[Footnote 52:  Political propaganda literature intended to lead the unwary to draw different conclusions has been copiously spread before the public during the last decade.  Whatever the ideas on the subject may be in foreign countries, the German Brazilians themselves are the only ones who can speak on it with authority.  Strange to say, they never seem to be consulted or studied at first hand by those who speak most loudly about the “German peril” in Brazil.  Porto Alegre, Blumenau, Joinville and Curityba can furnish more accurate information on this particular subject than Berlin, Paris, London and New York.]
