POLITICAL PARADE
BY GEORGE ROTHWELL BROWN

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15-One
w day in 1862 bonfires blazed
in the streets Of London, as
Charles III escorted TO Hampton
Court-where the Lady Castle
maine was about TO have an
other of her royal brats-his
new queen, poor little Catherine
of BraganZa, who had been
taken from a nunnery TO be set
down in the midst of the most
disSolute court in Europe.
Thus did the merry monarch
lay the groundwork for another
of Mr.. Winston Churchills dip
lomatic triumphs, $50 years
later.
For Catherine of Braganza
brought 10 her new home by
way of dowery, Tangier, Bonn
bay and 100000 pounds cash,
and the beginning of an alliance
between Portugal and England
which has just resulted in the
Azores deal.
THE alliance in fact only
l. dates from the Methuen
Treaty of 1903, in which Portu-
gueSe wines were given a pref
erence over French wines, thus
laying the foundation of a
famous British institution, the
govt.
Mr.. Churchill dates the slli-
ance back TO 1873, and no doubt
the prime minister is as good an
historian as he is soldier,
statesman and newspaper re-
porter. But a good deal hap
pened to Portugal during the
Fourteenth Century, when most
of the time she was submerged
in Spain.
A map of 1851 shows that the
Portuguese people had-reached
the Azores by that year, but the
nation did not take possession
of them until 1882.
BY the treaty of 1903. Portu-
kdt DtIdAlit NRllllilCi NldllN ut~
pendent on England, became,
indeed in effect an English naval
base. and although it was de-
signed as a base against Spain,
which did not recognize Portu-
'guese independence until 1868, it
was actually twice used as a
base against France.
THIS was a bit of the irony Of
Il history, for the marriage of
Catherine and Charles had been
cunningly planned by Louis XIV
and Lord Clarendon, the for
mer because he wanted TO use
his ally Portugal against Spain,
and the latter because il was
unmored Catherine could have
no children-whlch afterwards
