Post War Expansion Seen
In South American Trade
Non-Competitive
Economy Possible,
Farm Expert Says
BY JESSIE FAINT EVANS,

Charles J. Brand, internationally
known agricultural economist and
plantfood specialist, has Just re-
turned from 15,000- mile plane trip
to Brazil. Argentina, Chile and Peru
with strong belief that mutually
advantageous agricultural and in
duStrial relationships can be de-
veloped with our South American
neighbors.
"These relationships cam best be
developed" he says, by working out
a non-competitive economy that will
take advantage of Complementary
rather than conflicting interests be-
tween the two great continents Of
the Western Hemisphere"
Mr.. Brand is executive secretary
and treasurer of the National Fer
tilizer Association, with headquar-
ters in Washington, and speaks as
business executive as well as an
economist and a scientist. He is
confident that business possibilities
Of a complementary type are far
greater than are generally realized.
Pan-American planning for the
postwar period should be based
largely upon proverbial American
common-SenSe methods of fair play
based upon proven business prin-
ciples. rather than too much upon
theoretical, idealistic procedures.
without a foundation of sound
business in conjunction with prac-
tical idealism," he warns, inevitable
disappointments aid even business
collapse may result on both sides in
all too many instances"
Mission Economic and Scientific.
The purpose Of Mr.. Brands trip
to South America was a combined
economic and scientific one, coupled
with an interesting academic mis-
sion. At the invitation of Rodolfo
Michels, Chilean Ambassador to the
United States, he went as a dele
gate from his association to the
postponed South American Congress
Of Chemistry in Santiago, Chile.
On behalf of George Washington
University and its president, DR..
Cloyd Heck Marvin, and the Uni
versity of Minnesota and tis presi-
dent, DR.. w. C. Coffey, Mr.. Brand
extended greetings to the University
of Chile, of which DR.. Juvenal Her.
nandez is president, on the celebra-
tion of its Tooth anniversary. He
also carried greetings to Msgr. Car
los Casanueva, rector of the Cath
ohc University of Chile.
Asked to enlarge on his ideas in
connection with a non-competitive
trade economy between the Amer
icas, Mr.. Brand said: The sensible
thing as to our South American
neighbors is for the United States
to draw upon them for the things
they can produce and we cannot.
We, on the other hand, can furnish

Two notifications in the domestic
wool marketing program created
some excitement and confusion here
during the week. Dealers interpreted
the elimination of l9 States from the
Government marketing plan as ia
voring growers in that region over
those who are consigning their
woods to the Commodity Credit

clips.
Mills are taking woods fast to

wool is reported, but recent large
imports were generally bought by
mills en- route. The distribution of
wool to mills for the present is active
