NO JAPANESE BRIDES WILL 60 T0 BRAZIL Two Hundred Thousandi Nipponese Farmers | Must Look Elsewhere ‘ | TOKYO, July 19.—After six weeks | of trying, Japan has abandoned plans to train 30,000 girls to be the brides of Japanese farmers living in Brazil. | The girls, it seems, have all been | wooed and won by Manchoukuo. Two months ago, the manager of a Japanese trading company in Bra- zil returned to Tokyo bearing a sad tale about the plight of the Japan- ese farmers who have settled along the banks of the Amazon River. He said at least 200,000 of them are bachelors, condemned to empty homes and a life of loneliness. As a remedy, he suggested a “Bra- zilian brides’ school” and with char- acteristic energy, Tokyo authorities set, about at once to organize the in- stitution, modelling it along the lines of schools already in opera- tion.

For the time being, though, the 200,000 Japanese bachelors will have to bear their burdens aloné. Authorities said that the number of girls interested in going to Brazil as too few to make the school hwhile. They prefer Manchou- pite the bl rds and the The pri al reason is that it is closer to Japan. A visit to the homeland is more feasible.
