RESISTING NAZISM
STEPS IN BRAZIL
SIGNIFICANT PHASE
- NEW YORK, November 25.
The Rio de Janeiro correspondent o£ the "New York Times" says that Brazil is speeding up work on a big new military barracks at Blumenau, the most predominantly Germanic city in Santa Catherina, one of 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 President Vargas, not Hitler, is boss in Brazil, whose German population totals 1,000,000. In the latest phase of the battle which the totalitarian States of Europe and Asia are waging to dominate Latin America, this anti-Nazi stiffening of attitude has peculiar significance.
Brazil, with an area larger than the United States of America, a population of nearly 45,000,000, arid a wealth of raw materials such as is found in scarcely any other land, would bit a particularly valuable plum for tb* "have not" nations.
