The Hitlerite Germans in Brazil are putting forth every effort to influence high governmental circles in favor of Hitler and his anti-Jewish methods.
Proof of this is to be found in the incident which occurred at a meeting of the municipal council of Bello Horizonte.

The motion aroused considerable and heated debate and was finally voted down by a majority vote.
