FRANCO SPEAKS ON SPAIN
Sir.—Viscount Templewood. who. as Sir Samuel Hoaro. was British Minister at Madrid for some years, and who should have first-hand knowledge of the Franco regime in Soain. made a broadcast in the 8.8. C. Pacific Service last Tuesday evening. Viscount Templewood emphatically declared that continuance of the Franco dictatorship is against the welfare of that unhappy country. Bearing in mind the strongly individualistic temperament of the Spanish people an early downfall of Franco could bring a democratic system, but the longer Franco held power the more sure the inevitable reaction would be communism. Viscount Templewood expressed his view that stoppage of oil and some other vital supplies would quickly bring a necessary change in the Spanish Government. —Yours etc . A.H.S. July 3, 1947. ’
