A Brazilian diplomat proposed today that Brazil offer to take in a large proportion of the Arab refugees for settlement in the Amazon River region along with Brazilian colonists.

Carlos Dunshee de Abranches, Brazilian representative on the United Nations Human Rights Commission, made the proposal in an article in Jornal do Brasil. He called on Israel and those members of the United Nations who contribute to the support of the refugees, to set up a fund to finance the resettlement of the refugees in Brazil.
