BRAZIL STEPS OUT
Of NEUTRAL CLASS

RIO DE JANEIRO, May 29.---Af-
ter four days of filibustering the
Brazilian congress authorized Presi-
dent Braz to announce Brazil's re-
vocation of neutrality as between the
United States and Brazil.
The legislative body, however, re-
fused to adopt similar authoriza-
ton regarding neutrality announce
ment between Germany and
European allies.
The situation is, therefore, not
clear as to where Brazil stands. A
revocation OF the neutrality procla-
nations between Germany and the
European allies have permitted Bra
zil to step forward toward wal
declaration.
Refusal to authorize such revo
cation leaves the republic official,
without diplomatic intercourse Will
