5. TRADING TO SPAIN AND PORTUGAL 1670–1700.

INTERNATIONAL trade ,TEXTILE industry ,RAW materials - Abstract
It is now well recognized that in the century before 1670 English traders to the Mediterranean enjoyed remarkable success selling increasing quantities of textiles, with a growing proportion completely finished, downgrading Turkey and Italy to the position of raw material suppliers, and taking over a large part of the Mediterranean carrying trade. It is also clear that after 1700 it was the Mediterranean trade, especially that with Spain and Portugal, which redeemed England's very modest trading performance with Europe. The chief interest of the activities of businessman John Oldbury and his group of business associates is that they date from the generation, which separates these two periods and therefore shed some light on the main commodity trades in Anglo-Iberian commerce in the last thirty years of the seventeenth century. Spain and Portugal were two agricultural countries ruling large colonial empires, and yet lacking sufficient manufacturing capacity even to begin to meet metropolitan demands. The success of English textiles in the area is to be accounted for by the virtually total default of indigenous industry. All English exports were of central, if not crucial, importance to the receiving economies and their dependent colonies, and it was this basic fact, which underlay England's dominant position. Iberian trade to England, on the other hand, was not equally indispensable.

7. THE ROLE OF MONOPOLY IN THE OVERSEAS EXPANSION AND COLONIAL TRADE OF EUROPE BEFORE 1800.

MERCANTILE system ,MONOPOLIES ,DISABILITY retirement ,INTERNATIONAL trade ,ARCHIVES ,COLONIES ,EARTHQUAKES ,NAUTICAL astronomy ,COMMERCE - Abstract
Most writers on mercantilism have neglected Portugal, and its colonial policy has attracted surprisingly little research. The destruction of a large mass of colonial papers in the Torte do Tombo Archives by the earthquake and ensuing fire on November 1, 1755, and the silence of the early chroniclers on such prosaic matters as trade and navigation have deterred many scholars interested in the Portuguese colonial system and seriously handicapped those who have persevered. Consequently, inadequate knowledge may explain the tendency to dismiss the Portuguese empire with the derogatory conclusions that it consisted only of a chain of forts and trading stations, developed no new institutions, set no important precedents, and made no significant contributions to colonial theory. Although precise information and many details are lacking, it is known that Portugal discovered the all-water route to the East Indies, established the first contacts with the natives, forged a colossal empire, exclusively controlled the East India trade for almost a century, solved a host of problems before any rival appeared on the scene, and smoothed the paths of Holland, England, and France to trade and empire in the East.

WOODEN ships ,COPPER ,SHEATHING (Building materials) ,BARNACLES ,EIGHTEENTH century - Abstract
This article discusses the use of copper sheathing to protect the hulls of wooden ships from the ravages of the worm and the encrustations of weeds and barnacles in the eighteenth century. Though there are a few references to instances of sheathing with copper or its alloys before the middle of the eighteenth century, the overwhelming mass of references to sheathing up to that time are to sheathing with wood, a doubling of the outside planking of the ship below the waterline. The limited efficiency of wooden sheathing made it inevitable that other materials would be tried. Lead sheathing appears to have been known to the Romans, and was revived in the sixteenth century in Spain and Portugal, and used experimentally by this country on at least one occasion. Most works on the subject state that the first beginnings of copper sheathing date from the 1760's, but as early as 1708 the Navy was being approached by Charles Parry and others who had recently applied for a patent for sheathing ships with copper which without any hindrance to their sailing, will preserve them from worms and barnacles in their voyages to the East and West Indies, and prevent all occasions of covering and repairing them.

It further cites the assurance of military junta to abolish eliminate the hated secret police and grant full civil liberties in the country.

ELECTIONS ,DICTATORS ,EXECUTIVE power ,APATHY ,PORTUGUESE people ,PORTUGUESE politics & government - Abstract
The comment being made by many Portuguese on the re-election of 70-year-old Admiral Americo Tomas on July 25 for a new seven-year term of office as President was that his insistence on remaining in power could spring only from the naval tradition whereby the captain is expected to go down with his ship. Yet the tranquil facade of Portugal this past summer was such that the casual visitor could hardly have grasped the reasons for this sense of doom. The apathy of the Portuguese was partly caused by the re-election itself. When one reflects on the race between the various forces that make up Portuguese politics, fascism, capitalism, white separatism, racial supremacy on the one hand, and those of radicalism, African nationalism, liberalism, communism on the other, one wonders how long a regime embodied in a 76-year-old dictator can last.

