Brazil Holds
Up Payment to

RIO DE JANEIRO. Oct. SI. im
France, considering further de

aay.
Brazil withheld payment of an
installment on her debt to French
bankers, and It was understood
future payment dates also would
oe ignored.
At least. It was added, Braiil
will not pay anything furtber
until "the French decree regu
lating the disposition of proceeds
from Brasilian exportation" Is
revoked.
Thus Brazil took a second step
in reprisal for French compul
sory exchange equalization. Bra
zil already had doubled tariffs
on import! from France.
Today s scheduled payment
was ,4i,ooo. francs.
the sum waa due on a pre
war loan.
