British opposition in an effort TO
bring the new brazilian Dictator

Government officials in Berlin
and Rome, rejoicing in the C2tab-

Italy and Japan.

Roosevelt Facing Struggle For Economy
BRAZILIAN BLOODLESS REVOLT
BRINGS FIRST OF FASCIST LIKE
GOVERNMENTS TO AMERICAS
Press, Radio, Movies Will
Lose Freedom "When
Necessity Demands"

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, Nov.
10. (UP) - President Gctulio
Vargas invested with complete
governing powers by an unevpcct-
cd coup d'ctat, yesterday began
formation of BraZil'S cooperative
statc--thc first faScist-likc gov
eminent in the western hcmiS.
phere. slt
The president began his labors
following his speech to the nation
in which he outlined his plans Of
government and announced indef-
mite suspension of foreign debt
payments until it is possible to
rcadjust them without bleeding
and impOvcrishing our economic
organism
The Foreign Exchange commits
sion also revealed officially a plan
to aid Brazilian foreign trade by
announcing that obligations to
deliver TO the Bank of Brazil a
percentage of export bills at the
official MchciS exchange rate
will be greatly reduced for cof-
fec and other export products. "
The announcement was believed
TO be tied up with the debt SER
vicing suspension, inasmuch as
the government now will require
much less foreign exchange.
The first action Of the president
whose term Of office was extend
cd indefinitely pending popular
approval of Wednesdays newly
promulgated constitution, was to
name new cabinet. The old one
resigned collectively to facilitate
composition of the government
organization"
All legislative bodies through
out the country already were dis
solved as a result of the coup
d'ctat.
Individual and property rights
arc guaranteed by the new consti-
tuition and a censorship of press,
radio and motion pictures is au-
thorized if public security re-
quircs it.
Constitutional amendments may
be proposed by the president or
either parliamentary chamber.
The new parliament will con.
sist of a chamber of deputies and
a federal council, the latter to
replace the senate. Parliament
may be dissolved, suspended or
prorrogucd by the president.
Most important addition to the
governing system is the new coun-
Gil Of national economy - cor
porative body along the lines Of
fascist corporations which are an
inherent part Of the Italian fas-
cist scheme of government. The
council will be divided into sec
tions such as industry, agricul-
ture, commerce, transport and
credit, with representatives Of en-
ployers and workers.
The council will have legisla-
tive authority in all matters with
i'm it's competence.

JAPAN PLANS
FULL CONTROL
OVER CHINESE
Notice Is Served Nation Of
400 Million to Come
Under Domination
BY EARL LEAF
Copyright, 1887, United Press)

SHANGHAI, Nov. ~. up
Japan completed her conquest of
Shanghai today in an appalling
weller of blood and flames and
served notice on Britain, the Unit
cd States and other democratic
powers that she intends to crush
all anti-Japancsc elements in Chi
ma and swing the 400,000,0O0 pco-
pie Of this nation into Japanese
dominated group of ASiatic ma
tionS.
Indicative of Japan's determi-
nation to press forward in Cen
trail China to smashing vic
tory" the Chinese said that 80
new japanese troop transports ar
rived today off WooSung, north
of Shanghai, with $4,000 rein
forcements for the japanese ar
mics in this area.
A Chinese army spokesman adj
mited that all Chinese troops have
been ordered to leave the Nantao
area of the native city and that
Chinese resistance in the imme-
date vicinity of Shanghai has
ended.
Huge fires still burned around
nearly one-half the foreign areas
of the city and there still was
sporadic fighting as grim Japan
csc infantrymen moppcd up Chi,
nese stragglers but the general
warfare which has made all
Shanghai a city of horror since
mid-August was at an end.
A Japanese spokesman announe-
ed that Nanziang, 10 miles west
of the International settlement
was captured last night, and that
Nantao was quiet except for iso-
lated fighting on the Nantao bund
where small Chinese groups were
still resisting.
More important than the Jap
anesc victory to the United States
and other powers represented here
was a declaration by Japanese
commander, Lieut.. Gen. lwane
Matsui, that Japan now is master
of the Shanghai area and intends
to enforce her will in the Anglo
American and other areas of the
city as we'll as in the regions she
has conquered.
The general told newspaper
men, in effect, that Japan now
expects the powers to recognize
her victory and to grant her full
cooperation in the suppression of
the anti Japanese movement