On March 24, 1962, U.S. Senator Albert Gore made a speech in Middlebury, Vermont., that caused foreign lobbyists raise the fundamental question of how much of America's foreign policy is really being made by the people of the U.S. And how much is the result of foreign brainwashing, foreign pressure and even outright purchase. The Senator, speaking of the situation in Portuguese colonies under the dictatorship of Antonio de Oliveira Salazar, had made the seemingly mild and commonsense recommendation that the United States should re-examine its aid to Portugal to make certain it was not used to kill, punish or intimidate Africans.

KINGS & rulers -- Assassination ,MURDER ,ANARCHISTS ,PORTUGUESE politics & government - Abstract
The article discusses the Portuguese political crisis. Who the men were that shot down the Portuguese monarch and his elder son in the capital city of Lisbon on Saturday is not yet clearly known. That the murder was a political act, there can be little doubt. The first impulse to throw the responsibility on aliens, or anarchists, is comprehensible enough in the state of public mind induced by so horrible a tragedy. But the latest news, the formation of a new cabinet, shows that the events preceding it have been accepted as a political protest that must not pass unheeded.

The article presents information related to social and political issues of the world. A painful feature of news from Portugal is the wholesale expulsion of monks and nuns. That a strong anti-clerical feeling had long existed in the country was well known. Even the Ministry of King had its recent clash with the Vatican. It is comforting to hear that the rising generation of French-men cannot write their native tongue decently. One had supposed that slovenly writing was confined to people in the U.S. and in an offhand way had attributed it to the great influx of broken English to its shores. But the defect is apparently much more widespread and its cause lies deeper down.

This article presents information related to political developments in the several countries. The U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt has at last declared himself against the use of Federal offices to control political committees and pack political conventions. Past occurrences, however, are of less importance than future policy. It is not necessary to connect the capture of the English Labor party by the Socialists with the rioting at the workmen in Berlin or the unrest among the masses in Portugal. At the conference of the party at Hull a resolution that the organization declare as its "ultimate object" the "overthrow of the present system" was first voted down by 951,000 votes to 91,000.

The article discusses some recent political developments. With delightful inconsequence the Irish Nationalists have announced at Dublin, Ireland that they have decided to break off all relations with the English liberals, and to inaugurate a grand and harmonious movement for Home Rule. Motions to welcome back some nationalists were voted down by large majorities. Those able but perverse gentlemen have not submitted gracefully to the Irish Parliamentary machine, and so they must remain outside the breastworks. Americans have got out of the habit of thinking of Portugal as a country prone to revolutions. It would almost seem, too, as if King Carlos and his Prime Minister had also forgotten their national history. Otherwise, they could scarcely have expected that their attempt to govern without a Parliament would not provoke such bloody outbreaks as those in Lisbon, Portugal.

Beyond the question of the extent of the power exercised over territorial waters lies the more elementary question of the-extent of such waters themselves. Territorial waters may be defined from the land outward. Petty or inland canals and so-called non-navigable rivers do not enter the discussion at all, for the reason that they are completely, under the sovereignty of the state. For centuries, from about 1200 to 1650, the greatest menace to the freedom of the seas was the attempt on the part of Venice, of Portugal, and of Great Britain to include parts of the seas in their imperial domains.

This article focuses on the political conditions of Portugal. Premier Marcelo Caetano has made a mark in the thirteen months since he succeeded the stroke-crippled Antonio de Oliveira Salazar, Portugal's dictator for more than forty years. While Salazar lives on in the Premier's Sao Bento Palace, partially paralyzed land still thinking he is in power, Caetano sells himself as a nicer, warmer, more human national leader. To this end, the 63-year-old former college teacher applies all the modern propaganda skills at his command, from periodic fireside chats on television to highly advertised handshaking tours through the villages of metropolitan Portugal.

There is repression and repression; the sort practiced in Portugal is relatively benign, and certainly should not be equated with the treatment traditionally accorded the subjects of the neighboring state on its east. The average per capita yearly income in Portugal is $171and there are innumerable taxes which are collected at source.

