...Foreign Minister Oswaldo Aranha of Brazil accepted an invitation from President Roosevelt to visit Washington next month. Subjects for talk: trade, continental defense, Dictators. In any picture of the Dictators fostering a totalitarian state in South America, Brazil looms first and largest because its undeveloped areas are widest, its German and Italian populations powerful.
