During those six years Dr. Ried busily administered the second phase of Nazi penetration by setting up some 1,000 Nazi schools in the province of Rio Grande do Sul, coaxing 58,000 German and Brazilian small fry into the classes. But Brazilian patience finally cracked, and by this summer Dr. Ried received his walking papers...

A number of Yankee exporters who, after the war began, rushed to get into the South American trade, failed to take the precaution of hiring Brazilian agents with references from U. S. firms.

While Major Alencastro Guimaraes negotiated for railroad materials, Brazil tightened its ties with the democracies by concluding a pact permitting Britain to buy from Brazil without transfer of currency.