If you glance at geographical map, Spain and Portugal look like Europe's gangplank. The gangplank is crowded with people whom fascism is squeezing out of Europe but who have not yet been able to obtain a ship and a visa for the free world across the water. For them, every day is a gamble; odd or even, red or black, seventeen or eighteen on the roulette wheel, the Nazis on a berth or on a vessel? Hundreds of them play their luck each night in the casino at Estoril. This casino is the last international. Where else does a German with a saber gash on his cheek sit elbow to elbow with an Englishman? When the West Point disgorged the German and Italian consuls into Portugal, high Nazi officials, led by Hans Dieckhoff, ex-ambassador at Washington, met them at the gangplank, and the next evening they flipped their chips at Estoril.

POWER (Social sciences) ,INTERNATIONAL economic relations ,GROSS national product ,INTERNATIONAL trade - Abstract
The purpose of the investigation is to explore, by using data on trade structures and multinational corporations, the extent to which the relatively homogeneous group of West European countries is characterized by the existence of dominance relations. The analysis indicates that smaller and not-so-rich West European nations tend to be systematically worse-off, judged on the basis of the premises of the investigation, in the network of trade and investment relations. Furthermore the size dimensions, viz. Gross National Product, tend to have more explanatory power in relation to the position of smaller and not-so-rich nations than the level of development variable, viz. GNP/capita. The consequences of this state of affairs are for from clear because of the complexify and the multidimensionality of the dependent variable. In any case it appears to be important to make a distinction between mere growth of national economies - which may be of parasitic nature as the case of Portugal illustrates - and development which implies a given degree of equality and autonomy in the economy concerned. Traditional theories concerning the position and external policy of small powers is of little help in describing and explaining these kinds of phenomena and consequently a reorientation in these theories is needed, if they are to be useful.

34. EDUCATIONAL LEVELS OF THE PORTUGUESE INDUSTRIAL ELITE.

Makler, Harry M.

EDUCATIONAL attainment ,BUSINESSMEN ,EDUCATIONAL standards ,INDUSTRIALIZATION ,QUANTITATIVE research - Abstract
The article examines the educational levels of industrial elites and businessmen in Portugal. The statistical data that presents the level of education in Portugal shows that just 37% of the university students obtained some degree, 11% did not finish a program, 28% have secondary education and less than 10% completed their primary education. The percentage of lawyers within the industrial elite is small in the country, as is that of economists, although it is likely that a large portion of the 30% obtaining non-technical degrees may have obtained their degrees in economics or in any of the various courses in administration. It appears that, at least in Portugal, several years will yet be necessary for the establishment of a graduate school of business administration that will furnish advanced schooling in that field, although in 1965 the American Embassy in Lisbon was attempting to stir up interest in such a project. The given statistical data furnishes an adequate means of showing how the opportunity to enter the industrial elite varies in terms of educational level. The data regarding urban males with some schooling show that their opportunities to enter the elite are not as promising as those of urban and rural males considered together. In Portugal as in Spain, the educational level of the industrial elite of giant enterprises is very high and certainly can be compared favorably, in the case of Spain, with that of American industrialists.

The article examines certain patterns of conflict in Montemor, a peasant community in Portugal, in order to gain insight into certain aspects of the dynamics of the relationship between narrower and broader levels of a differentiated large-scale society. Distinctiveness between parishes was determined through such functions as tax collecting and local elections, as well as in terms of defining participants in common enterprises. Agents of the urban bureaucracies influenced the life of parish inhabitants. Several forms of conflict reaction observed in the parish are described.

Conqueror Baron de Marbot was left starting for Spain. He had a presentiment that the next campaign would be a very hard one. As soon as he had crossed the Bidassoa River, Spain and France, he felt that all security was gone; he was a bearer of dispatches, and was escorted by gendarmes; he found on his way the corpse of an officer who was a bearer of dispatches from King Joseph to the Emperor, the famous Mina was in the neighborhood. He arrived safely, however, at Miranda, Spain on the Ebro River, Spain; but in the plains of Old Castile, Spain he was attacked by guerrillas, whom he repulsed successfully. The English had undertaken to defend Portugal, and this gave much importance to the fortress on the frontier, Ciudad Rodrigo. Massena besieged it, and it was taken by storm. Marbot fell ill during this siege; a high fever had seized him; he became delirious and was very near dying.
