BRAZIL MAKES CLAIMS
AT PEACE CONFERENCE
Asks Pay for Coffee Communicated
by Germany, and Decision Re-
garding Interned Ships.

PARIS, Thursday, January 2opra
I'll has two matters of particular in
terest in the settlement OF war claims
payment by Germany for coffee
which Brazil was forced to sell 70 her
shortly after the war began and funds
for which are still on deposit in Ber-
lin and decision as to German ships
informed in Brazilian waters and
seized by Brazil when she entered the
struggle. These claims were outlined
by DR.. Epitacio Pessoa, head of the
Brazilian delegation to the peace con-
ference, in the course of an interview
printed in the Temps today
After declaring Brazil would fol
low the lead of the great powers, to
whom she owes her rapid progress and
prompt development. upon matters of
general interest" Mr.. Pessoa said:
When the war began there were
two million sacks of coffee belonging
to Brazilian company stored at
Hamburg, Bremen, Trieste and Ant
Werp. This coffee was under contract
between the Brazilian company and
French, British and German banks 1t
was Communicated. Brazil protested
theoretically, but was forced to sell
the coffee to Germany for 10000, 900
marks, which was deposited in the S.
Bleichroeder Bank. in Berlin, under
the responsibility of Germany and still
remains there. Germany must pay
this money at the rate of exchange
obtaining at the time the coffee was
requisitioned and interest from that
date.
After protesting many times against
unrestricted warfare which caused her
heavy losses Brazil seized all German
ships informed in Brazilian ports
There were forty-three of these ships.
thirty of which have been loaned to
France.
The Brazilian government does not
desire an exceptional settlement of
these questions, but merely a settle
in complete accord with the decision
of the great powers in the matter"
