LAKE. Miss. July l4-Two bandits
armed with sub-machine guns kid
naped a colored porter. terrorized a
banker-mayor and his family for
seven hours and then escaped under
hail OF bullets here early today in
the climax to an unsuccessful plot
to rob the Bank of Lake.
The two men and a confederate
who had awaited them in an auto
mobile several miles from Lake, we're
later hunted over a wide area by
Sheriff George j. Taylor Of Scott
County and his deputies
The bandits drove into Lake Just
before midnight, kidnapped Robert
Johnson, porter at the railway sta
ton. and then went to the home of
Pat MCMILLAN, vice president and
cashier of the bank, and mayor of the
town. They demanded the mayor ac-
company them to the bank and open
the vault, but Mcmillan convinced
them that the time lock prevented
the vault being opened until In
The bandits then locked the porter
in a closet and told Mcmillan and
his wife and two children they would
wait until Z am. and then go to the
bank.
In an unexplained manner Sheriff
TAYLOR received word of the plot and,
gathering a posse, started toward
Lake.
In driving by the house one of the
uoSSemen started firing into the air
and as he did the bandits raced out
rear door.
Entering the bankers car, the
bandits sped away, exchanging shots
with members of the posse

announced to the world, Brazil was
the first to applaud it, and has ever
since been q most enthusiastic sup
porter of that policy. There stands
in one Of the most beautiful spots
in Rio de Janeiro, the Brazilian cap
ital, a magnificent building, the Mon
roe Palace, erected by the Brazilian
government In memory Of the famous
American President Of 1923.
Nothing can picture better this close
understanding and similarity of poll
tical principles between the United
States and Brazil than the fact that
Brazil was the only South American
nation to declare war on Germany,
soon after this country had done so.
and to fight in Europe beside the
American "Sammies" for 'the sake
of democracy" Two other republics,
Cuba and Panama, also declared war
on the central powers, but did not
actually send troops into the conflict,
as did Brazil. Nor did any other of
the South American countries par
ticipate in the conflict, though sew
eral Of them, like Bolivia, Peru and
Uruguay, severed relations with Ger
many.
Economic Bond Cited.
This strong spirit Of cooperation
which seems to govern In United
States-Brazilian relations has also
manifested itself in o more practical
and materialistic way, invading the
economic field and strengthening the
commercial bonds between the two
countries. Since the beginning Of
her independent existence, Brazil has
accorded to the United States prefer
ential tariff rates and commercial
facilities which, with the reciprocal
facilities conceded by the Union, have
done much to justify their friendship.
Statesmen Of the United States
have always shown themselves eager
to cultivate the warmest friendship
with Brazil, because they realize her
potentialities and the influence she
is bound to have, In the near future,
in world affairs. Just now, with her
40, ,000, 900 people, Brazil Is the most
populous nation that has arisen In
the past century and, obviously, the
most populous one in the Southern
Hemisphere. According to an esti-
mate made by an American of1cial
in Rio, at the present rate Of in
crease by 1850 there will be $1,000, 900
inhabitants In Brazil, and by 1860
a population Of l20, ,0o0, 900, the pres
ent population Of the United States.
The State Of Minas Geraes alone
accounts for over 5000, 900 people.
Only New York, among the States
Of the Union, has a larger population.
The state Of Sac Paulo, the richest
and most progressive one In Brazil,
has another 6,500,000 people, and the
southernmost state, Rio Grande do
Sui, has more people than its SOW
ereign neighbor, the Republic Of
Uruguay.
That Brazil Is country Of limit
less possibilities and has already at
tanned notable economic develop
ment is shown by the interest dis
played by the Roosevelt administra-
ton to bring about some sort of
commercial arrangement between the
United States and Brazil along re-
ciprocal lines. The name of Brazil
stands among the first In the list
of countries with which the Presi-
dent is willing to link the future
Of United States foreign trade.

IL NAL political conditions, in
terrupted since the 1880 rev.
Il Il olution, Brazil will celebrate
her national day next Friday
amid auspicious circumstances The
largest Latin American republic re-
Gently inaugurated Gen. Getulio
Vargas, the revolutionary leader Of
four years ago, as constitutional Pres
ident, and, soon before that, had
adopted a new charta magma en-
bodying important and liberal princi-
Piles Of modern social legislation.
Although Brazil has an area larger
than that of Continental United States
and a population Of some 10000, 600
people, 1t is a country scarcely known
in the United States. AS to all the
other Latin American nations, people
here have general idea, a mixture
Of tradition and legend. which one
finds in everyday experience. It is
known that those countries were dis
covered and conquered by Spain and
that from Spain they have derived
their culture, their civilization, their
customs. And cultured Americans
are familiar with Spanish civilization,
with all its traditions and romance.
Not Settled by Spain.
But with Brazil. it Is different.
Brazil is the only republic Of South
America which was not discovered or
settled by Spain. On her shores it
was not the Spaniards, but the
Portuguese, who landed with the
cross and banners of conquel rs at
the beginning of the sixteenth CEN
tury. For more than 800 years the
country was q Portuguese colony.
During the last century, at the same
time that the other Latin American
peoples won their independence from
the crown Of Spain, Brazil separated
herself from the rule Of Portugal and
began her independent life. This life
Of hers Is as closely modelled on
Portuguese ideas and customs as are
those of her neighbors on the customs
and ideas of Spain.
Brazil, then, is not included in that
tradition of Spanish inheritance and
Spanish legends, which most people
in the United States have in mind
when they talk of South America.
Such people wonder when they hear
1t said that among the Latin Amer
ican nations there is one where the
language is not Spanish; where no
one ever experiences the thrills Of a
bull fight, or has felt the romance
of those "old Spanish customs" so
popular in American movies and
novels. They wonder still more when
they are told that that country is
larger than the United States, and
has population as large as that of
all the other nations of South Amer
lea together.
Friend Of United States.
Yet, in spite of the lack Of knowl-
edge which exists here regarding
things Brazilian, Brazil is the best
friend Uncle Sam has in Latin Amer
lea. For more than q century the
Brazilian government, one of the most
powerful in that part of the world,
has eagerly approved and given moral
support to the foreign policies Of the
United States, standing by it even
when suspicion and criticism of the
big brother Of the north" were preva-
lent among the Latin American peo-
| Piles. When the Monroe Doctrine was

with jail. The same threat is being
made against Individual business men

offense, selling some commodity or
other at prize lower than N. r. A.

In America can a man be sent to
jail for this offense? ! am afraid I

stands, is it possible that in America
man should be sent TO jail for this
offense' For an action which, until
the New Deal, was regarded as a
virtue? VIII an average american
jury find him guilty? Will an average
American court. representative of its
community, actually sentence him to

II this can happen, then We have

Mr.. Roosevelt and private indus
