THE Fascism in 11 1 MAS DECREES CORPORATE STATE OF FASCIST TYPE Italian - German - Japanese Anti-Communism Pact Involves Brazil. (Continued from Page 1). gal by Cabral tn 1500. Following European revolutions of 1S20, Brazil threw off the Portugese yoke to gain independence with a Portugese prince as its own mon arch. The last vestiges of slavery were cast of in 1888, and in 1891 the country was declared a re public with a constitution modeled on that of the United States. A federal system with 20 provinces and one federal district was in augurated. Full separation of church and state a.id freedom of religion, altho the great majority of Brazilians are Catholics, was established. Seven-eighths of People Ignorant. 'Since the founding of the re public Brazil has had its full share of armed risings and civil wars," declared Lord James Bryce, emin ent British historian in 1912. "Democratic principles have been proclaimed in the broadest terms (in Brazil), but thinking men see, and even unthinking men cannot but dimly feel, that no govern ment, however good its intentions, can apply such principles in a country where seven-eighths of the people are ignorant, and one half of them belong to backward races, unfit to exorcise political rights." When the last census was taken in 1920 the percentage of illiterates stood between 70 and 80. Assuming again the prophetic role, Bryce stated, "it is vain to expect a constitution closely mod eled on that of the United States to work smoothly in Brazil." Remembering Bryec's words one would not have been surprised to hear last week the announcement made by the Brazilian minister of justice, Campos, that powers un equaled in all Latin America were to be given the president of Brazil under a fascist form of govern ment. Brazil's new government is modeled closely on that of Portu gal, which is now under a semi dictatorship. President Vargas, whose regular term under the old constitution would expire next July, announced shortly after the change he would serve six years. Hailed as Fascist Victory. The governmental shake-up in South America was hailed in Ger many and Italy as a fascist vic tory and served as a source of tin official disappointment in W'ash ii.gton. Immediately following the disturbing, announcement observ ers began to consider the possi bility of Brazil going up with the other fascist nations of the world, and also the possibility of further spread of fascism on the South American continent. Natnaniil Weyl in the Nation warned, "A fascist Brazil, moreover, could ex pand its political system outward into the dictator ridden adjacent countries and smash to pieces President Roosevelt's ideal of a Western Hemisphere living in peace and democracy." Wallace Deuel, Boston Evening Transcript correspondent in Ber lin, wrote, "In South America their (Nazi) objective is to enlist new recruits for Germany, Italy and Japan in the crusade against communism.

TO,? this drive, and the Nazis count on Brazil formally joining forces with the fascist triple alliance in the near future." Neither Fascist Nor Integral. President Vargas met these ac cusations with a firm denial. He even said that the new govern ment was "neither fascist nor in tegral." Kirke L. Simpson, Asso ciated Press writer declared: "There is no disposition to chal lenge the Brazilian spokesmen who describe the move of Presi dent Vargas as neither fascist nor communistic in trend, but designed to restore ultimately a democratic basis of ratification of the new constitution. There is small fear that any alignment of Brazil with the Gcrman-Italian-Japancac anti communism pact may lollow." To quiet American fears Presi dent Vargas pledged Ihfit "under the new regime Brazil would strive for further development ot the traditional friendly relations with the United States" "Mow ever," he said, "there is not the slightest doubt that the new re gime gives battle without quarter to the communistic threat both in doctrine and in force." Chcptics re called that Italy had pledged her continiied friendship t" Britain when Mussolini took over control but that the Mediterranean crises came nevertheless. Germany Smuggles in Weapons.

