Gently, be deferred until the American

It's Germany and Brazil Now.

Berlin, March 12--Protests are be-
ingmade at the German foreign office
by the Disconto Gesellschaft bank
and other institutions interested in
railway property in the South Amer
lean republics. The bank is asking
protection against the Brazilian gov
eminent, which is understood to be
on the point of confiscating a rail
way already in the hands of a receiv-
er favorable to the government.
Brazil claims that the German in
vestors did not fulfill the stipulations
of the concession, and this is suffi-
Gent cause to repeal the franchise.
A naval demonstration and aggres-
sive action is planned as the only
way to bring Brazil to terms. Ac-
cording to German financiers the
situation is critical.
