Highlights of his statements are.
these: ‘ : |
He is anxious for good rela
tions with the United States. He
never subseribed to the policies
or {0 the political views of Hitler
and Mussolini and he condemns
their persecutions. Spain is devel
oping along her own lines, unin
fluenced by either Germany or
Italy, and he (Franco) is heading
for absolute democratic rule by
the people. : |
As for the hotly debated ques
tion of a return of the Spanish
monarchy, he says:.“lt will be ap
proached when this is suitable to
the interests of the nation. When
this time comes, it will have to
be the Spaniards themselves who
pronounce themselves in its fa
vor.” :
What happened about our
meeting was this: The Generalis
simo rarely gives interviews, and
in granting my request for one
asked that I submit my questions
in advance. This I did, and when
I arrived at his residence —the
fine old royal palace at El Pardo
near Madrid — I had little hope
that T should get more than for
mal replies to my written quer
-I€eß.
Trys Persistence
However, there’s no good hav
ing Scotch blood in your veins
unless it means persistence. So,
while awaiting’ my summons in
the truly regal reception room,
amidst the Goya tapestries and
other priceless treasures, I decid
ed I should try for a more open
.and intimate discussion of Spain’s
problems.
I was encouraged in this decis
ion by the most cordial greeting
of the Generalissimo when I was
ushered into his private room.
Accordingly, when we had
disposed of the formal queries
and answers, I said to him: “If it
is permissible I should like to
ask another question. It’s a very
blunt one, and my sole purpose
in putting it is to provide an op

portunity for an answer which
may help relations between our|
two countries.”
El Caudillo gave me a ques
tioning glance but nodded acqui
escence and I hung my question
on the line: -
“The people of the United
States have fought a great war
against Nazism and Fascism.
Thousands of our boys have died
for this cause. Rightly or wrong
ly the American public feels that
Spain was in effect an ally of
Germany and Italy, and it finds
it hard to forgive that. Did you
subscribe to or support Nazi and
Fascist policies?”
The Generalissimo shook his
head.
“No,” he declared categorically.
“I did not. Spain wasn’t influen
ced by Germany and Italy, but
has been developing along its own
lines. We condemned all the per
secutions which were carried out
by those countries. There was no
racial trouble in Spain. The Jews
weren't persecuted here, nor was
any other religion. There is re
ligious freedom for all in Spain.”
“Do you subscribe to the polit«
ical views of Hitler and Musso
-lini?” I persisted.
He replied emphatically that hel
did not, and then said in amplifi
cation:
Proceed Carefully
“Spain went fhrough a bad
civil war, and after such a con
flict the country must proceed
carefully. It can’t jump to an
other regime haphazardly.
“But I would call attention to
the fact that the Cortes has been
functioning for three years. The
government doesn’t make the
laws. All the laws which the
government recommends go to
the Cortes for consideration and
possible passage. The Cortes must
discuss the measures for at least
two months, and frequently its
consideration runs much longer.
1f I, as Chief of State, have a
measure which I want to see put
into effect, I have to take it to
the Cortes for approval.” |
“Does this mean that you are
headed for absolute rdemocracy,
that is, rule by the people?”
“Yes,” answered Kl Caudilio.
“But we must proceed slowly,
step by step, until the people ar¢
properly prepared.”

(Substituting for James Marlow) l
WASHINGTON, Jan.,, 24 —'
(AP) — The :government callsl
its warborn insurance “one of
the greatest bargains in the
world.” Yet only one out of five
servicemen keeps his policy in

' Tae Veterans' Administration,
lbenevmg the percentage too low, |
i announced today it will place |
| “insurance teams” in discharge
centers to collect premiumg and
encourage veterans to keep their
poelicies.
Ninety-five per cent of all
servicemen bought policies dur
ing World War 11. The govern
ment received 18,375,000 appli
cations for $143,000,100,000 worth
of insurance. The ivtal of appli

l Officials said the peak figure
for insurance actwaliy in force
I probably wag reached in Septem
ber, 1945, when it stood about
$120,000,000,000. They estimated
this may have dropped to around
$90,000,000,000 today.
