EUROPEANS FLOCK
TO AMAZON VALLEY
Capitalist, Engineers and Importers
Seek Trade Openings.
Para, Mouth of Amazon Kivcr.?
The industrial development of the
Amazon valley is attracting- the attention
of European countries,
British, German, Italian, Norwegian
Swedish and Dutch capitalists,
engineers and importers arc making
investigations of the mineral and
forest resources of the valley 01have
obtained concessions to establish
industries here. So far American
participation in this development
work is conspicuous by its absence.
English engineers are up river at
the present time investigating the
possibilities of vegetable oils;
English experts are here studying
the practicability of extracting
starch and industrial alcohol from the
root of mandioca; an English
engineer has returned to this city
from Iquitos for further equipment
with which to extend the examination
he is making in the mineral area of
the Peruvian Amazon on behalf of a
British syndicate.
The Italian syndicate which has
been operating a small experimental
vegetable oil factory at the town <>i
Cameta, on the Tocantins river, about
100 miles from Paris has applied for
a conec sion to open a large factory
in, Para for the extraction of
lubricating, illuminating and edible
oils from the nuts of palms and trees
which abound in the forests. A
similar concession lias been given to
a group of local capitalists for the
establishment of oil factories im j
certain municipalities throughout the
State.
Concessions
Concessions have been granted re
cently by the State Congress for
various factories to manufacture
glass, hammocks and thread, salt and
its products, paper of all grades,
rubber goods, vegetable dyes and
ink and buttons from vegetable ivory
nut. These so-called "concessions"
are not to be confounded with the
exclusive monopolies so popular in
other Latin American countries
which in the past have proved to be
a hamper instead of an aid to industrial
development. In Brazil a
"concession" to establish a factory or
industry is more in the nature of a
"charter" with, in some cases, special
tax exemptions for a number of
years, or privileges in the matter of"
import dues on machinery and equipment.
The Alsatian Plantations Company,
a German syndicate, has reopened its
plantation near Para, which was aban
doncd when Brazil entered the war on
the side of the allies. This company
has 200,000 banana trees and 100,000
abacaxis (pineapples) under cultivation.
Bananas thrive exceptionally
well in this region, they are subject
tr none of the " cases prevalent in
other banana growing onirics, and
owing to the extraordinarily even
climate of Para require little attention
when growing. The Para and
Amazonas .bananas are >-aid In bo tho
best Brazil products, and are in great
demand in Bio and, Buenos Aires;
they are said to stand shipment unusually
well.
Norwegians are operating a large
aiw mill on the Uha das Oncas, an island
in the Guarjara river opposite
to the city of Para. Although there
are immense forests full of woods of
many varieties, some of them of the
greatest commercial value, it is
surprising how few first-class sawmills
there are in the region, and
there are none which might be said
to compare in efficiency with those
01 our own northwest.
No Large Railways
{Owing to the maze of waterways
which covers the entire surface of the
valley, there can never be any large
railroads paralleling the maine Amazon

fore be constructed to act as "feeders"
only to the main river and its principal
affluents opening up the interior |
back of the river banks. Concessions
have recently been granted by the
State congress for various short lines
one of which is intended to link the
Amazon, from the town of Macapa
near its mouth with the O.vapock
river which separates Brazil from
French Guiana. This line will open up i
vast areas suitable for cattle-raising,
is also gold-bearing lands which were j
abandoned when the French ceded the I
northern part of the State of Para to
Hiazil 20 yeai* ago.
Another line is to be constructed
between the town of Obidos, 600 miles
up river, and Dutch Guiana. A line s
under construction on the bank of the
Tocantins river from the first rapids,
at Alcobaca, to the navigable water
of the upper river, and about 90 miles
of the lower end is now practically
completed. Other railroad concessions
are under discussion in the Chamber
of Deputies as also sundry motor
roads from the banks of some of the
rivers to interior centers of population.
It is rumored that the Praganca
railroad is about to be sold by the
State of Para to an English syndicate
which is said to be backed by the
banking firm of Rothschild & Co. The
charter of this railroad provides for
