RELATIONS BATTERED
 BETWEEN COUNTRIES
Portuguese Aviators Flying From That Country to Brazil Cementing
 Feelings Between Countries.

Lisbon, Aug. 24-The daring act of Portuguese aviators in flying from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro, says the Seculo in an editorial article, has created a bond of union and amity between Portugal and Brazil and has ushered in the psychological moment to improve existing political rela- tions.
 Under the monarchy this seemed on the eve of accomplishment, the paper continues. The king was about to visit Brazil, but his assassination pre- vented. The circumstances at that time were most opportune.
 The old question between England and Brazil of the Island of Trinidad had been settled by arbitration, and Portueal's course had won the sym pathy of Brazil. Today the two coun- tries are uniting in their acclaim of the Portuguese flyers and the mo- ment should be seized to reach mu- tually agreeable settlements of out standing problems.
 These the Seculo summaries as follows Nationalized and direct naW- gation; the establishment of radio the making Of Lisbon the port of distribution to Europe for Brazilian products, and treaty of emi- grafton.
 In conclusion the paper points out
