If Brazil should take the lead

FROM MANY ANGLES

Brazilian leadership in any
American move to take over pro-
lection of the Azores is considered
by this government to be desirable
from many angles.
In the first place. it is felt II
would represent a striking exam
pie Of inter-American solidarity
and an unmistakeable warning TO
the aggressor nations of the de-
termination of the American RI.
publics to stand together in the
common defense of the Western
Hemisphere.
Secondly, il would. in the opin-
ion of this government, relieve the
United States of any charges of
Iharboring aggressive designs on
the Azores for imperialistic rea-
sons and would deal a devastating
blow TO the efforts Of German
propagandists in South America to
instill suspicion i'm the minds OF

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Ths
United States government. it was
learned today. wants Brazil to
take over protection of the Azores
the moment there appears any
danger of the Portuguese Atlantic
Islands falling into Nazi hands.
The United States has ap-
preached the Brazilian govern
ment on the subject through Dip
lomatic channels. and has pointed
out to Brazil the grave menace
which it believes Nazi occupation
of the Azores would mean to the
defense of the Western Henri
sphere.
MOST SUITABLE NATION
The position of this government
is that the Azores must be pre-
vented at all costs from falling
into German hands and that IL il
4
is found necessary to take over
the protection of the islands, Bra
I'll, because of the common bond
of heritage between the Brazilian
people and the Portuguese inhabi-
tants of the Azores, is the most
suitable nation among the Ameri-
can republics to do the job.
This government is willing to
pledge TO Brazil its full support,
Including any naval or military
assistance that may be required,
in any steps that country may
take TO establish a temporary pro-
Itectorate over the Azores in event
the Nazis move into Portugal or
otherwise threaten occupation Of

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Specu-
lation that President Roosevelt
and Prime Minister Winston

meeting at sea. spread through
Washington today.
Although nothing official either
in the way of denial or confirma-
ton could be obtained, il was
pointed our that not only Is Mr.
Roosevelt now somewhere on the
Atlantic on the yacht Potomac,
but that Churchill is also absent
from Parliament for unexplained
reasons.
indications that President
RooSevelt's vacation cruise was
not all vacation, came from the
yacht Potomac today when the
navy revealed that he had
spent some time" discussing af-
fairs with the communicating
chief of the Atlantic fleet, Rear
Admiral Ernest j. King.

How Churchill would meet the

lowed 10 go by the boards that
would be the ideal way for Chur-

Another factor bearing on the
speculation was the fact that
Harry Hopkins. Mr.. Roosevelts
special representative, has just re-
turned 10 London from conferences
with Josef Stain in Moscow-and
no doubt would be included in
such parley if one is actually under
way or in the making.

baSsy. when asked this morning if
he thought Churchill might be

THAT is too fantastic to even

1t was considered possible that
IL a meeting with Churchill had
been planned that Mr.. Roosevelt
might board United States

out TO sea and be joined by the

Mr.. Hill went to work for the COM

on leaving Williams College.

James B. Duke, became president
of the cut-down American Tobac-
co Co.
A decade later the World War
popularized cigarettes and each of
the big three companies put a can
didate in the field.
When he succeeded his father as
president in 1926, Mr.. Hill began an
unprecedented campaign of eXploita-
ton of Lucky Strikes. An advertis-

tobacco dealer, he has reputedly
spent more money advertising a sin

The garden of his estate at sub
urban Irvington is adorned with

and tobacco plants growing in flow

radio in every room of the house.
When he gets an idea at home he
has been known to start debating

She used to be his secretary and
is his third wife. By his two pre-
