BOLIVIA SUPPORTS AMERICA

g. formal declaration by the Buenos

United States. The Buenos Aires
newspapers La Presna today declared

deemed the interests of United States
and Argentine entirely different in
the present situation-forecastin
adoption of an Argentine policy OPP
posed to that of the United States.
The attitude therefore of the three
powerful A B G nations shows de-
cided difference of opinion. Argen-
tine will apparently refuse its sup
port to President Wilson's plan for
joint action by neutrals. Brazil seems
most likely to lend its aid-but for
the present will confine Its action
merely to a formal and energetic
protest. Chile, according to informa-
ton already referred to, has formally
determined not to cooperate with the
United States.
Brazil Has Protested.
RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. 7-Brazil's 8
formal protest against Germay's plan
of unlimited exercise of submarine
warfare. was en- route to Berlin today.
Considerably Brazil closed its har-
| bors tightly to all ships after dark.
The greatest interest is expressed in
the text of the Brazilian protest which
will be withheld until the note is
formally received in Berlin.
1t was noted here today that all
German funds on deposit in Bra
lillian and aIlied-controlled banks had
been withdrawn.
