Pre-War trade routes with a
postwar destiny

Before war struck, Moore McC ormack Lines
were operating steamship services over trade
routes of international importance linking
both coasts of the United States with Brazil,
Uruguay and Argentina furnishing the only
regular American flag service to Norway,t
Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Finland and
Russia-and associating in the operation of
Russian-fag service to the European ports
of the Soviet Union from Atlantic ports and
to Russia in Asia, from Pacific ports.
With the advent of war, Moore-McCor-
mack became an integral part of the War
Shipping Administration, devoting its entire
energies to working for Victory. Its ships
have been sent wherever the engencies of
conflict demanded. Its officers and crews are
seeing duty all over the world Its shore or!
CARNATIONS have been at the command of
United Nations authorities. But through
all this, Moore McC ormack has never.
lost sight of the destiny which awaits its
established trade routes after the war Each
of them will fill an important role in restor-
ing peace and prosperity to the world, and
we are planning now to be ready to render
the services that will be expected of us.
Obviously, South America stands on the
threshold of great new era of development.
Already great forces are at work in that
mighty treasure house of natural resources
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1944-01-09

"a new spirit is stirring the people of our
sister continent. Thousands of United States
citizens will wish to visit their great neighbors
below the Southern Cross once travel facii-
ties are restored. Thousands of our South
American friends will wish to come to see US.
Our industries will need South American
materials. South American expansion will
create wide markets for our manufacturers.
Shipping is the great implement which will
make these possibilities become realities We
must be ready.
simultaneously, Euope's requirements
will be tremendous. Already predictions of
enormouspost-warex expenditures by theSoviet
Union have come from important sources.
The other lands of northern Europe will like
wise require great quantities of supplies and
equipment to restore their commercial status.
To keep this flow of goods moving, American
ships, backed by organizations awake to the
mighty task, must be ready.
So it is that Moore-McC ormack Lines
call the publics attention to these pre-war
trade routes and to the shipping services
which covered them. For the postwar des-
tiny of these routes is mighty indeed, and
the responsibilities that lie ahead are most
important.
To their fulfillment we are now giving our
best thoughts. We mean to be ready!
