BRAZIL CERTAIN TO

Washington, May 23.--Brazirs en-

question merely of days. Those who

President Braz asked congress yes-
terday to revoke the declaration of
neutrality, and If congress accepts his
suggestion a formal declaration of
war probably will follow Immediately.
Brazil was one Of the first South
American countries to sever relations
with Germany. The text of the presi-
dents message, emphasizing Brazil's
traditional policy of continental soli-
darity and friendship for the United
States, was received by cable today at
the state department and at the Bra
lillian embassy.
President Sustained.
The disgruntled military governors
probably will instigate protests in the
provinces against President Ii Yuan
Hung for his rebuke to the military
power, but the presidents firm stand
Is inspiring admiration in unexpected
quarters.
Indications are that the military
leaders, headed by Tuan Chi Jul, lose
public sympathy through the demon
strations of the mob the night Of May
10, when after riotous secret session
in which the house of representatives
refused to pass a resolution declaring
war on Germany, the parliament
building was surrounded by a large
crowd which demanded war and made
threats of violence.
Gen. Wang Shih Chen, chief of the
general staff, had been made COM
mander of the emergency troops
guarding the Peking-Tien Tsin rail-
way to prevent the disgruntled mill
tary leaders from seizing the line.
The embassy translation says in
part:
THE Brazilian nation, through her
legislative organ, without warlike in
tention, but with firmness, may take
in consideration the fact that one OF
the belligerents is an integrant part
of the American continent and to
that belligerent we are united by n
traditional friendship and the same
political thought for the defense Of
vital interests in America and the
principles accepted dn international
law.
"Accentuating that this policy of
continental solidarity is not the pol
icy of the present government nor of
the present regime, but the tradition
al policy of the Brazilian nation, I
submit the matter to the judgment
OF the national congress and feel
sure that whatever resolution Is
adopted it will make still firmer the
that fortunately exists
between Brazil and the United
States"
