Despite the Official eulog!sts OF Pan.
America, It was not friendship Nor was
there good reason why peoples separated
by such vast CULTS Of prejudice and miscon.
ccption, to say nothing of racial divergen-

truth is that reciprocity OF understanding
between the northern and southern portions
of this continent has been lameutably neg

rants generous appreciation. This is no
revolution wrung comic Opera country but
an aspiring and superbly endowed federal
republic with an honorable and stimulating
history.
II is, among other things, the only par
ent nation that ever changed places with
It's mother. The independence of Brazil Is
traceable originally to the conquest Of
Portugal by France during the Napoleontc
Wars. For a time, Rio not Lisbon, was
capital Of the far flung Portuguese realms.
The sheer magnitude of Brazil occasioned
the separation when her people on Sep
tcmber :, 1922, cast off allegiance 10 the
distant and d!minutive homeland and Sc
lected a member Of the house of Braganza
as its first emperor.
Imperial rule safeguarded the nation from
anarchy, and when the progress Of civtliza-
ton and the development of the people
had demonstrated that crowns were archa-
isms in the hemisphere, Brazil astonished
the world with bloodless change to re-
publican institutions.
There is in all history, no parallel to
