FAMOUS BRAZILIAN
VOW IN THE CITY.
THERE Is an interesting man
In tovn-he has been here
for several months now and
mas taken q house, but who has
been keeping rather TO himself, and
he is DR.. Manoel Oliveira Lima of
Brazil. who Is in Washington In
connection with the installation n,
Catholic university of the library
ne has donated TO that Institution.
DR.. Lima is known here and
abroad as an expert on interna-
tional law and has gained a wide
reputation as an author and lee
turer on South American affairs
He spent most of his life in the
diplomatic service, and at times
was stationed in Spain. Germany.
London. Japan, Sweden. Peru and
the United States He took q
prominent part in the settlement of
the venezuelan boundary dispute.
He has given his librray. which Is
considered one of the most complete
or its sort in the world, to the Cath
olic university. The installation
began in March. but will require
some time to complete. DR.. Lima is
personally supervising the work
Dr. Lima is an advocate of the
federation of Central America. and
he believes the union Is one of the
things that must come eventually
In Central Americas progress, al
though there are many obstacles
which block the path to success
Should Mexico's attitude toward the
republics Of Central America ever
change to one which threatens the
existence OF any of the individual
states. the union would come into
existence almost automatically.
DR.. Lima's travels have never
taken him into Mexico and he in
| tends to leave for that country next
November. An interest in the real
| situation in Mexico, inspired by so
many conflicting statements, has
prompted DR.. Lima's desire to study
| the questions there at first hs
and he will spend some time max
ing his Investigations.
