BRAZIL STANDS BY U. S.;
RENOUNCES NEUTRALITY
National Congress, However, Re-
fuses to Take Similar Action
Toward Allies
BY H. B. ROBERTSON
Special cable service Of the United Press and
EVENING LEDGER

RIO JANEIRO. May 90
After four days of hlibustering. the
Brazilian Congress today authorized Presi-
dent Bras to announce BraZl's revocation
of neutrality as between the United States
and Germany The legislative body, how
ever, refused to adopt a similar authorize
ton with regard to neutrality announce
ments as between Germany and the Euro
pean Allies.
The situation is. therefore. not clear to-
day as to where Brazil stands, A revoca-
tion of the neutrality proclamations between
Germany and the European Allies would
have permitted Brazil to step forward to-
ward a war declaration.
Refusal to authorize sucn a revocation
leaves the republic officially without diplo-
matte intercourse with Germany, and fully
sympathetic with the course of the United
States, but apparently without desire to de-
clare war.
Today Congress authorized the requisition
of foTry-nine interned ships in Brazilian
harbors. The ships have total tonnage
of 100000.
