WORLD RELIEF:
Sharing Burden

Assuming the honorary chairman
ship of the governments emergency
famine committee, former Pres.
Herbert Hoover called upon South
American nations to join with their
Big Brother of the north in con-
serving cereals for feeding of the
hungry in war stricken Europe and
Asia.
Prior to leaving for a frst-hand
survey of overseas conditions,
Hoover told a news conference that
he believed both North and South
America could save upwards of Z
million tons of cereals during the
next 120 days to help fill a need for
about 9 million tons. The years re-
quirements will total 81 million tons,
he said, but only IL million tons
will be available without the under
taking of broad conservation meas
ures.
Of the total of Z million tons that
the western hemisphere could fur
nish within the next four months,
South America could contribute 3
million tons, Hoover said. This
amount could be made available by
cutting down purchases of foreign
goods requiring payment in grain;
reducing consumption, and turning
over all SURPRISES to famine threat
ened areas.

Guatemala has a good road from
border to border, but Mexico has 1877
miles to finish; Honduras, 60; Ell SAL
vador 20, and Panama, 100. Completion
of these stretches will give an all
weather highway from the United States
border to Panama City, a distance of
$3.50 miles.
Engineers believe it will be several
years before Panama City is linked with
Colombia-a distance of 200 miles
through wild jungles, much Of which
has not even been surveyed
Venezuela, although not on the main
north-south artery, has a leg reaching
from Colombia to the ports of Ell Palito
and La Guaira Although long sections
of the highway are uncompleted, buses
and trucks are making the 7oO-mile run
between Caracas and Bogota.
Colombia has 1923 miles Of Pan
American highway and 1,069 between
Venezuela and Ecuador are all-weather
construction.
Ecuador has 739 miles of Pan Ameri-
can highway with 125 miles under con-
struction and 49 yet to be started. Eco
nomic reasons have speeded construction
Of the highway in Peru which has no
north-south railroad. The nation has
2,12S miles Of highway passable in all
seasons. with feeder roads reaching into
the Andes.
About half of Chiles highway Is good
and the remainder is passable the year
round. The northern part is through
desert and although not paved 1t is
usable. From Valparaiso and Santiago,
the road turns sharply east to cross the
now-covered Andes
Brazil Hopes for Road
Completion Next Year
Argentina's other legs of the highway
reach 1926 miles to Bolivia, 936 miles to
Paraguay and 705 miles to Brazil. From
Buenos Aires the main route swings
north to Rio de Janeiro, distance of
1887 miles by the way of Montevideo,
Uruguay. Brazil hopes to have her 1,705
miles of Pan American highway COM
pleted next year.
Although Punta Arenas, Chile, on the
straits of Magellan. the southern n-most
city in the world, is not on the Pan
American highway, it is connected with
Buenos Aires by an an-weather high
way.
Engineers estimate that it will take
two and one-half years to complete the
highway, and the cost will approximate
$25 100000. When construction is fin
ished the intrepid tourist will be able to
drive from Fairbanks, Alaska, over the
trans-Canadian and Pan American high
ways to Buenos Aires, distance of A.
479 miles.
