Spanish Rebels Planning To Set Up Fascist State, Franco’s Reply Reveals
Insurgent Chief Claims His Armies Are Financed by Own Resources Plus Equipment Taken From Loyalists and Contributions From ‘Friends.’
By WEBB MILLER (Copyright in All Countries, 1937, by United Press)
LONDON, July 15.—The Spanish Rebels intend to establish a government similar to the Fascist regime of Italy and Germany, Gen. Francisco Franco, Rebel army chief, declared in reply to a questionnaire. His reply has just beech received in London. In response to a question about the form of government
contemplated, Franco replied that it will have “defined national char-
of the nation. This will be the death of the powerful empire. Q—There has been much discussion abroad regarding the happenings at Guernica. Would you give | the official version of what exactly occurred there? A—The “scandal of Guernica” is an artificial campaign of Red prop- | aganda. Guernica is a village of | Jess than 6000 inhabitants; it was less than five kilometers from the [advanced lines, in a most important center of communications, has a bomb and pistol factory, and was at the time command headquarters [and center of supplies for that sec-
acteristics—a suit cut to fit Spain's | tor.
own measure.” Asked about the prospective rela- | tions between church and state, he | wrote: “Just as cordial as they have been in the past, as is befitting a people the immense majority of whom profess the Catholic religion. The profound Catholic-social sentiment of our movement is a guaranty of that.” ‘Good Friends’ Contribute
Q—Would you give any details about how the war is being financed by the Rebel cause and what securities are back of the new Rebel notes? A—From the financial point of view as well as from the military, Spain is a country standing on its own feet, dedicated to triumph regardles of the sacrifices she will have to make. Spain carries on the war with her own resources; with the war material taken from the enemy in the battlefields, which aggregate hundreds of artillery pieces and thousands of other arms; with what we took, bought from foreign countries by our enemies for over a hundred million of pesetas; with whatever little we can buy outside Spain with the money contributed by some good friends and with the contributions of all Rebels among whom there are persons with small capital who have given to our cause, The new notes have the guaranty of the gold that day after day ac~ cumulates in our banks; of the natural wealth of our country; of the foreign currency produced by our exports and of the gold exported by our enemies, which should be repatriated.
Predicts Fascist State
Q—What would be the form of the state under the Rebel regime? Would it closely follow the totalitarian regimes of Italy and Germany? Would it assume the form of a corporative state? A—Spain has her own tradition, and the majority of the modern formulas to be found in the totalitarian countries can be found already to have been incorporated in our country’s past. Our regime, which from day to day is being perfected, will revive in modern form those institutions which were interrupted by the liberal regime which caused the loss to Spain of the remains of her empire. It will be similar to the regimes of Italy and Germany in that it will reinforce the hierarchic principle, exalt love of country, practice social justice and the well-being of the middle and working classes; but it will have defined national characteristics.
Hits Nonintervention
Q—Has the operation of the Nonintervention Committee worked to vour disadvantage and, if so, how have the governments concerned faithfully observed the nonintervention agreement? A—Because the Reds have a frontier with France, a country of powerful military industry and seat of Red revolutionaries in Europe, they were able, despite the Committee of Nonintervention and Control, to receive over the frontier thousands of volunteers and large quantities of material. The Rebel frontier with Portugal, a country without military industry, offers, even if we desired it, no such compensation. England has observed the agreement although under the British flag and under cover of women and children refugees, there have been shipped out the funds of the Biscayvan banks, much of it the product of acts of exploitation. Such procedure may be followed by further and similar subterfuges, such as the organization in England of companies to operate Red steamers for contraband purposes, such as has occurred in France and Russia.
Terms Democracy Failure
Q—Do you consider democratic republicanism to be impracticable in Spain and if so, why? A—Five years of such government, which was the cause of this providential war, have proved for Spain the false democracy of the republican parliamentary regime. Not only do I consider it impracticable in Spain, but also in those countries such as England, where the sense of landed property and tradition is so strong as to be considered a vital part of the life
CONSTIPATION CUTS DOWN YOUR ENERGY, DULLS HAPPINESS
Don’t let common constipation take all the fun out of living. This condition drains your vitality and enthusiasm, It may also be the cause of dull headaches, poor appetite, sleeplessness. You feel punk. Why endure half-sick days when you can correct constipation due to meals low in “bulk” by eating a delicious cereal? Millions of people have used Rellogg’s ALL-BRAN with Satisfactory results. Laboratory tests prove it’s safe and effective. Within the body, ArLL-BrAN absorbs twice its weight in water, and gently cleanses the intestines. Tent this food better than taking weakening pills and drugs? Eat two tablespoonfuls daily. Three times daily, in severe cases.

