The recent Chinese war, tho cor respondent adds has clearly demonstrated that the United States is unwilling tt plunge into foreign adventures and th' Washington administration Is undoubtedl, most friendly to Germany as a number oi recent acts show. The correspondent mex l claims that the German press is in par' more unfriendly to the United States, in stancing a number of cases.

 "Germany has not had any interests but l economic interests to subserve in Brazil l This is we'll known to the Brazilian gov ernment. The interest which Germany takes in the Germans in Brazil, who have nearly all acquired Brazilian citizenship l is legitimate and natural and largely be- cause they have remained good customers for the German export trade"
