Silveiro Bueno, well-known Brazilian journalist and associate editor of the influential daily Diaria de Sao Paulo, has caused considerable comment in Brazilian circles, where his opinions carry weight, with a series of articles opposing the denials of Jewish persecution in Germany which the local German newspapers have been printing.

In order to lessen the influence of the Bueno articles, the Nazified Germans have been coming out with personal attacks on the writer, accusing him of having been bought out by the Jews.

A group of local young men is planning a dinner in honor of Dr. Bueno as an expression of appreciation of his courageous defense of the Jews.

In Porto Allegra, Henry Ford’s book, “The International Jew”, has been published in Portuguese translation by the local Hitlerites as part of their propaganda campaign against Jews. The publicity accompanying the book is unusual in that it is years since so much has been done to make any one book known. The committee of Jewish institutions, organized to fight all anti-Jewish expression, is expending every effort to have the book withdrawn from sale.

A Hitlerist organization which a considerable number of local Germans joined has been organized in Ponto Grasso (in the state of Ria Grande ## Sul), where a large number of German have settled.
