One may view the 1942 Circular as marking the state’s recognition of the necessity of coming to terms with a plantation economy rapidly expanding because of wartime demands for primary agricultural goods. Although Salazar had declared that the Estado Novo was against ‘everything which may minimize or divide or break up the family', and although he had railed against capitalism specifically for regarding workers as mere units of labour and not as full human beings,-’ when the imperatives of the colony’s capitalists’ labour demands became evident the Estado Novo abandoned its oft-stated ideological principles and, indeed, the law itself and moved to meet the needs of the plantation companies. It also attempted to fulfil another of Salazar’s nationalist visions, that the colonies ‘produce the raw material and ... sell it to the Mother Country in exchange for manufactured goods.