Standards of fsrniality in after dark appard for the well dressed man have stiffened considerably in the past few years, and strictly speaking, the tailcoat is an abso lute requirement for scores of so cial functions. Defined more spe cifically, the time when the tail coat is strictly called for is "after dark, when ladies are present." The dinner jacket, or tuxedo as it is often known, is generally ac ceptable before the social season is officially launched, and even without dancing, or where only men are to be present. Neither the dinner jacket or topcoat is correct before 6 o'clock, of course. Tails Taper Gracefully. Tailcoats this year tend toward a lower front with a natural waist line. Coats also have lower waist line seams in the back allowing the coats to fit more snugly, and the tails taper away gracefully, but not too abruptly, to fall not more than a fraction of an inch below the kjiees. The most pop ular color tor this season's tail coats seems to be midnight blue, while lapels of black, fine ribbed grosgrain are definitely meeting with favor. Dull, fine barathea silk lapels are also very good. growing steadily in Brazil. Ger many has been bidding strongly for Brazilian trade by means of subsidized exports. This move has only recently been checked, and then only partially, by Cordell Hull's reciprocal trade treaty with Brazil. Japan also has been increasing its Brazilian trade greatly, all at the expense of the United States. A look at Ameri can investments in Brazil showed over one-half a billion dollars, of which about f350,00O,OO0 is in Rrazilian e-ovprnmnt Hinr1 Thi Enelish investment is twice as I large. The new constitution provides for two houses. The lower house, the remaining mainstay of democ racy in Brazil is to be chosen by a system of indirect election through electors. Its functions are limited to passing on laws pro posed by the president. The upper house may veto laws passed by the lower house. No longer are members of the legislature immune to arrest for criticizing the gov ernment from the assembly floor. The state and local governments are brought under control of the central government. Newspapers and publications are to be put un der a strict system of supervision and foreign banks have been given a specific time in which to settle their affairs and leave the coun try. II Duce Defines Fascism. Now that fascism has come so close to the United Stales it might be well to inquire "what is fas cism?" We have turned to Benito Mussolini's statement of fascism published in the Political Quarter ly. (This is a brief restatement of the main principles stated in his lengthy article, i Fascism believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace, repudi ates the equation 'well being equals happiness," which would reduce men to the level of animals, de nies that the majority, simply be cause it is the majority, can di rect human society, denies the un truth of political equality dressed out in the garb of collective ir responsibility, opposes absolute monarchy, demands a party which entirely governs the Mate, con ceived of the state as an absolute, in comparison with which all in dividuals or groups are relative, only to be conceived of in their relation to the state, meets prob lems of economic nature by a sys tem of syndicalism (which is in short economic government by means of trade unions.) and holds B I G WEEK Lucy'i on the Loote In the funniest picture ever mode . . .

Trousers, in most cases, carry two narrow braids set closely at the sides. The most popular models of coats have extra fullness in the shoulder blades and backs, as well as over the chest, the former fea ture being an incorporation of the British Blade style. Incidentally, the breast pocket has been elim inated, contributing to a better fit and avoiding the possibility of the coat standing away from the chest. Long Roll Lapel. Reflecting a shift in public fa vor, lapels of tailcoats are no long er the short and stubby things of a few seasons past. Instead the preference of most men for a lapel that rolls with an easy naturalness in a graceful curve has been fol lowed. And the opening in the front of the tailcoats now forms an almost straight line in contrast to the short, close V of the tailcoats of a few seasons ago, while the coats come down in front far enough to cover completely the waistcoat. Sleeves strike a new note with false cuffs. Single breasted dinner packets with ribbed peak lapels are being shown this year for the tuxedo outfit. With a slightly lesser de gree of formality, one may also wear a double breasted midnight blue dinner jacket with satin fac ing. an attitude of complete opposition to the doctrines of liberalism and respects religion as it exists. Explaining further, Mussolini says "if democracy means a state of society in which the populace are not reduced to impotence in the state, then fascism may write itself down as an 'organized, cen tralized and authorative democ racy'. Under fascism the individual is deprived of all useless and pos sibly harmful freedom, but re tains what is essential." In the interest of the individual the "state guarantees security both internal and external."

Beethoven is better known for his more formal music for symphony and quartette, but this overture, taken from his only ballet, is graceful and charming, more after the manner of Mozart. The Brahms "Symphony in D major" is one of a series which represent th first successful us age of symphonic form by a ro mantic composer. Tho most stu dents of music consider Brahms' compositions anything but ro mantic in their formality, yet this symphony has such a cheerful mood as to earn the name of "Sun shine Symphony."

The reason well, as one of them said when inter viewed, "We're doing it as a boy cott against Japanese made goods, as a protest against Japanese in vasion of China.
