BRAZILIAN LETTER
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
August 31st, 1942.
Dear Mr. Vining:
My last letter to you was ten
days ago. Brazil ^as not yet in
war! It was not much of a sur
prise, although we expected to
read of it the day after the ships
weije sunk. All leaves were can
celled and reservists called up
however, and I recalled only too
well these symptoms of war that
I had witnessed in 1939. On the
twenty-first all the Axis help was
fired from our hotel. It was at
lunch on the twenty-second, before
the news was printed that we
knew Brazil was at war. Our
waiter had informed us! He had
the same look of fury I had seen
m the eyes of the French waiter
! in France three years ago. This
Brazilian waiter is of the 1910
class and is waiting to be called
up. “It pleases me very much to
be a patriot”, he told me.
Indeed, there is a general feel
ing of patriotism such as I would
never have believed. These people
up to the day of those sinkings
of their ships had been so quiet
and happy-go-lucky. But under
neath the spirit of the Duke of
Caxias, the Marshall, pacificator,
unifcatoi] of Brazil, and founder
of the national unity is deep in
every true Brazilian’s heart. This
week the celebration of the cen
tenary of this great man’s work
seems more pertinent because
Brazil is now confronted again
by a grave outside menace against
which her pnimary weapon is the
’ spirit, the nationalism of her
people.
