Untitled[edit]

I am a great fan of Monteiro Lobato and have read all his books for children and some of his works for grownups. In reading his biography at WIKIPEDIA, I found fault with the statement that he was strongly in favour of the Brazilian federal government's establishing a state oil monopoly. It is easy to check on this by reading his book "The Petroleum Scandal". As a matter of fact, he had started himself a company for oil exploration and was very much at odds with the Vargas government because public officials at the National Department of Mines strived to prevent his company from developing its business. Lobato was an admirer of the US, where he had been Commercial Attaché during the administration that preceded Vargas' and was totally in favour of private initiative. I did not want to edit the article lest its author could feel abused or overstepped.

"His copyright is due to expire in 2008." ==> Not 2018? He died 1948, + 70= 2018!?? --Sei Shonagon 18:58, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This man was an eugenicist[edit]

This article has many failures.To exemple, this article claims that Petrobras was founded in 1952, but it was in fact founded in 1953.Even worse failures of this article, came it forgets that this brazilian was also, an eugenicist.

About oil, he really tried to found a company for oil exploration, but it was a complete failure.Monteiro Lobato really knew nothing about oil geology.This company using shares bought from dumb brazilians, perfurated some oil wells in Brazil, but any single drop oil was found.This company went to bankurapcy.He was put under arrest, not because of political views, but because of this oil company, that stole many money from dozens of brazilian dumbs.Agre22 (talk) 13:38, 17 June 2008 (UTC)agre22[reply]

The brazilian (in portuguese) site [[1]] has informations about the link between Monteiro Lobato and eugenics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Agre22 (talk • contribs) 12:22, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah you are right. He also wrote a book called in english "The Black President" in this book a black guy wins the elections in usa but in the end of the book the whites criate a final solution to the black problem and the white race win. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.53.160.122 (talk) 21:09, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Although I keep being a great fan of Lobato, I have to acknowledge these criticisms about his racist position. However I thimk this does not detract from his overall intelectual valour and entrepreneurial initiative. Martins —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.19.210.161 (talk) 01:54, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Martins. But I believe the "Black President" issue should be made into the article. Ricardo Dirani (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 12:39, 23 January 2011 (UTC).[reply]
