Measures taken by the Brazi- lian Government against Fifth Columnists are treated as aimed at Japan, in a dispatch to the "Asalii" from its Rio de Janeiro correspondent, who asserts they are adversely affecting Japanese trade and immigration,

He reports that Brazil, which hud hitherto been--in Ils view--strictly neutral in the struggle between de- mocratic and totalitarian States, is now adopting an unfriendly attitude toword Japan and enforcing mea-

to Japan's in- terests.

Among such measures the "Asah!" correspondent enumerules the export licence system, suspension of visas to foreigners, suppression of foreign- language newspapers and "aggres- sive" purchase of Brazilian cotton by Britain. The newspaper predicts that such measures must affect Japan's policy toward Brazil.

Believes China Victorious

for years past, when interviewed recently in Wellington, New Zealand.

Mr Donald, who has been observing China from close range ever since he left the Sydney "Daily Telegraph" back in 1903 to work in Hongkong was on his way to Tahiti to write his version of the years in which he has seen Far Eastern history made. He intends to covor events since the beginning of the century,

China, Mr Donald thinks, is on the crest of a wave, while Japan is descending into a trough of despair,
