[Special tr "Northern Advocate”! ' AUCKLAND, This Day.
“There is one / thing the people of Republican Spain will never forgive General Franco—that he brought 1 in Moors, a nationality ejected from the country previously, in an attempt to defedt the Spaniards. This is the impression \ brought back by Sisters R. M. Shadbolt, of Auckland, hnd I. Dodd, 0 f Wellington, who were attached to the nursing unit of the International Brigade in Spain for 18 months. They returned by the Rimutaka today. “The morale of the Spanish people is particularly good,” the nurses said. “They are determined to conquer and if it were only 'a matter of equality in armaments, Franco would not last long. “With the aid of Germans, Italians and Moors he has successfully pi'olonged the war for which the NonIntervention Agreement was responsible. , “Food is the greatest necessity in Spain today, though rationing is fair.” The nurses were welcomed tat the wharf by representatives of the New Zealand Spanish Medical Aid Committee.
