SAO PAULO, Brazil, Sept. 13: University students and studenti from other schools of hlghez learning In the State of Soa Paulo have formed a National Students Union which has a. program of national tind International action Democracy and Pan-Americanism are two of the main planks in thf platform of this new jentlty which also proposes to study national problems as well as. those of primary interest 'to"' the student classes. With respect to democracy, the NSU announced as its aim . tht preservation of democratic prlncl' pies, traditions deep-rooted In Bra zil, warning the students directly and the people Indirectly, of thf dangerous Ideologies which threaten the sovereignty of Brazil. Back of this 1$.. the greate: awareness of the plans and Ideals ?f the totalitarian states and a wave of indignation against thf. ecent "racism" of Italy, a phast af Italian Fascism which man Tatln Americans have been Inclin ed to look upon with some favoi but which most realize cannot be imported Into Latin America and esreclally into Brazil without grave consequences. The students alsc Vl'eve the new racial ideals o! Italy bring out the true significance of Fascism and thus under line its. unsultabillty ?tBraziliair conditions. They have taken ad-vantage of a lull in the activities of the "New States" in Brazil, with its semi-Fascist ideas, in order tc plead for a return to the demo era tic regime to which Brazil was accustomed. Other Groups Active This Union is not the only activity of its sort. Workers in tht Department of Immigration and Colonization have foundedqa "So clety for the Study of Braziliar. Problems." The main ideas are to stud iroblems of Brazil and the plact of Brazil In world affairs. Faced by a situation of intense interna', '.dn fusion and troubled by a world ituation which seems even mon -onfused, younger Brazilians are buckling down to objective studies of themselves" and the world about them.

It is, however, too, a reaction to I the propaganda of totalitarian states. Their stream of scholari and articles on social and political problems, whose purpose has been to lead Latin-American minds to totalitarian solution of national and International problems, has produced the rpsult of focusing Latin-American opinion on the existence of these problems, on techniques for solving them, but to a large extent on other than totalitarian solutions.
