Portugal
Sir, —G. F. Seward agrees with Dr. Salazar, dictator of Portugal, who keeps the people in subjection. In Portugal only about 4 per cent, of the population can vote, and tittle children work in dirty factories instead of going to school; yet Portugal is supposed to be a Christian state. Dr. Salazar is holding his position by keeping the people ignorant and illiterate.—Yours, etc., H. DAVIS. January 10, 1982. Sir, —G. F. Seward’s defence of Dr. Salazar brings to mind his defence of General Franco. Portugal and Spain have much m common. Both countries are police States. Dr. Salazar recently took precautions to make certain that G. F. Seward’s interpretation of his popularity would not become subject to any change. One may languish in prison without trial in Portugal with the same degrees of brutality as in Spain and for the same reasons. Of course both dictators are decidedly proclerical.—Yours, etc., R.N.W
