COMPLAINT BY FRANCO
SECRET OFFENSIVE
"WE MUST RESIST THIS ENCIRCLEMENT"
LONDON, June 6.
The Burgos correspondent of the British United Press says that, addressing the Falange Espanola (Spanish Fascist Party), General Franco complained that France was fulfilling the agreement between General Jordana, for Spain, and General Berard, for France, with reluctant slowness, damaging Spain's economic interests.
A great part of the securities belonging to the Spanish banks, he declared, remained in Britain in sequestration or subject to litigation due to 'the monstrous survival of a fictitious beneficiary which the Reds created in the last days of their flight.
General Franco added, "There is a secret offensive against Spain, fostered by those who foisted the horrible crimes of Marxism on Spain. We must resist this encirclement."
The speech is believed to be a prelude to the adoption of a law against syndicates and of ja. self-sufficiency programme in consonance with that of the Axis Powers.
