SPAIN WAS SAVED
Franco Reviews 'The Communist
Experiment'
PRESENT WORLD EVENTS Rec. 11 a.m. MADRID, May 20. "The present world events demonstrate the clear-sightedness of the Spanish National Movement, which saved Spain from one of the world's greatest crisis, permitting us to confront the future with security and serenity," declared General Franco, in a speech. "It is sad," he added, "to see what is happening to many other places, but such happenings do not surprise us. Similar events occurred in our Red zone and they occur every time an attempt is made to substitute materialism for a Christian sense of life. We have ushered in a new social era under the sign of the gospel, instead of the hammer and sickle, which led Spain to ruin. God's wisdom and mercy permitted the Communist experiment, which after 25 years of slavery, hunger and torture, proved to be a failure."
