Appeal for Austerity. So intense is the pressure, that Quadros last week felt compelled to pass up the champagne inauguration of the U.S. embassy building in his new inland capital of Brasilia. Coming after Quadros had personally promised the wife of U.S. Ambassador John Moors Cabot that he would be there, the undiplomatic failure to show up was interpreted by many as one more Quadros snub to the U.S. But the President, explained his supporters, was putting the finishing touches on a new and dramatic appeal to Brazilians to accept austerity...
Among veteran observers of the Quadros mind, both in Washington and Brasilia, Jânio's actions produced more resigned shoulder shrugging than alarm.

Five years ago Brazil's President Juscelino Kubitschek unlocked Brazil's treasure chest, hauled out fistfuls of cruzeiros and headed west, into the empty interior. He covered a lot of ground-establishing the new capital of Brasilia, creating an auto industry turning out 140,000 vehicles a year, increasing the gross national product an average of 6% a year, increasing steel production and power output. The trip was expensive: as Kubitschek prepares to clear out of Brasilia's Palace of the Dawn, the chest he leaves is a Pandora's box of fiscal troubles (see chart...
