Unit? ed States, as is now dope? The note was issued by a national bank of Brazil, Indiana,, but some' of the deputies evidently were not aware that such a city/ existed. "It appears that we are a colony,' observed one deputy. ??No, that is not possible." explain? ed Deputy F^erras. "We have some of our treasury note? printed by an American concern and probably there has been an exchange of plates." Another deputy described the case as- low: of "unnamable gravity." Deputy Frontln remarked that as the word Brasil on the note wan spelled with a "Z" it was one more reason why tho Qrastllan people should write their name of their own country correctly by spelling It with an "S** to avoid confusion. Scene time ago the minister of ftnanue issued an order that all nat? ional currency printed In this country should have the name spelled '"Bra? sil" which he declared was correct.
