When Portugal protested to the United States against Roosevelt' fireside chat hinting the seizure of the Azores, ' the Brazilian govern ment immediately got in touch with the U.

Ambassador CafTrey in Rio de Ja neiro immediately showed Foreign Minister Aranha a summary of our proposed reply, and Aranha volun teered to send Portugal exactly the same answer telling them it was vital to the safety of the Western hemisphere that the Azores be in, friendly hands, and that Brazil could not afford to see the islands taken! by the Axis. This message was sent: which means that Brazil will co-operate with the United States if and when' the time comes to occupy the Azores.
