SPAIN ATTACKS VICHY GOVERNMENT.
HOSTILE PRESS.
London Regards Attitude
With Suspicion.
United Press Association.—Copyright. (Reed. 1.30 p.m.) LONDON, Sept. 24. The Spanish Press has intensified its attacks on the Vichy Government, declaring that it is unable to control the North African Empire, and hinting that Spain should step in because it is "called on to impose security, both from the geographical and spiritual viewpoints." The British authorities regard suspiciously .Spanish concerning North Africa. A Spanish news agency says that fresh reports from French Morocco show that support for General de Gaulle is increasing daily, and is likely to be overwhelming sooner than expected. General Nogues' loyalty to Petain is doubtful, it is alleged, particularly in view of air force units being allowed sufficient liberty for many to fly to Gibraltar to join Britain.
