Politics have never interested me, and becoming the supreme power of my mother country is far from my thoughts. I ant a soldier and a patriot, and as such I have raised with my comrades the flag of nationalism. What the future will be I cannot as yet say. It will be for the Spanish people to decide. We shall maintain a military -dictatorship, guaranteeing law and order for as long a period as the country needs to regain confidence in itself, and to decide which form of regime it wants to be ruled by. Whether it will'be-a monarchy or a republic I cannot possibly say, because I shall have nothing to say about it. It will be Spain's privilege to decide, and whatever she decides we shall accept.

We want Spain one and undivided under the rule of a new, strong State. We fight for a truly Christian Spain, a Spain which will be respected by foreign nations. The end is now quite clear. And the day when I shall see our flag of the new Spain gloriously waving over all Spanish territory J shall consider; my efforts duly rewarded.' Spain will have been saved, and in saving herself she will have written one more glorious page in her glorious history by: saving, as" well, the whole of Europe from the threat and danger of Commuhism.
