Axis Says Brazil Was Blackmailed Into War
Rec. 10.35 pjn. New York, Aug. 23 Broadcasts from Berlin, Rome and Tokio, commenting in exactly the same tenor on Brazil's declaration of war against Germany rand Italy, sought to blame the United States for it. Axis broadcasts heard here minimised the provoca'tion given to Brazil by submarine actions off the coast and ignored the outbursts of popular indignation at Rio de Janeiro.

Tokio asserted that Brazil was influenced by dollar diplomacy.
