application
of indignation provisions In the
Holding Company Act.
Demands for electric power in
recent months have broken all
previous records, and still higher
peaks are in prospect However.
advance planning is anticipating
the problem OF increased supply.
Forward building provided suffi-
cient capacity for the last year
with a good safety margin over
the actual peak demand. Construc-
tion recently finished or now
nearing completion will maintain
this safety margin in 1871 despite
the growing use of-power- by
industries working on government
orders. Construction activity,
which in 1910 was the greatest Of
the last 10 years. will be accele-
rated during the coming year for
preparedness against even greater
emergencies in 1912 and 1943.

In Farm Prices

WASHINGTON. Jan. A. Farm
prices have been rising more rap
idly than industrial prices, the
Agricultural Marketing Service
reports.
From mid-November 10 mid
December the index of farm prices
rose another 2 points TO 101 per
cent of the 1904 average. MAX
ing a net gain of 5 points for the
year. At the same time, the mar
0kcting service pointed out that
the index of prices paid by farm
ers for non-agricultural commodi-
ties has been unchanged since
June
As a result of better domestic
demand, farm prices were 4 points
nearer the departments ideal of
parity than they were year ago
despite smaller export markets
The rise of farm prices COM
pared to industrial prices came as
a surprise to many government
officials who have been predicting
that industrial prices would rise
faster and that The farm popula-
ton. therefore. would lose more
than it gained from the defense
spending. This argument has been
used to support a demand for
higher parity payments and for
government action to raise farm
prices
