Whether Brazil will supplement her sction by a formal declaration of war is not known here, and by some, officials auch action is regarded a doubtful, because the Government at Rio de Janeiro is inclined to regard its action rather defensive than aggressive. For ther present it is believed, Brazil's part. will be adequately done if she contributes to the safety of southern seas and to the movement to Europe of foodshus.

The decision of Brazil not to operate in waters off Argentina is due, it is understood, to desire not to give un- offence to the Government of necessary Argentina and also because British wars abic are operating in the vicinity of the Falkland Islands, off the Argentine coast. Hope is still felt at the State Department that the Argentine Govern- ment yet may join the war for world democracy. This is indiated by despatches from Buenos Aires, which say that it is regarded by some there as merely a question of time before Argen- tina will adopt a course similar to that of Brazil.
