URGE SENDING OF
 BRAZILIAN YOUTHS
 ID ]. 5. C0LLEGES

RIO JANEIRO, Nov, 4, (Pl l-Ob- servers from the United States viS- iting Brazil since the trip of Presi- Ident-elect Hoover last December have suggested that the greatest need in promoting closer relations between the two United States" is that of student exchange, especially |of sending young Brazilians to in- stitutions of learning in the north land.
 At the same time, 1t is argued, American professors with knowl- edge of Portuguese should lecture in Brazilian universities
 The need of this latter is evil dent by the number of Europeans who come to South American coun- tries on lecture tours at various universities, and teachers from Latin Europe who are employed in the more progressive schools here. These teachers naturally have a tendency to draw the youth of Brazil to those countries of the Old World whose cultural roots are of the same origin.
