Portugal and the Allies : a Message to Great Britain.

By A. G. Loraine. (Hazen, Watson, and Viney.)—Mr. Loraine confirms the view taken by a contributor to a recent issue of the Spectator that the new Portuguese Government under President Sidonia Pees is far more representative of the nation and far more loyal to the Allies than the Democratic Administration which it overthrew in December last. The Portuguese Democrats, according to Mr. Loraine, were as tyrannical and as pro-German in their sympathies as the Bolsheviks, and their professions of loyalty to the old British Alliance were doing us harm in Portugal.
