LONDON, Dec. I5.-There IL an interesting
scheme on foot u establish IA government
over a region Of 100. 900 square miles In the
hSart Of South America to be christened
Amazonia and TO ba placed under French
protection. The matter Is really a serious
one. and as II directly involves the Monroe
Doctrine, IL deserves the attention OF the
Washington authorities
1t seems that tho decision. OF the Swiss
Arbitration Court in the Franco-Brszilian
boundary dispute has caused considerable
dissatisfaction In Paris. where a powerful
group Of Gnanciers have been badly hit.
They have spent millions Of francs in opening
UP the auriferous country in tho heart Of the
disputed region and have constructed about
seventy miles Of light railway to this district
from Fermine. at the south Of the river Carse-
vene All this and much more are now given
To Brazil. contrary, 1t is contended. TO the
clearest evidence Of French ownership. 70
sure were the Frenchmen that the arbitra-
ton would result in their favor that they had
arranged to run the country on tho lines Of
the British chartered companies They had
decided 10 name 1t Amazonia and had printed
for early Issue special postage stamps. Of
which samples have just been shown to THE
Sun correspondent.
Certain flnanciers and subsidized members
OF the Chamber OF Deputies are now engaged
in inducing the French Government TO at
tempt TO arrange a deal with Brazil by which
at least 900 square miles Of the lately
contested territory. including OF course the
gold producing regions. shall revert TO France
Washington will probably find IL worth while
to keep Q wstchful eye upon this matter.
