A clash between Paraguay and |Brazil occurred in March, when | Brazilian soldiers expelled the Para- guayan garrison from the island of Margarita in the Parana river, op- |posite the Brazilian fort of Porto |Martinho. The Paraguayan govern- jment demanded the immediate jevacuation of the island by the Bra- |zilians and pointed out that the Paraguayan ownership of this island recognized by Brazil in a treaty signed last year both countries. To this the Brazilian government ‘answered that as the Paraguayan Congress had not yet ratified the treaty, the question of the owner- ship of this island was not final and that the Paraguayans should not , have occupied that island in the first place. After a few weeks, however, the incident was closed by mutual apologies and by the with- drawal of the Brazilians who defi- jnitely recognized the Paraguayan ownership. Colombia-Brazil.

Parallel with the development a pol of reaction by the Iri- yen government, it pursues the y of corrupting the labor move- nent. Thus, for instance, in Cor- icba, the delegates of the Provin- sial Labor Union, who were mem- ‘s of the Communist Party, were deported to remote places, removed several days by train. These com- yvades had arrived in the province of Cordoba to direct agricultural strikes. At the same time the chiefs of police and government delegates cffered their mediation to the work- ers of the villages, trying to per suade them to break with the “agi tators and men who enjoy life at the expense of the workers,” they “should not allow outsiders to meddle in their affair: Whenever the workers showed themselves will- x to accept this government medi- tion, the latter tried to obtain frorn | the employers some concessions.
