LATIN AMERICA
GROWING ANTI-NAZI ATTITUDE BRAZIL SPEEDING UP DEFENCE MEASURES CONTROL OF GERMAN ELEMENT fC.P.A—Bv Electric Telegraph —Copy right’ NEW YORK, 25th November. The Rio de Janeiro correspondent of the “New York Times” says that Brazil is speeding up work on a big hew military barracks at Blumenau. the most predominately Germanic city in the State of Santa Gatharina, one of twd States where Germans are very strong. When finished, it will be occupied by a force of Brazilian regular artillery—a direct hint to the prb-NaH 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, and a wealth of raw materials found in scarcely any other land, would be a particularly valuable plum for the “have not” nations.
