that with respect to Japan, Brazil
is now in the same position that
Russia is Russia, ally of the other
United Nations against the Euro
pean Axis, is neutral toward Japan.
Mr.. Martins said:
Germany and Italy are the ag-
gressor powers who have attacked
Brazil"
Jefferson Caffery, American Am
bassador to Brazil, was on his way
back from Washington to his post
in Rio when the war declaration
came. He is expected to arrive in
the Brazilian capital in a few days,
bearing letter given him by Presi-
dent Roosevelt Thursday to take to
President Vargas.
The step by the government in
Rio de Janeiro represented a trl-
umph for American diplomacy-not
that the United States deliberately
egged Brazil into war with Ger
many, but the United States began
a campaign more than five years ago
to win Brazil's firm friendship at a
time when Germany was trying to
make Brazil an economic vassal
of the Reich.
Demonstrations of our Under
standing of Brazil's problems, literal
use of loans, cooperation in de-
veloping Brazils natural resources
and industrial potentialities and the
far sighted statemanship OF Senor
Aranha, now the Brazilian foreign
minister, made it possible for the
United States and not Germany
to become the chief foreign in
| fluence IN Brazil.
Coming Around to Solid Front.
Senator Russell, Democrat, OF
Georgia, who is member OF the
Naval Affairs Committee, said it is
gratifying to know that the Amer
icas are coming around to solid
front" adding:
| Decent governments everywhere
are realizing they can't live In the
same world with those Axis thugs
! and bandits. We welcome Brazil and
we'll stick together until the final
victory"
The people of Brazil realize that
the full support of the United States
is behind Brazil" Gen Bittencourt
said when he called the meeting OF
the Inter American Defense Board
for Monday morning. They know
this BECAUSE of the support they al
ready have received from the United
States.

CHUNGKING, Aug. 22.-The
recapture Of Yushan and Ying-
tun in Kiangsi Province has ex-
tended the Chinese hold on the
middle section of the Chekiang-
Kiangsi railway to a width of
80 miles, the Chinese Central
News Agency declared today.
The agency noted that the oc-
cupation of these cities as well as
of Shanghai, Kweiki and Kwang-

feat never before accomplished by
the Chinese.

Chekiang-Kia Railway. Ying-
tun, 10 miles southeast of Nanchang
the Japanese base in Kiangsi, and
10 miles north of Kweiki, represents
the westernmost recovery of the line
by the Chinese.
Yushan, meaning Jade Mountain
was formerly the site of an important
Chinese airfield which the japanese
considered real advance base for
air attacks on Japan proper, the
agency said. 1t is only about five
miles from the Chekiang border ir
Kiangsi Province and is the eastern
most advance of the Chinese in
fighting for the railroad.
With Chinese occupation the towr

Were I'll Advised

With the aid of the Secret Serv-
ice, the White House yesterday
cleared itself of charges made by
Chief Afraid Warden William j.
Mileham that it had been the
source OF advance tips on last
weeks surprise blackout.
Presidential Secretary Stephen

ter Mr.. Mileham brought letter
to Mr.. Early saying he had been

"leak." The three men fatty de-
MED, when interviewed by Secret
agents. that they at any time had
said to Mr.. Mileham or anyone else
that the White House was dlfectly
responsible for advance notice OF
the blackout, Mr. Early said,
One of the three men, according
to Mr.. Early, said he did not speak
to Mr.. Mileham until the day after
the blackout. The warden chief
had said he received the informa-
ton at deputy warden meeting
the night of the blackout.
In his letter to Mr.. Early, the
warden chief said. 'the only in
ference l can draw is that the re-
ports to me have not been sub
stantiated and hence my remarks
were ill-advised"
He remarked in his letter that he
had placed no stress on the White
House when he made his accusa-
tions, but had merely listed it
along with several other agencies.
After his own investigation and
that of the Secret Service, he con-
cluded: 1T was found that no de-
finite information regarding the
origin of the report could be deter
mined"
