mittee on Foreign Relations in the
Brazilian Congress to-day drafted a
measure recommending the cancellation
OF the decree Of April 20, 1917. which
declared the neutrality of Brazil in
the war between Germany and the
United States.
President Braz. under the bill, would
be authorized to take necessary steps
for the carrying out of this law and
to put into practice tho acts which
result from the cessation of neutrality.
MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT
PRESENTED TO CONGRESS
The BRAZILIAN Foreign Minister to-
day presented to Congress a message
signed by President Braz in which
II is stated that the sinking of Bra
lillian merchantmen by German subma-
rincs obliSes the government to take
measures OF defense against the Teu-
ton C-boats. The utilization, but not
confiscation, of German vessels intern
ed in brazilian scaports is suggested.
rbe text Of the message follows:
"Fhave the honor to bring to-day to
your knowledge confirmation OF the
information which we have received
from the brazilian, legation at Paris

adopted when Germany announced TO

To-day the sinking of second

the government to put into practice

TO honor the gift of the fathers of

worthy of the glorious heritage. To
fail is to confess our degeneracy; to
acknowledge that we are unworthy
sons OF noble sires: to sink in shame
the traditions OF Washington. Jeffer-
son and Lincoln. We will not fail
Popular support OF the government
is a factor in victory no less than SOL
