ANTI-NAZI MOVE.
GOVERNMENT OF BRAZIL.
(United Press Association—Copyright.) NEW YORK, November 25.
The Rio de Janiero correspondent of tho “New York Times” says that Brazil is pushing on with work on a big new military barracks at Blumonau, the most predominately Germanic city in the State of Santa Catharina, one of the two States where Germans are very strong. When finished it will be occupied by a force of Brazilian regular artillery—a direct hint to the pro-Nazi element that the President (Dr. G. Vargas) and not Herr Hitler is boss of Brazil, the German population of which totals 1,000,000.
In the latest phase of the battle the totalitarian States of Europe and Asia are waging to dominate Latin America, this anti-Nazi stiffening of attitude lias peculiar significance. Brazil, with an area larger than the United States, a population of nearly 45,000,000, and a wealth of raw materials found in scarcely any other land, would be a particularly valuable plum for the “have-riot” nations.
