Overview

Excerpt from Agricultural News, Vol. 15: A Fortnightly Review of the Imperial Department of Agriculture for the West Indies, January to December, 1916 Although these are the main proposals put forward, it is the first and last chapters of the book which touch upon the two vital questions of Brazilian policy of today; These are the Labour Question and the Monroe Doctrine. Brazil is hopelessly deficient in people in relation to her resources, and the people which she does possess are either oppressed or oppressors in one way or another. Mr Hamel Smith says: 'therefore use the indigenous stock to breed from, and in doing so improve the class of man and woman you require as ordinary labourers, peasant proprietors, etc.' We would add that moral tone of those in authority must also be improved. To effect a grading up it is suggested, as already stated, that Asiatics should be more extensively introduced, and the authors show in the course of their writings that Japan is fully alive to the demand for Skilled labour in Brazil, and that she has taken organized action in the matter. The authors say very little concerning the German influence in Brazil, assuming, we suppose, that this is at an end. Taken as a whole, the anthropological problems in Brazil are extremely complex, and will require the most careful consideration. The second great question is the effect of the Monroe Doctrine on the development of Brazil. This is a political matter with which we are not in a position to deal, but we gather from the book under review that many people in Europe, Brazil and the United States consider that its present day interpretation is a drawback to the United States and Latin America, and unfair to Europe.
