Revolt of Last Summer
Still Disturbs Brazil
1 RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. 14.—All of
southern Brazil is still under a state
of seige. President Arthur Bernar
des has signed a decree extending to
April 30 the special form of federal
control which the Brazilian eonstitu
! tion authorizes in times of internal
revolt. The states included in the
extension are Rio de Janeiro, Sao
Paulo, Matto Grosso, Parana, Santa
' Cathrina, Rio Grande do Sul and the
’ federal district in the south and Am
azonas, Para and Sergipe in the north
■ part of the country.
These measures are not to be con
fused with martial law, and should
not convey the idea that business is
necessarily interrupted. According
to a recent opinion written by Dr.
. G. Natal, a justice of the Federal Su
preme Court, "the state of seige tem
porarily suspends the constitutional
prerogatives guaranteeing individual
liberty in normal times, authorizing
the arrets and detention of partici
pants in internal disturbances which
the state of siege is intended to
check.”
The federal government since July
of last year, has censored newspapers
and foreign press associations, ar
rested and detained without trial a
number of private citizens as well as
army and navy men, and appointed
a dictator for Amazonas at the re
quest of the people in that state.
