Spain to Become Totalitarian State When Rebels Win, Says Franco

(Continued from Page One)

opinion in the United States, I am addressing the following inquiries to vou personally and will be appreciative of a frank expression of your | views on the following, representing some of the most frequently raised questions: QUESTION: “Are you personally a proponent of fascism? And, in the event of vour victory, will Spain become a Fascist or totalitarian state?” | Attitude on Fascism | ANSWER: “I am an admirer of the way in which fascism has stemmed the advance of commu- | nism in many countries, and there | can be no doubt that in evolving a | corporate state, increasing the efficiency of administration and ex- | acting from citizens the fulfillment | their duties toward the nation as a whole, fascism has contributed to modern political science theories capable of practical development and therefore of the highest value |

with reference to Spain “And when the victory have absolute confidence crowns ti efforts of our troops, the new Spain will progress on the lines of a totalitarian state in accordance at tue same time with the traditions of her ristory and with modem adaptable to her vigorous national characteristics.” QUESTION: peace a plebiscite be road form of governm eve most Span A

tate or republic?” Ideas On Plebiscite

ANSWER: “As very rightly | point out, a plebiscite is not to be thought of for time. Nor should the immediate concern of the citizens of Spain be the choice the particular regime that is to govern them, for a decision of this kind would cause political passions to run high at a time when con- | ictive work .is essential. “We wish to establish peace and and order so that it may be possible to develop the country on progressive lines.

(Unanswered). “If republicanism failed in Spain to what do you ascribe failure: To inherent faults of republicanism, to incompatibility with Spanish character or to too rapid democratization?” ANSWER: “The republic failed in Spain because it did not cany its promises to the people and ause it did not respect the spirit letter of the Constitution, or the ndations of the political system which it was based. ‘The parties that sectarian and the Popular ont government formed immediately after the elections of

Injustices Charged

“Social injustice was rampant workmen were criminally exploited by their leaders, liberty had been replaced by license, equalily by open support from the Government of one of two sides in a divided nation, and fraternity by murder, arson and robbery, complacently witnessed by authorities. “Between Feb, 17 and June 15 of 1636, 186 churches were totally destroyed and 285 partially destroyed;

Attitude Toward Church

“I think you will agree that events such as these generally mark |

the end of a regime or the ruin of | a nation. We are out to save Spain | from the ruin which has so clearly | threatened her and of which the facts I have just laid before you give a very faint idea.” QUESTION: “Are you a Free Mason? Do you have both Free Mason and Clerical supporters | among your leaders? And what would be vour program vis a vis the Catholic Church and its former ecclesiastical and economic sta-! tus?” ANSWER: “I am not a Free Mason, and my supporters are as strongly opposed as myself to all connections with the Grand Orient and with secret societies which in Spain devoted themselves to revolutionary activities and strongly influenced certain political circles. I have already declared that our soldiers fight for liberty of conscience and respect of religious beliefs and national traditions. In the religious sphere and as against ceaseless persecution by the Marxists and Communists of Catholic Spain with her age-long institutions of social justice and Christian charity, we stand for that great comprehensive spirit which permitted mosques and synagogues to | remain open under the Christian | state.” Church and State ANSWER: “Relations between the | separation of Church and State in Spain?” ANSWER: “Relations between the church and government of the future Spain will be defined in due | course by a Concordat.” |

QUESTION: “What are you offer- | ing Spain calculated to improve so= cial, labor and agrarian conditions, | safeguard from exploitation the underprivileged classes and increase education?”

ANSWER:

“The family and the

| workshop will be the basis for the |

new Spanish society. And the fam- | ily, the workshop, the corporation | of the municipality, province and region will be the principal wheels in the machinery of the new State. The future Spain will be comparable to a vast family without masters, serfs, plutocrats of proletarians.

Outlines Objective

“It will banish class hatred and | foreign intrigue from its soil and will be founded upon social justice.

I'D RATHER BORROW FROM HOUSEHOLD

security of any kind

Only Household Finance Makes

HONOR LOAN

Nowhere else in town can you borrow on this amazing plan

@® "Too good to be true” —"I couldn't believe it” —"How can you do it?” — so run the comments of the hundreds of men and women who have investigated our new Honor Loan Plan. Everyone is amazed that we make @// loans without security.

Why do we? The reason is a simple one. We have found that most people pay an unsecured note as promptly as they do a secured one. So we decided to simplify our loan methods—to ask nothing but yoursigned promise to pay. No chattel mortgage —no co-signersor endorsers —no salary assignments.

7 Features of the Household Finance

HONOR LOAN PLAN

1. Single men or women and married couples who can make regular monthly payments can borrow without security of any kind.

2. Small monthly payments. Example: $14.75 first month decreasing each month to $10.30 last month repays $200 loan in 20 months, including charges.

3. Youdo NOTneed co-makers

ganda to this end. If we left Cata- | lonia to the fate which has over-| taken it the historical unity of Spain would be destroyed, for Catalonia is as much a part of Spain as Lancashire is a part of England or Pennsylvania is a state in the Union. Catalonia Rule

“The world already knows something of the terrible suffering experienced by Catalonia under Red rule, of the destruction of private property and the murder of thousands of peaceful, harmless citizens for no other crime than their ideas or their respectability. | “Bear in mind that nohe of this | cruelty can find a pretext in the | civil war, for Catalonia has escaped | civil war up to the present and you | will see that the misdeeds and | atrocities of which our enemies are | guilty are but part of the policy to which they intend to ‘subject the |

earic Islands as reported? Or other concessions? Has Germany been promised a foothold in Spanish Morocco, mining or other concessions?”

Germany and Italy

ANSWER: “Moral support lent to us by Germany and Italy is due to the fact that they understand the gravity of the Communist menace and appreciate the purport of our crusade in the defense of civilization. We have neither given gor promised concessions of any Kind, territorial or otherwise, to anyone.” QUESTION: “What is your atti tude toward the Anglo-Italian pact specifying that the ‘integrity of present territories of Spain shall, in all circumstances, remain intact and unmodified’?”

ANSWER: “The clause of the An-glo-Italian pact to which you refer

QUESTION: “How many foreign troops do you estimate are aiding the Loyalists and how are they didived as between Frenchmen and | Russians?”

ANSWER: “There are many | thousands of foreigners fighting on the side of the Reds and most of them are Frenchmen or Russians, though other nations are well represented.” QUESTION: “When do you expect the capture of Madrid? Have any other than military reasons oc casioned delay? If you take Madrid, how soon thereafter will the conquest of all Spain eventuate?” ANSWER: (Unanswered.) QUESTION: “It is reported that, since Loyalists forces are composed of Anarchists, Syndicalists, Com-=-munists, Socialists, Democrats and men of varied political creeds, and while the insurgents are composed

of Fascists, Monarchists, Carlists,