(a logical military operation.
| Terms Bombing Propaganda
| Its bombardment at that time would have been nothing more than But this did not happen, and those who set fire to Oviedo in 1934 and in 1936, and to Irun, Durango, Amorebicta, Munguia and many other towns during this campaign, destroyed Guernica as an act of prepared propaganda. An army which took by force of arms a city such as Bilbo without destroying it, without firing at it a single cannon shot—despite the defense put up in its surroundings —can give the most formidable lie to this defamatory campaign. Q—What is the program of the Rebels, designed to improve the social, labor and agrarian conditions of the people as a whole; to guard the working classes against exploitation and to widen educational opportunities? A—The Rebel program is to impose the law on both workers and employers; to place the sense of duty alongside that of right. Nationalist Spain will maintain and augment the social improvements already reached by the workers in an atmosphere of harmony with the collaboration of capital and labor.
Promises Wage Security
It will establish security of wages, organize workers’ compensation funds, improve living conditions, increase the consuming power of the working classes and offer them happy and comfortable homes. It will establish for the present the possibility of ownership. It will improve agricultural conditions and create national credits for peasants and fishermen. It will develop the natural resources of Spain and set up ‘a progressive and just distributing or-
experience of |
ganization for the country’s products. A state which does not traffic with the votes of its workers nor with the protection of the banks and the employers, can do all this and more.
Q—Is there a possibility, so far as one can sce at present, of an eventual restoration of the monarchy? What would be the form of government under a Rebel regime immediately after the war, and would there eventaully be free elections? A—The settling up process after a war, the construction of a strong and modern state, the surgical operations needed by the nation, require time, and it would be silly to attempt, at present, to forecast what the future might bring forth.
Won't Predict War's End
Q—Would you care to hazard an opinion as to how much longer the war may last if there is no peace negotiation? A—It is impossible to venture any date. I hope it will be much sooner than people believe, although time is on our side. With each day that passes, liberated Spain becomes more and more an organized state with all kinds of resources, while Red Spain is being dissolved by the poisons within its own system. Q—How many prisoners do the Rebels hold now? And how many have been exchanged with the enemy? It is reported abroad that both ‘sides often execute prisoners taken on the battlefield. Would you say anything regarding this report? What is done with prisoners taken by the Rebels. A-<In our camp we have more than 20,000 prise soners and more

struck by a car
at 8216 E. Michigan St. as she hurried home hugging a huge box of

than 10,000 enemy soldiers who had been forced to take up arms, have been freed. Only those are shot who have been convicted of common crimes and the leaders or instigators of the Red Communist revolution.
Lauds U. S. Neutrality Q—Have you any special message for the people of the United States or of the Latin American republics? A—When the people of the United States learn to know Spain and to follow the epic of the Rebel army, they will understand with
what firmness we have defended the culture, the faith and the civilization which long ago we carried to America, and which Asiatic barbarism has attempted to destroy.
In the meantime the just and |
heutral attitude of the. United States Government is worthy of, and receives, our full gratitude. Rebel Spain has already received from the Spanish American countries proofs of affection which can never be forgotten. Some of these proofs have been noteworthy in that they have therein recognized the true Spain. Only a few of them, with hostile governments, have refrained from sending us greetings and wishing for our success. One of the main points of the policy of the new state will be the intensification of relations, in all branches of life, with the countries of our race.
