CHINESE INVADE SIAM. Peking, China. Following a rapid, unexpected, and unpopular nationalization and mobilization of Chinese private industry, the Chinese military has invaded French Indochina and given support to Vietnam. Though the nationalization of industry has outraged the newly formed capitalist class of China, especially with the loss of of much of their profits, the military forces have put their massive potential to good use. The arrival of Chinese forces has overwhelmed the miniscule French garrison in the region, destroying what French forces remained there to quell the Vietnamese uprising. However, the French army was bolstered by the arrival of a large German detachment to assist with the destruction of the Vietnamese. The Germans managed to slow down the Chinese assualt through the quality of their weapons and training, though they were oft overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of the Chinese forces. Over one million Chinese soldiers have poured into Indochina to fight the European colonial forces. In addition, the Chinese army is no longer the disorganized and poorly armed force it was a year ago. The development of Chinese aircraft and advanced artillery as well as increased training which has taken place since 1912 has given the Chinese military almost equality in quality with the German Empire. The remnants of the German expeditionary force has fled into the fortresses at Singapore.

As the world, technology, and society progress, the people of Brazil must change along with the rest of humanity. As the party of progress, we Liberals must support ever increasing equality and liberty. Thus, we must not only support the voting rights of the women of age, we should also allow minorities the same rights as native Brazilians as they themselves are becoming Brazilian. Therefore, the Liberal Party will now present and support national legislation to extend voting rights to minorities and women in our country.
