here today said: "Brazilians will never
accept dictatorship, and President d.

congress is aware that it cannot depend
upon the support of either the arm.
on the navy. If it could, i
might initiate Chile and seek Il
fight Da Fonseca. The troop
remain faithful because they fear tn,
monarchial menace behind eventful sue
cess for congress. Fonseca is i'll and ha
