PANAMA, March 30 The cable dispatches
lately received In this city point enthusiastically
to an impending war between Brazil and the
Argentine Republic. The trouble between
Brazil and the Argentine Confederation is one
of long standing, dating back to the year 1928
1t has reference more particularly to the ques-
tion OF boundaries ON the Chaco, but there is
also mixed herewith a fend arising from eal-
ousy of each other as well as from antagonism
OF race, although both would seem TO have had
common origin. A war between these two
neighboring and progressive natlous would be
a deplorable calamity, as it would be sanRui-
nary struggle bitterly carried on.
