“GIVE US GUNS”
BRAZIL’S REACTION TO WAR
AXIS NATIONALS ROUNDED UP
(Rec. 12.30 p.m.) RIO DM JANEIRO, Aug. 23
Sweeping searchlights over the harbour,, shrieking police cars rounding up Axis nationals, patriotic crowds chanting “ Give us guns. Death to Germany,” gave witness to Brazil’s entry into the war, while hundreds of Axis nationals tried nightly to escape to Uruguay. The Uruguayan Government, however, which granted Brazil non-belligerent treatment and hinted that “ further steps will probably be taken,” ordered the authorities to detain Axis refugees and extradite them to Brazil. Militarists are concentrating on the stiffening of the defences of Brazil’s Atlantic bulge, which is only 1,700 miles from Africa, and therefore the continent’s most vulnerable point, and are also paying close attention to the Vichy-ruled French Guinea, which thwarts the Brazil - American communication line.
