INFLUENCE IN BRAZIL POSSIBILITIES SUGGESTED LONDON, 15th .March. “Herr Hitler has a long arm,” says Piofesaor Arnold Toynbee, director ol studies at the Royal Institute of International Affrias, m an article on Brazil, published in the ”Economist. ’’ “It might i.ot bt beyond his dream, he adds, “to turn a German minority o: native Brazilian Fascists into a lever fo» prising Brazil from her pan-Ameri-can setting, and working her into some r.ew international grouping on the bases of the German-Italian-Japanese triangle “A majority of the Germans is concentrated in the centre and south, liv. ing largely in compact setlements. They have their own Nazi organisation, energetically fostered by and closely supervised from Berlin. In handling this double problem of n German, also a native Fascist organisation, Brazil is in the same awkward situat ion as Hungary. “Whether anything in Brazil is, cleserv. ! ing of the name ot Communism, except as a term of political abuse, is perhaps a j matter for argument. The political insulation of South America is hardly like ly always to resist the modern mechanical process of annihilating distance. “If the democratic system of international relations collapsed, pan-American-ism, as well as the League, might rapidly be encroached upon by new constellations of power.’’ THYRODONE FOR ANAEMIA rhyrodune is superior to liver tor Anaemia.
