LONDON. January 26.--One Of the
deepest impressions received by
Lloyd George In Brazil was the sue
cess which has attended American
business men In gaining South

There are great opportunities for
British trade in Brazil and Argen-

forging ahead. This. he believed,
was partly because the British did
