In a note sent to the German and Italian governments declar ing that the state of belligerency exists, Brazil carefully pointed out she had exhibited great toler ance and peaceful intentions be fore the attacks on the five ves sels off her coast. Then the note concluded: "There is no ,way to deny that Germany and Italy practiced war acts against Brazil, creating a be- ligereht situation which -we are forced to recognize in defense of our dignity anil sovereignty," our safety and that of America, and to repel it as our forces are able.' Japan, which obviously could not have been involved direct ly in the sinkings, was not men tioned in thewar declaration al though Brazil broke diplomatic relations with all three of the axis nartners last January 29, Among the Brazilians lost in the attacks were 169 officers and men from a Brazilian army trans port.
