Made by famed filmmaker Julien Bryan for the U.S. Government, ROADS SOUTH explores transportation in Latin America in the 1940s. In doing so it explains how topography affects transport and how the difficulties of transportation are dealt with throughout history. Part history lesson, part geography lesson and part loving tribute, this vintage black and white film shows old and "new" 1940s transportation systems exist side by side. The seaplane and sailboat ride the same water. Dug out canoes ply the rivers and lands whose harbors welcome great steamers. Electric trains and steam railroads operate high in the mountains.<p><p>At the 4:29 mark, the SS Brazil is seen. SS Brazil was a US turbo-electric ocean liner.

President Franklin Roosevelt's address to the American citizens on Brotherhood Day from the White House in Washington DC. President Franklin Roosevelt sits by a fireplace in the White House with his wife Eleanor Roosevelt and mother Sara Roosevelt. The President speaks to the citizens of America on a Sabbath Day which is observed as Brotherhood Day. He says the National Conference of Jews and Christians has set this day for the citizens to meet as believing Americans and not as Protestants or Catholics or Jews. And it is on this day that they can dedicate themselves to the things that unite them and not to the things that divide them. He says that even though there are differences in religious beliefs in the citizens of different parts of the country they must learn to respect those differences. America is a product of no single class, creed or race. All citizens have gained much from their forefathers who had come to the country from different parts bringing different beliefs that enriched their life. The religious issue is not between the various beliefs, but between belief and unbelief. This is the time for a religious understanding. The United States is still in the making. Its completion requires the same qualities of faith in God and man. It should be possible for them to melt social, political or economic problems of the citizens on an occasion like this through a spiritual awakening as Brotherhood Day is an experiment in understanding, a venture in neighborliness. Location: Washington DC USA. Date: February 23, 1936.

William Greaves - What about the implications for the future? I mean, not for the future. But for the for international implications. Are there any international implications? I mean, for this whole movement toward a hardening of position. Claude Brown I think that definitely is one major, or perhaps even more, but there's one that I'm aware of major reference to the international world. And this is in relationship to America. And this is that, you know, once I think that we can really start something here, black Americans, if we begin to get sassy, the whole world will say look at look at what the minority is doing to that giant in that country. And then Latin America will be hard to handle. And then Asia will be hard to handle. And then Africa will be hard to handle. And pretty soon America won't look so big man being attacked from all corners of the world. And within two. Richard Moore there is one phase of the international situation, which gives some hope it is that there was an intervention against Hitlerism. And there if we do have to go through a similar phase in America, I believe there will be an intervention which would be helpful to the effort.
