S. stand at Havana, before going home to Rio de Janeiro to report to his chief, Getulio Vargas. If Senhores Vargas and Nabuco have their way, the best U. S. South American neighbor will be Brazil...
...Getulio. Dictator-President Getulio Dornelles Vargas hopes his delegate will also be able to tell him that the U. S. people understand he is their firm and lasting friend.

The Buenos Aires Critica thought differently, headlined its report of the speech: VARGAS, WITH FASCIST LANGUAGE, JUSTIFIES THE AGGRESSION OF THE BARBARIANS. In Washington, the State Department refused to get excited, intimated that Getulio was talking for domestic consumption. That was what the Brazilian Press & Propaganda Department said. Getulio himself assured the President by cable that his speech could "in no sense be regarded as contradictory" to the Charlottesville address...
