MULLER ADVISES BRAZIL TO
 ADHERE TO STRICT NEUTRALITY

from hundreds of residences, the ban ners of the central powers being in the decided minority but always flying German members have been uncere- moniously expelled from international clubs and some hotels here are now extensively advertising the fact that no Germans, Austrians or allies of the central powers will be admitted as guests.
 Writers and speakers in discussing this matter of neutrality, often point with condemnation to the United States because the northern republic failed to take a stronger stand on the occasion of the invasion of Belgium by Germany These contend that the Untted States as the leading non bel ligerent power might have established q precedent in this matter which would have done much to have saved future embarrassments for all neutral nations
 In magazine article recently pub lished in one of the Brazilian reviews, however, the writer attributes the cause of the general broadly sentiment among the people of the southern re- public 10 the intellectual and financial domination which France has exercised for the past five decades over Brazil and the rest of thg Countries of South America.
 In Brazil as in the other countries of the southern continent, French is taught to the. children of the better classes as q matter of course. The dream of every yonng Latin American writer and thinker is to finish off his course by q sojOurn Of a year or two in Paris French philosophy. French psychology and French literature are the models for this entire people. The natural result K a warm sympathy with all that is Gallic.
 France, according to this writer. has done everything in her power to foster this natural inclination. Money has been appropriated 10 establish schools learn the language without great ef- Tort or expenditure. French bankers have loaned money where the more conservative Anglo saxon. or Teuton would have hesiiaied. The comfner- cial campaign of the great European republic in South America has had a guiding campaign Of the great Euro pean republic iu south Amer lea has had guiding philosophy somewhat different from that of Eng land. the United States or Germany where the effort t0 sell seems to have been the only one. France has pur- sued the more subtle course of making the South American nations her debt Ors. Already. the author of the review article claims she is reaping her re- ward In the general wave of sympathy which goes out from ali classes here to her.
