Population of RraziI.

Brazil was inclined 70 complain rather
bitterly over the incorrect estimate Of
her population at The Hague Conference.
It may be interesting 20 recall the laws
which regulate naturalization IN the new
South American republic. Everybody born
in Brazil Of Brazilian or foreign parents
is a Brazilian. So are the children of
Brazilian citizens born in foreign Coun-
tries, and the children Of Brazilian
women born in foreign countries provided
they establish their residence Iu Brazil
Foreign citizens owning real estate in
Brazil, or married 20 Brazilian women
and having had children IN Brazil, are
Braziiaus. Any foreigner Of age VINO
has resided In Brazil for more than TWO
years and has a good reputation may be
a uatUralized Brazilian. and any person
who has been naruralized can be ap-
pointed or elected 10 any office IN the
country except those OF President and
Vice President of the republic. To be
elected a deputy. the candidate must have
enjoyed four years of naturalization, and
