decided

LONDON, Nov. 24.-Although at the
moment of writing the question wheth-
er or not Portugal will enter into the
great struggle in Europe is not decid
ed, nevertheless, there has been from
the first no question as to the attitude
Of the country.
Portugal has always regarded with
cordial pride the fact that she can
reckon herself as the Oldest ally of
Great Britain. From those early times,
over 700 years ago, when Alfonso I.
with the help of English crusaders.
regained Lisbon from the Moors, Por-
tugal and England has been allies.
There are many points in which the
history of the two countries is similar.
They were both the lands of seamen;
both countries engaged from early
times in stern struggle against the
power of the papacy, and both coun-
tries have been famous for their trad
ing enterprise.
Two Peoples in Sympathy.
1t is true that Portugal has been left
long way behind and the summit of
her power was reached when England
was only just beginning to emerge
from comparative obscurity. Still with
so much in common, the two people
have always been in sympathy.
Portugals claim to Importance as a
possible factor in the present European
war, rests of course upon her COMPARE
lively vast colonial possessions, espec-
tally in Africa. Angola on the west,
with its 1000 miles of coast line and it's
4S4,OOO square miles of territory, ly-
ing as it does Immediately north of
German Southwest Africa has for a
long time been an object of desire to
Germany. Similarly on the east coast,
Portuguese East Africa, Immediately
south of German East Africa, with
its 1400 miles of coast line, 100000
miles of territory and many valuable
harbors, has formed another Naboth's
vineyard
Ever since the establishment of the
republic some four years ago, and for
many years before that time, rumor
has again and again spread itself
abroad to the effect that Portugal in
tended to negotiate the sale of her col

made mistakes enough, still it has
already shown itself in the presence
of many difficulties to be capable Of
holding it's own, clearing away many
abuses and throwing itself heartily in
to the work of upbuilding.
One of the first acts of the republic
was to affirm it's friendship for "Portu-
gals most ancient ally-England.' So
today as the crowds gather round the
huge befagged maps hanging outside
the Lisbon newspaper offices, the out
standing desire is ever to see what the
Allies have done. A large section of the
press here, as in all the neutral coun-
tries, has tried to force the hands of
the government into an abandonment
of the attitude of neutrality.

ClamOr for Declaration.


There has been much clamor for a
declaration of war against Germany,
and it must be admitted that if such a
war were to de be declared it would
not be an unpopular war. Portugal's
resources, it is true, are small. Still
there can be no doubt that if the Por-
tuguese decided to throw in their lot
with the Allies, they would be eager
to show that their declaration of ad-
hesion was not mere hollow display.
Her fleet, although small, could afford
valuable assistance in protecting trade
routes and successful efforts have been
made recently in the direction of re-
constructing the army.
An entirely dispassionate view of
the situation as it concerns Portugal
were victorious in the present conflict,
it would mean the end of Portugal's
overseas dominions, at any rate as
far as Africa is concerned. The same
reasons, therefore, for intervention are
being put forward in Lisbon as in
Rome and Bucharest, only Italy and
Roumania desire to gain something,
Portugal only to be sure Of holding
what she has.
Very little is known as to Portugal's
preparedness to resist German incur
sions into her colonies in East and
West Africa. Portugal's great ad-
vantage, however, in this direction
over her possible opponent would, of
course, be that she has the freedom
of the sea. Germany cannot add to
the fighting force in any of her colon
les Meanwhile, as the position stands
at the moment of writing the question
of intervention is being seriously con-
sidered in Lisbon, and any day may
witness the reaching of a definite decs-
ion.

Foundations of Empire.

1t was during the fourteenth and fir
teenth centuries that Portugal laid the
foundation of this colonial empire.
Henry the Navigator, made his country
celebrated not only by the capture of
Ceuta, but by his many geographical
discoveries, owing to which Portuguese
possessions abroad were enormously
increased. 1t was period of rapid pro-
gress.
In 1442 Madeira and the Azores were
discovered and trade with Africa rap
idly increased. Some 40 years later
Bartholomew Diaz rounded the Cape of
Good Hope and discovered new road
to India; in the closing years of the
century the famous old navigator, Vas
CO de CANA sailed from Lisbon to Cal
icut, and in 1900 Portuguese sailors
reached Brazil. Ten years later AL
buquerque occupied Goa, took Ceylon,
the Sunda Islands and Malacca, and
so secured definitely the control of
the eastern trade.
When John III. came to the throne
in 1921, Portugal had practically
reached the height of her prosperity
1t was just about this time also that
there were sown those seeds which
ultimately resulted in decline The Jes-.
uits were admitted and period which
followed was marked by the most ruth
less exploits of the Inquisition, &C
companied by persecution and expul-
sion of the Jews. A sense of insecur-
ity reigned everywhere and as was
inevitable, with her great possessions
overseas. Portugal was steadily
drained by as tream of emigration
abroad.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-11-24
Spain's Power Increased.

This decline continued for many
years, and as the power of Portugal
declined that of Spain increased. The
struggle between the two countries, al
ways more or less active, toward the
close of the sixteenth century swept
up to crisis. Philip II. of Spain,
claimed the crown, invaded the coun-
try and entered Lisbon as conuuerer
on June 20, 1881, and it was not until
1871 that Portugal regained her indie
pendence. Even then, Spain refused
to recognize it, and in the long-drawn-
out struggle which followed, Portugal
again and again had the help of Eng
land
The two countries were found allies
in 1903 against Louis XIV, a year
which also saw the famous Methuen
treaty concluded, treaty by which En-
glish goods were admitted free into
Portugal. From that time the alliance
between the two peoples has been close
and characterized by the utmost friend
Iiness. They fought Napoleon side by
side during the Peninsular war.
1t was England again in 1926 who
John VI. in his efforts to
restore a more liberal constitution.
Johns intentions were opposed by
Russia and Austria, but Canning with
that naive high-handedness which in
those days characterized Englands ex-
ternal policy, sent force to Lisbon
and declared that England would re-
sent ANY outside interference in the
affairs of Portugal"
Many Upheavals Seen.
Since that time Portugal has passed
through much troubled water. During
The some 80 years which interviewed
Canning's somewhat ingenu-
BUS Intervention and the revolution of
1910, the country witnessed many up
neavals and tried many political ex-
periments. When, therefore, on the
evening of Oct. 5, 1910, the successful
insurgents proclaimed the republic,
the world at large might be forgiven
If it regarded with caution the claim
