ANTI-NAZI MOVE BY BRAZIL
New Barracks Built In Germanic Area “VARGAS, NOT HITLER, IS BOSS” (United Press Assn,— Telegraph Copyright) (Received November 25, 11.40 p.m.) NEW YORK, November 25. Brazil is speeding up work on a big new military barracks at Blumenau, the most predominantly Germanic city in the state of Santa Catharina, one of two states in which Germans are very strong, says the Rio de Janeiro correspondent of The New York Tunes. When it is finished it will be occupied by a force of Brazilian regular artillery—a direct hint to the pro-Nazi element that the Brazilian President (Dr Getulio Vargas), not Herr Hitler, is boss in Brazil, whose German population totals 1,000,000. As 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 has a peculiar significance.
Brazil, with an area bigger 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-Not” nations.
